I'm so excited about life

Yesterday we got an update to our future living situation.  We had been under the impression that we would be moving into a small 1 bedroom apartment this weekend.  We were disappointed but still excited.  It would have been kind of difficult come July once it was 3 of us but our housing is free and we feel strongly that beggars should not be choosy.  Yesterday, it was clarified that actually, we will be spending about a month in a hotel room on the mine property and then will move into a bigger 2 bedroom apartment that is currently housing a family of 5.  We are very relieved and even more excited.  Of course after a year of living in hotel rooms, I wish that we would have a kitchen right away but I guess after a year, what is 1 more month.  Besides the last month that we spent in Dallas at a friends house with full access to a kitchen, we have spent the previous 3 months living at a hotel with access to the restaurant kitchen but have been eating a lot of restaurant food for so long.  At least we will have a small fridge in our room which is an improvement from previous hotel rooms and will be eating at a different restaurant than where I have been eating so at least it will be a new menu.

So far, Rob is really excited about his new job...more excited than I have ever seen him about a job and I am so happy about that.  I also have to say that I am thrilled at the prospect of being a housewife and stay-at-home mom.  This would never be possible in the US and, never in my life, did I dream of this or even think that it was something that I would ever want.  All that I can say is that life is full of surprises and that I love my husband so much for pulling this off.
