Moving Adventures

This was supper. It was surprisingly good!

We even got creative and melted the cheese!

I only have time for a super quick update on my ditching Leth.

The Original Situation: TB finds job in RD, wants to move in with parents in order to save on rent. I accept job at Egreen, don't want to pay rent for house I don't live in. TB and I find new "room mate:" AN. Life is good. TB and I will split other half of rent for remainder of lease, and terminate living situation at end of lease. Woot.

What Actually Happened: TB finds job in RD, wants to move in with parents in order to save on rent. I accept job at Egreen, don't want to pay rent for house I don't live in. TB and I find new "room mate:" AN. Life is good. TB and I will split other half of rent for remainder of lease, and terminate living situation at end of lease. LG gets phone call from landlord, asking (in no uncertain terms) "How soon can you be out? We'll cut your lease early, and you won't have to clean anything because we're just going to renovate the apartment right away anyways. What are your thoughts?" Beyond the fact that, through Landlord of the Year, I had just received the biggest blessing from God, the only thing running through my head was: " Oh crap, what about AN??" In the end, she and I talked, and she had a backup situation planned just in case something happened to our plans. So I praised Jesus for doors opening, doors closing, and friends who love me, and life moving on.

God is good. All the time. God is good.

Jesus blessed me with a stunning sunset tonight.

The tv blessed me with Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. Twice.

It was a good day.

Update!

Sometimes it feels like I'm all alone in the world and I'm drowning and all I've got to hold on to is a useless stick, which will do nothing to save me. Other times I feel as if I'm on top of the world, and it's exhilerating and exciting and terrifying all at the same time.

I'm excited and terrified to go back to camp this year, which will be my fourth summer. Many changes have already happened (good and bad... bad being friends leaving), and many are yet to come. I'm excited for the possibilities this year holds, actually. Don't get me wrong, I'm scared out of my mind, too, but I'm slowly but surely dealing with that fear day by day.

It may be kind of shallow and vain of me, but my biggest concern for the upcoming 6 months is how often I'll be able to wear my skirts. It's often rainy and/or cold in the spring, so I'll want to wear pants; I anticipate working almost every day this summer, so I'll have to wear pants in there; and it's often cold, rainy and/or windy in the fall, so again, I'll want to wear pants more than anything. With my job at the hotel, I've been allowed to wear skirts at work for the first time since working at Sears in high school, and it's been marvelous! I can say with certainty that I've only worn pants in this building three times: once to drop off my resume, and twice for night shifts. I'm at the point now where skirts feel more natural to me than pants. I also love all of my tights, which makes skirts so much more fun! Whatever will I do without my skirts for 6 months? Deal, I guess. Because that's what life is about: dealing with whatever's thrown at you.

I'd also like to add just in passing that if any of you are ever in Leth for the last weekend of March and have $10 to spare, I would definitely recommend you go see Global Drums at the University. It's quite awesome and the vast majority of you don't even know what you're missing! Seriously.

I also have less than a month to work through the whole Basic: series by Francis Chan. Wish me luck on that endeavour... God is good.

All the time. God is good.
