Spring Cleaning

I must say that there is nothing so inspiring as a spring snow to make one want to clean their entire house...not to mention the fact that one's mother is coming to see one tomorrow. :D Indeed, my house always could use a cleaning, but I'm not cleaning out of fear so much out of respect for a coming guest. I love my mom and want to show that indeed I did learn how to clean and do it well. I've been looking forward to this visit ever since she mentioned coming a few weeks ago...it will be nice to show her how we've arranged furniture and pictures. I love my little home (although I am very very excited to move in May) and I look forward to showing it at it's best.
Isaac and I recently bought new furniture...a sofa and love seat. It is so refreshing to have somewhere to sit or lay in the front room that doesn't require too much upkeep. The $8 love seat we owned before this was dirty even though I cleaned it and always was a pain to get to recline. Now we have some sitting space that is genuinely comfortable and we say to one and all come visit!

Housewife Tendencies

Married life has been an interesting transition for Isaac and myself. We have been learning all kinds of things, including how to go through loss together, how to argue then make up, how to deal with finances, how to support each other while maintaining different opinions on things, etc, etc, etc. It has been an uplifting and challenging experience, but I feel like we have made some beautiful progress in the building of our marital relationship. I'm immensely blessed by the fact that Isaac is my husband. I love him more and more every day and it's simply amazing to me that it's possible to love someone as much as I do him.
Anywho, back to the reason for the title. All the transitioning is coming to a head in the last few days and I am beginning to make real changes in my activities at home. I am now dedicating more and more time to cleaning and maintaining my home at the level I want it to be. I want to invite the Spirit into my house more and more abundantly. It has been amazing to see how just organizing the important papers has created an inclination for cleaning the rest of the house...yup. I'm breaking out of the rut I was in and it is showing not just today but has been showing over several days. Yay for me!
