Good thing I like change.

So I've been up since a little after 4am, I couldn't sleep because today Doug and I are taking my grandma's dog to her new home... you'd think because she is technically not my dog, that I wouldn't be such a mess, but think again. It's funny because I know the home she is going to, and I know that she will be spoiled rotten, it's just always hard giving away a pet... especially one that likes to sleep in your bed most of the time! lol! :) But it's really for the best.

As far as my mom and Doug go... they are moving THIS weekend to Arkansas... holy cow, time is flying! Once they get moved in then I will go down and stay with them until I find a job and can get back on my own two feet! God is still working in me about moving to backwoodsy Arkansas but I really do think it's where he is leading me and I think that when you tell him, "I'll go where-ever you want me to be" you kind of have to actually go! ha! After I get down there then my grandma will put her house up for sale and will not be far behind... so LOTS and LOTS of changes about to happen in the next few months. Trusting in God's plan and looking forward to another chapter in my ever changing life. Good thing I like change. :)

Alrighty, well, off to Tulsa with Doug then to Skiatook to drop off some things at Doug's parents then back home... a quick trip none the less! :) Hoping to get to Tulsa very soon to see a few friends and catch up before I head to Arkansas.

I know you will be sitting on pins and needles waiting for my next exciting update! hahaha!
Hope you guys have a great rest of the week!

Hot Springs, AR

Well, Doug got a job in Hot Springs, AR so we've spent the last week trying to finalize things for them... getting a rental house, then them being called and informed that the rental property they had put their deposit on was not going to be ready for rent for another month! So they are back to the grind trying to find something, and fast! Hot Springs has little rental properties that are available and the ones that are available are pretty bad and would not nearly hold all of their stuff! But closing day on their current house is fast approaching, 2 weeks to the day, which leaves not much time to mess around. My mom has pretty much got the house packed up and ready to go... The sooner they find a place to rent, the sooner they will be able to move and hopefully not be so rushed when it comes to Feb. 4th! For myself, I'm not sure where God is leading me... the thought of moving to backwoodsy, hillbilly, laid back Arkansas is really not my idea of a good time but I am trying to be open to where God wants me to be. I've always pictured myself in a more fast paced town... one that I don't have to take motionsickness pills everyday just to go from one end of the town to the other. I'm praying that if Hot Springs is where I'm suppose to be that God will change my mind about it, until then I will be staying in OKC until my grandma is ready to sell her house in the next few months and move to Arkansas.
Please be praying for my family, pray that my mom and Doug would find a place to live and everything would fall into place there, pray that God would show me exactly where he wants me to be and that I'd be open to it! :) Pray that when the time is right my grandma would be able to sell her house and find a new one in AR and pray that I would figure out where I am going and find a job, sooner rather than later! Clearly God's timing and mine are a little off! ha!

I hope everyone is having a great week and that your weekend is fabulous as well! I'll update soon!

A new year and lots of new changes await.

Well, I took a little break from blogging... honestly just didn't have much to say, not sure I really do now either, but I figure I might as well start the new year with a blog post... lots is happening right now and in the same sentence, nothing is happening. I'm sure that doesn't make any sense but maybe I can explain.

I'm still unemployed, and trying to figure out what I should do. In November my step-dad lost his job (it's a very complicated story and one far more personal than I should share on this blog) needless to say, he's been looking for a job ALL over the U.S.! My parents put their house up for sale and they got a contract on it this week... not sure where they will be moving but also know that God has a perfect plan and will open all the doors when the time is right. With them undoubtedly moving, that leaves my grandma and I here in OKC, for now anyways. She will be putting her house up for sale as soon as my mom and Doug figure out where they are moving. Which also means I will be moving again as well, but I must say, I am excited! It's been a little over a year since I moved to OKC and I'm not sure it was far enough away, I need a fresh start... a new chapter that is an adventure all in the same. I'm ready for a new place, a new job, a new beginning in some way, I guess. I am ready to try somethings I never have before! I'm ready for 2011! :)

Grandma is doing better, well, breathing a little better... She has returned to work half days and that pretty much wears her out! We go back to the doctor in about 2 weeks to see what the next step is for her (health wise) and hoping for some answers!

As for me and my pups, we are good... like I said, trying to figure out what to do... seeking answers and trusting God will provide.

I hope everyones 2011 has started out great! May this year be one like none other and may God bless you in ways you never thought he would!!!

I can't say I'll be back to posting more often but I'll try to keep y'all updated on where this year takes us! Happy 2011!!!
