And for today...

I do always blog about

whatever is current in my life...

which right now is lots of unpacking...

so grateful for each and every comment 

and email! Thank you!

I did some epic-for-me unpacking yesterday...

at least 15 boxes and moving many books.

Today I did a fairly substantial re-org of our

master bedroom closet and our bedroom 

is more and more chaos-free.

*

I knew that I would have to plunge right in

to my new life as well:

last night I went to Bible study at my local church 

and then out to eat with friend from book club;

this morning I went swimming with a dear friend

at 8 am at our local pool.

Very refreshing and lovely!

*

We hope in the days, 

other than to celebrate the glorious feast of Pentecost,

to go to various stores, including IKEA,

for things we would like for our new home.

So I've also been busy getting the library ready for this.

Still have miles to go but at least we got the following done!

*

We used another lovely Cross that

we were given as a soon-after the wedding gift

since we still cannot find the one that we used

last time for our prayer stand corner.

*

Mr. Husband and I put this together just before lunch;

I did the actual set up but could not of done it without him!

This prayer stand was the wedding gift of many people,

including family...it is handmade by a priest in the States.

These are our wedding icons.

And the Rushnyk is the one we were hand-tied with in our 

wedding.

I really love it now that it is all set up!

We are still figuring books and where to fit them, etc.

Books nearest to prayer stand are 

many of our Orthodox books...

*

Yesterday I put in an order for more

books via Ancient Faith Publishing

for a summer book sale at our far-away church!

*

I can't wait to actually have our house in better order

to actually use our library to read in.

My 'rule' for myself in the new place

is that the bedroom and library/chapel/guest room 

is that no electronics (smart phone, computer) are entering.

I am so excited thus for some peaceful spaces in our home

where quietness can reign!

*

I am excited for the Feast of Pentecost and that

we can be so blessed and comforted by this glorious feast!
