Mary K's ramblings

30 June 2006

Here is what remained in my closet just as I moved out of the Richmond apartment. It was a sad little closet. I kept 2 outfits as I moved to the remainder of my things to the Homestead on Monday. I have moved all of my stuff to the Homestead in Lex now. That is where you will find me.

It is only about 2 1/2 months before I leave and I am trying not to absolutely wig out and throw all my stuff away for not wanting to have to deal with it.

I have moved my crud to Lex. I had to pack it just to unpack and then repack for Brazil. It is in the sitting there staring at me phase in room at the Homestead. I am at a point of just wanting to pitch it all. I know that is not the answer, at least not the good/right answer. ;7) Any prayers made for me right now are greatly appreciated and actually highly coveted. I am on the edge and the rope I am holding on to is getting a frayed.

In the midst of the anxiety and fear, I am excited about what the future holds. I have a man who loves me beyond my ability to understand why. I have a God who loves me even more than that and He has me in the palm of His hand. I am asking Him to cover me with that other hand, I could use the protection.

I also have great friends like y'all. It may be a sad little closet but I am a happy girl (when I am not freaking out).

Love and hugs.

I know it has been far too long a time so please don't scold me.

I know I have spent far too long a time away from my blog. Thank you to those of you who continue to peek and see if I have added anything new or not. The redesign took a lot out of me and I am not fully happy with it all. More changes to come now that I have a little breathing room.

Here is the update on life…

I took my parents to the airport this past Monday (19th). They are back in Brazil safe and sound. Dad had a kidney stone attack on the plane though it appears all is well for the time being. I miss them and I am envious because they are in Brazil and I am not.

Wedding plans are progressing. Mom carried the dress to Brazil so it is there. So are the invitations, the lembranças, most of the tulle and clothe to be used in decorating. There are still some other bags out there on their way to Brazil and there are still a lot of bags here for others to take down at one time or another. I helped mom pack up some of my shower gifts and other household goods and there are duffels galore in the garage. I have another shower at church and I will have to do the packing of those items and my personal items when the time arrives. Walmir and mom are going to deal with the honeymoon plans and mom is looking into someone to cater the reception. The less work the better cause it is already big.

I am moving in with my brother and sister in law by the end of the month so I can save some more money. I am dealing with all the itty bitty crap at my house and am half of a mind to just pitch it all in a trash bag and be done with it. I will go through it all and see if it is to pitch or not. It is just a hassle. As Ash told me on the phone, her now husband made an astute statement that the last 15% of your stuff takes 85% of your time in dealing with it. How unfortunately true. I will be working through that tonight and the next few days.

I have turned in my resignation at work and the 31st of august will be my final day there. I am glad to see they have requested an overlapping period for the person they will hire in my spot. I would rather train than leave a training manual.

Anyway, now that the parents are back in Brazil I have a little more time to me cause I am not hanging with them. I am trying not to spaz about moving to Lex then Brazil. I am trying not to spaz about wedding plans. I am trying not to spaz over the thought of getting married and being a good wife to my man. I am trying not spaz over all the little things that still need to be done and I have not figured out what they are. My rope is a little frayed at the end but God tied a knot in it and I am holding on.

Love to you all.
