Ready ready ready, ready to run.

Forever a gypsy. Forever a faithful mom. Forever myself. Don't fret, or come to conclusions, by the mention of the word "mom". I will make it very clear for you that there is absolute impossibility in the realm of me being pregnant. I am, of course, referring to my darling kitten, Oso. Though it has been years since she could practically be dubbed a kitten, I still refer to her as such, due mostly to her miniature frame and playful quality. Now, to focus on the first phrase offered upon the platter of this blog, "Forever a gypsy". I am saddened and proud to announce that once again I am uprooting, packing my car (and a few others) to capacity, and moving. This adventure was completely removed from any plans I had for myself this year, and I am, I admit, slightly apathetic towards the idea. I have settled into the home I am dwelling in now quite well. Over a year under the same roof could easily be accounted as a miracle in my books. Due to this fact, it will be slightly more challenging to lift off. I try to live rather simply, but as per usual, the longer one dwells in the same place the more one seems to obtain. I have slowly started to take on rooms in the house, while armed with duct tape and cardboard boxes. My goal is to have all unnecessary, and hardly used belongings locked and loaded into their boxes, ready to move in the blink of an eye. My final day to completely erase my existence in the home that has sheltered me and loved me for twelve + months will be the 30th. Strategically planned around the date of my tattoo appointment on the 31st. The idea of pushing, lifting, and dragging boxes and furniture on a swollen foot deemed itself absolutely un-appealing. But now, NOW! let me boast upon the roommate God has completely blessed me to live with! Rachel Hibbs is one of the strongest women I know. Headstrong and yet, ever so generous. Beautiful beyond comparison. Lover of the Lord. Enjoyer of alcoholic beverages with intelligence and restraint. And most importantly, in this particular case, a kitten lover! She has waved a flag, and opened the front door of her home to me with such selflessness. Oso and I couldn't have asked for a better roof over our fuzzy heads. I am excited to grow in my friendship with this lovely lady, and to continue growing in the understanding of God's graciousness and provision. Never once has He left me on a street corner, using a cardboard box for housing or a sign, instead of packing. For that I am eternally thankful. He has blessed me with a spirit of adventure and a personality ready to adapt to any change presented before it. I am ready to embrace this new twist in my life, with arms held high!
