UpDate-o-rama

What has been going on with you Analee? Well.....

Rigby is fine.
Unbelievably the kitten acts like nothing ever happened. Much to my horror he jumps and runs and wrestles with Abbey. I know when I ask him, hey does your leg hurt baby? He says, whatever, and runs away.

School is interesting.
I finished Canterbury tales, hooray! They are pretty awful. Mostly I have to turn in e-journals (mini-essay tests), post a discussion essay, then respond to my classmates discussion posts. The responses have been challenging so to speak. Ask me sometime about how much fun it is to be in a class with boys... and reading Chaucer... cause it isn't...fun...at all.

My move to Abilene is fast approaching.
Only a few more weeks till I make the change to Abilene, which is kinda scary. I didn't get to stay in Houston long enough. I love it here. But I am really excited to get to hang out with Leah, Michael, Mav and Zekie Poo. Also, I got my apartment! YAY! Which is a a super big weight lifted off my shoulders. My mom is making piles of things for me to take up there. (all of my stuff is in storage in Washington) Everything I am taking is going into hospice care, these will be its last few months before... the dump.

David is alright.
I think we have finally hit the fatigue that comes with a deployment of this size. He just wants to come home, he doesn't want to be over there anymore, he misses me and home and the kitties. So if you can spare a couple, just pray that he gets a burst of energy to make it through the last half of this cruise. He was in port not too long ago, so we got to talk. Which was nice because it had been two months since our last conversation and it was time. I have some really exciting news which I can't announce on the blog just yet, for safety reasons, but stay tuned for a fun announcement.

Life is GOOD!
It has been a hard four years of my life but things are good right now. And it blows me away that I am to a happy place. God is good. And there are bumps and dark places in life but God promised a rainbow, and a new day. I am happy to feel happy.


P.S. The birdies have flown the nest. A week after my attack I looked again and they were gone. Fast little learners.

I am so glad that you are in a happy place right now. Life has its ups and downs (as you well know) and it is lovely when you are in a time of peace and contentment. You are so right - God is good. And although that is true all the time - it's especially nice when you can say that with a smile.

Exciting news. Hmmmm...:-) I'll be checking back.

Just checking in to say "hi" and to be sure that Rigby & the birdies are O.K. Glad you're O.K. too. Happy and hopeful--a good way to be. I keep you and your David in my prayers.

Four years? Has it been that long? Seems longer for you although in time it will seem less long although it will always be an important time. I think you and David have both used the time well (time may be spent or redeemed. You have redeemed yours by growing and becoming more.) And you've got a great time coming!

Hope your move to Abilene goes smoothly and that you enjoy your classes and being with family & friends there. I'm so sorry about Chaucer, even we English majors often find him tedious and his earthiness is best taken in small doses away from purile boys.

I'll check back now and then to keep up with you and to learn your news (although I may already know.)

God bless you,
