Lost and Find

Do you ever feel so lost and you aren't sure why you do? That is me today. I woke and went to work as usual. I think it started yesterday though. We went to view a house we are buying. I have so many ideas. I want to change things, cosmetic things, but I am brimming. My father and father-in-law are amazing to offer their woodworking skills to help me and Brad. I am not posting pictures to introduce you to the Dryer home until the title is signed and we have keys because I do not want to jinx it.

I am also a little lost because I want to become friends with people in the city we will be living in. I'm not a church person. It's just not my thing. I want to find community things to do though. I want to be involved, but I'm not sure with what. On October 5th, I am going with several co-workers to help with a building project in Detroit. I'm looking forward to doing the volunteer work. I have always wanted to do volunteer work and I can't wait to start.

The house thing has me feeling slightly overwhelmed and nervous. These projects are not huge, they aren't massively expensive like remodeling a kitchen. It is shelves, painting and furniture. The woodworking projects are something I'm the most nervous about. I hate starting a project and then not finishing it. I'm so concerned that that will happen. I have lived in the land of half-decorated, hand me down land for a while because the places we lived never felt like home. This place feels like a home. I am so glad that we are not moving in right away because it means I can tackle the things I need to slowly. So I can complete them with finesse.

Did I mention that this place is down the road from Northwest Ohio's largest Antique store? Fun times making something old feel new again!
