our sunday afternoons together are long gone...

I love Sundays. Sunday has always been my favorite day of the week.

I'm back in Renton right now. Visiting, doing laundry, writing encouragement cards to the VBS kids in my class, and using my computer a little. My family isn't home right now. They went to the nursing home to sing. I would've gone, but I have a sick person voice and I didn't want to get any of the elderly people there sick.

So I guess I'll talk about where I moved, since I don't have much of anything else to talk about. I moved over to the peninsula. I'm living in this little apartment room above a lady's garage. It's a little smelly but it's good. And free. It's kind of weird being back in my bedroom right now. It's so empty with all my stuff gone and Kaitie moved things around and put up a table and all this crazy stuff. It was weird being at church too. I don't think I've been in a worship service at May Valley without playing piano or doing something in two years. I didn't even clean up that much after the special luncheon - I just held a baby. It was nice.

Anyway...I live right on the beach now, which is really nice. I've never really lived anywhere like that. Only in cities, pretty much. And the smaller ones were just surrounded with...corn. I think I'll like it. I let myself get a tiny bit bored, because I'm not working and I don't know that many people over there. I'm so used to babysitting or cleaning someones house or doing stuff like that in my free time. I've always tried to keep the need to redeem my time in my head, but I'm realizing that doesn't necessarily mean always working or doing something. It's such a gift to have time to just grow. Learn and grow closer to God. And I need to make sure I take hold of that.

I don't really have much else to say right now. It's fun seeing my family and talking to people though. Ha, I've only been gone a week. That's alright though.
