Well, it's official. We have finally moved into our "forever until we move again" apartment. And it's been interesting. Little by little things are arriving. What G had from his station on the west coast arrived a couple days ago and we went from having no furniture to having a mattress, tv stand, a myriad of stringed instruments, a card table, and ONE folding chair...full house. Of course, nothing can happen without a few bumps along the way. Yesterday we learned that we weren't eligible for a government move to bring my stuff from New England down to us here. So now we plan more, arrange more, and eventually life will settle down and a nest will begin to appear. Until then, eat dinner on the floor, and ward off the cats.


Tonight we're running away for a tiny bit. Good news, my car is finally ready to come home. So up we go, 3hrs up the coast, to get my baby. Lucky for us we have family up where we are going. Family that up until now we didn't get to see very often because of the distance. So we will drive, we will visit, we will sleep, and then enjoy being in civilization for a few hours. The best part, I'll have my baby back. :)
 The poor hubby will be happy, too. His usual schedule has been thrown up this week due to a coworker needing him to cover a shift, but being "unable" (or rather unwilling) to switch his days. So my dear man has worked hard with no days off, there before the whole station wakes up or arrives, working more hours than most...The only thing he complains of is being tired.
 He's sweet, he's meek, he's humble, he's handsome...naturally I'm gonna brag on him a bit. And the two days off that are ahead of him, he deserves completely!


I've momentarily hopscotched from my study on giving thanks to the book of Ruth. A book I've always loved, and actually referenced in our wedding ceremony.

But Ruth said,
"Do not urge me to leave you or return 
from following you. For where you go
I go, and where you lodge I will lodge
your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
Where you die I will die, and 
there will I be buried.
May the Lord do so to me and more
if anything but death parts me from you."
And when Naomi saw that she was determined 
to go with her, she said no more.

And that's how I feel, being down here. Away from my family and my friends and civilization in general. Picking up and following, blindly in a way. Knowing there's a plan, and knowing that you trust who is leading you, even if you have no idea what will happen next.

"He is the only one who will not perish, who will never leave us, who will provide, who will protect."

So I have some good news, I seem to have found a job. Yes, a job, an actual job, where I leave my house and interact with people while holding sharp objects. I'm excited, I really am. But... Yes, there's a "But", there's a big part of me that doesn't want it. The reason is one that seems to be an unusual one for women my age. I want to be a mom. I've always assumed that someday I'd settle down and do the whole raising a family thing, in that way that I think most everybody does. A couple years ago I was a little surprised to find that when I had a bad day at work (you know, the kind that leaves you miserable,  feeling like you want to cry, and wondering why you even bother) I would come home and usually wind up in my mom's room, snuggled up with her and letting the tears come when they needed. And I would wish that that was my job. To be the one doing the comforting and the loving on. To have the arms whose comforting hold is sought out on ...

About 5 months ago I posted about wants Vs. needs, regarding having a job opportunity fall right into my lap and simply being scared to take it. Hard to believe how fast those months have gone by. Now I find myself 5 months into the job and loving it. Never have I worked for such genuine and caring individuals in my life. You know you enjoy your workplace and the people you are with when you are willing and happy to come in early or stay late or even take on an extra day or two that you usually have off. Likewise the weather is much different in affecting the salon down here than at home in New England. We have gone through our first burst of "Tropical Storms" (depression 9 that was named Hurricane Hermine) gave us a Saturday off, as well as a gloomy, almost-fall-like setting.  I close my eyes and listen to the screeches and twills of the gulls and pipers, cormorants and random pelicans, all patrolling the neighborhood after last nights rainfall. I feel the soft ...

Today is actually our last day here. After a frustratingly slow exchange with the woman in charge of long term rentals,  finally we were notified that our new keys and contract were waiting for us at the office, and we could pick them up and start the process of tediously moving boxes 6 apartments down... So at the moment I am currently taking a much needed coffee break, realizing that there is no food(having prepared it that way so we wouldn't have a bunch of leftovers to haul over), and the half and half is a little off, and all my clean clothes are in bags and my house is half in boxes and half all over the place. We stopped at the realty office this morning and grabbed a key for the next apartment and decided to check it out on the way home. It was dark, quiet, empty, and small. The complex we live in is made up of duplexes. The apartment that I am currently packing up, makes up the right side of the house(if you're standing outside looking at the front), the new one is...
