Finally settling in

So here we are at the end of February...over 2 months since we left England and we are finally settling in to our lives here in LA...well, sort of!

The last 3 weeks have been so hectic with moving out of Katie and Andrew's house and into our own place. We held out for a duplex that our old landlord's friend was buying and all of their paperwork finally went through and we got to move in on the 6th of February. It was a little weird that first Saturday just the 3 of us in our new home, but we absolutely love it. Before we moved in, we all had a round of sickness, and then the day before we moved in, I went to the doc and had a sinus infection, and then the day we moved in, Camden had a high fever (teething related...last molar coming through) and I had to take him to the doc to make sure it wasn't an ear infection. All the while dealing with the crazy doctor situation because we didn't have our member number but had coverage...long story but I'm glad it's over!
We finally got well and my mom came out last week to help us unpack and we got everything in it's place for the most part aside from waiting on a couple pieces of furniture. The night she left, I came down with a stomach bug and then the day after I got well, Jared came down with a virus with a high fever and is just starting to feel better today. Camden still has a little cough (a lingering cold) and I think our bodies are just so run down and we need to REST! So I feel massively out of touch with the world, but I've been learning a lot to just slow down and not worry about all of the little things of life (dishes, laundry, tidying up the house, etc.), but rather enter the Lord's rest.

Hebrews 4:10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
I feel like this is a continual lesson I have to learn here on earth bc of my personality and how I'm wired, but I know it must be important to rest that even the creator of the universe needed to take a break! So, if any of you have any good ideas on how to enter rest, let me know!


P.S. Camden is literally running everywhere now! He's starting to make a little more sense when he "talks", too! Here is a short "dance" video Camden wanted you all to see, too!
