This economy is a wonderful thing for bringing in change to our lives.  But this is nothing new for the Crazy Rosenberrys. We havebeen layed off, moved to find work, and lived places we never thought we would have. And this has tought us a verry important lesson. No matter what happens, It will all be ok. Our favorite mantra is “it’s not a mud hut in Africa”, we have it too well.  And so after nine years of learning the lesson, I can say that i am excited about the new ways to live and what is in store.

Months ago, we joked with our friend Dan that if the depression came again he would move in with us. A few weeks ago I was sitting on the bed getting Rocket down for a nap and the strangest thing happened. I got a super clear thought. This is amazing simply because i never have a clear thought. ADD and all. The thought was “this is where Dan will live” .

OK

Sure

Then next evening i walk in to our bedroom and find Chris on the Phone with none other than Dan. I instantly knew what it was about.   You get a weird feeling when you knwo you have heard the voice of God. It almost takes your nees out from under you.

So this weekend, we will begin the adventure of communal living. I always thought it would be when we moved to Jpusa.  God is perfect not me.

The kids are all in one room and that is an issue that is going to need major focus.  We have already taken two car fulls of stuff to the local thrift store. There is many more to go. We have too many toys.  We have to many movies, too many magazines i have been holding on to for over a decade, ect. I am so greatful for the need to purge. And also the chance to decorate a bedroom for me and chris. Seams trivial, but we have never had a bedroom that we liked.

I scored a gallon of beautiful paint called Rain Dance(blue) from Lowes for 5 clams. We got a wall of bookshelves too. I went to Urban Outfitters and got a rug and some coverlets. I am so excited. Our new room is smaller but so much nicer.

ok, kids need intervention.
