It's lovely here in our little town of Diosd. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and my neighbors are now hanging SLABS of meat from the balcony (sausage is for wusses!). Come on, what's not to love about Spring? Somehow, magically, my allergies are even non-existent!PHOTO: Planting our new spring colors. One MUST have geranium window boxes if one lives in Europe!
For those who haven't yet heard, I have a new, wonderful roommate at my house, Orsi. She's Hungarian and works with our Budapest city team and the Ev. Free denomination here in Hungary. Orsi is my favorite new feature of this season: a new workout partner, a mutual LOST addict, ministry-minded, and she's just easy to be around. (It's such an under-rated quality in friendship.) And as an added bonus, a whole new world has opened to me at the grocery store when I now shop with a Hungarian speaker. (You mean we HAD that all along?!?) It's glorious. I'm so grateful for God's provisions and the friends He's brought into my life here.
These last couple of weeks have been super-full, but such is Spring. We have several teammates coming and going in the next month, so we've been making space, moving around furniture, organizing and unloading shipping containers. In addition, I've been preparing for our women's retreat (next weekend in Portugal), event planning for Fall conferences and reading Getting Things Done (which is kicking my butt with more things to organize and GET DONE!).
For now, TGIF. I'm looking forward to an easy night before Spring Fever hits tomorrow and it's time to file and clean!
