I came back to Hamilton about a week ago and set about almost immediately to working on our new house. I bought this huge 90-year-old house on Aberdeen together with my friends Justin and Rachel. My parents and I spent a week working on my part of the house... refinishing hardwood floors, painting, fixing, etc. It is starting to look great and it will be a fantastic home for Micah and I. We live on the second floor while our friends are on the main floor.
I am looking forward to spending Christmas with friends and family and beyond to January when I will begin to teach at Redeemer. There have been so many changes and it will take some time before I feel settled here. At times I feel quite displaced and wonder whose life it is that I am living. I long to feel "at home" somewhere again; it is hard without Paula. But we're getting there and I know that this place will be a good home.
