On the road again...

Coming from an ex-military wife, that should not seem like such a big statement. We knew when we accepted our present lease that we would most likely have to make a move sooner rather than later. So, we have been approved for this huge house. I am excited but overwhelmed all at the same time. I will have space to move and my claustrophobia won't run rampant on me when someone leaves stuff lying around. This is a good thing. I should have been packing this week but I have been sick and just not up to the energy that packing will take. I will have to work diligently this weekend.

This is a busy weekend for me already, we are having our graduation recognition ceremony on Sunday. I am helping with it. I love being able to recognize our youth we have a great bunch of them. It seems like just yesterday that it was my kids who were being recognized. Now, they are gone (almost all of them) and I am helping to show our love and appreciation to others....the kind of busy weekend that I like.

Short post I know but wanted to keep you all up to date on the latest with us. I promise to write more when the fog lifts and my sinuses don't actually have full control over my brain.

I'll be lost...

Yesterday we went and looked at a couple of different houses. We found one close to where we are now so it won't be long and tedious moving. I now have to motivate myself to begin packing the house up. We will be (hopefully) taking possession on June 8th. It will be a busy weekend. The house is huge. When the lady told me 3000 sq ft. I did not think it possible given the houses we have looked at but, I think it could be very close. I am sure that with all I have gotten rid of before the last move that I won't have furniture in every room. But the grand kids will have plenty of rooms to get lost in or find me when I get lost LOL. I am excited, nervous and already tired. But, before the last move, I had almost my entire house packed and ready to go on moving day. It went very smoothly and I hope that this time it will go as smooth. Just have to wait on our application to be approved by the landlord. Once we put in writing our intentions to the current landlord and I had to give a date to the new one for taking possession, I realized that 28 days is not very long. Keep us in prayer please!

upside down, inside out

I feel like that song that I hear....girl you turn me upside down and inside out. We are once again looking for a rental. Some of the places that we look at are a joke. Others have potential. I looked at a lot of places before this one we are in now, I knew was the one. So, we are back at it. We still have to give our 30 day notice to the landlord but, I shudder to think of doing it before I have something. Of course that works against me, since some of the places have been empty for awhile and they need to fill them sooner than we can....I am sure that there is a lesson in all of this. Is it relying on God? Is it having the faith that I know that no matter what we do we are taken care of? Haven't I learned this lesson over and over again? Yet, here I am again....worrying.
As a little girl my sister was the worrier. She could never get over why I didn't worry. I just shrugged and continued on my way. So, today, I guess I make up for it.

As I wrote this, a man came into my office for food. He told me he needed it today. He was diabetic and needed something other than the candy bars he had for breakfast. Hmmmm. He was in a few weeks back and I had a hard time getting him to leave. He asked me to buy him a ticket to Pennsylvania..he wanted to go back home. I explained that I did not have that authority and he just kept staying and asking. To say I was uncomfortable today to have him in there was an understatement. At least this time, Phil was in his office and I was not alone with him. He didn't stay as long. I did give him food and he gave me the rest of his candy bars. And I think I have problems.....

ready, set go

Well, I was doing quite well on keeping my blog updated but had company. It was wonderful having family visit and always special to get to spend special time with both of them. I have to say though I am not sure that the let down after they leave is really healthy for you. I told Joe I had to bring my sister out here...I needed a dose of her. I got her here and for almost 12 days she was a shadow to me. I loved it. I got used to it....and then she had to get back on that plane and leave again. I tired to remain strong and not cry but it was no use, everytime I thought about it, I cried again. I had to kick her out at the curb so that I wouldn't make a fool of myself at the airport. How silly is that??? I miss her already. God has truly blessed me with special family members. I am so fortunate! Thank you Lord!
