My Project Runway

Our plane was getting ready for take off exactly one year ago. We put our house on the market June 1st and it was sold June 19th.  Still an amazing miracle to me! We had just weeks before we had to sell ev.er.y.thing. July 26th, 2008 our plane took off and we have been on an incredible journey ever since. We began our descent March 4th, 2009 when we finally arrived in Thailand. But since then we have been in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for the clear to land. We have been here but we are not yet settled in a place of our own. So we are still somewhat in transition. I am very ready to get this plane back on the ground again. We need to rent a place by July 1. We have been looking like crazy for a while in every possible way. On-line, driving around looking for signs, putting notes in the mailboxes on vacant homes. Not much has come of it...yet. So, now that we are in June, the countdown is on. It is stretching to my faith. I feel my ears pop as we continue to descend. But I still do not see the runway. I know it's there. Probably just some clouds blocking my visibility. I have no idea what I will be landing on. Some houses come fully furnished, some partly furnished, some come with absolutely nothing. I have heard of occasions where people had to furnish the kitchen including the sink and even a water pump! I am hoping that will not be the case. Finishing a kitchen can be costly so I am praying that the place we get has at least that. I have been mentally preparing as if we will have to do it all. I have shopped around, saw what was out there, did my price comparisons, and today I made the project...My Project Runway. John laughed at me. I felt like a little girl making a collage. I cut out all my choices of furniture from the catalog and organized them into rooms. I may not need to purchase it all, but just in case we need something... I will be ready. What store? Which one? How much? It was really fun to put that project together today. Once I get past the initial overwhelming-ness of starting over, I get kind of excited. Ahh. I haven't had a home in just about a year. It's going to feel so nice even if it is with other people's furniture at first (if I had to). I am ready to recreate a home for my family. We just need to see the runway so we can finally land. So clear up clouds and let us see.
