I'm just a rolling stone...



Well, Kittens, it's been more than a month of living like a gypsy.  Personal note: Living like a gypsy - not on my top ten things to do again.  Let's be clear, we are living with great people who have a beautiful house and have bent over backwards to make us feel welcome.  We are SO blessed.  What makes it so ”difficult" is going back and forth the last few weekends and packing.  I am tired.  TIRED.  T-I-R-E-D.   The silver lining?  It is nearly over.  YES!!  This weekend is the last one in Fayetteville - can I get an AMEN?? We are moving everything into storage in Tulsa on Saturday.  Basically, Friday is final push for me to finish the packing of the breakables – which I am convinced are like gremlins and are reproducing because someone is feeding them after midnight.  Every time I think I have them all corralled – there are just MORE things to pack.  Saturday is the “big one”.  Thankfully, I have good friends and family that are willing to help! Everything will be stuffed into a storage building for two weeks.  That’s right, you read that correctly.  Two weeks.  Then, get another truck and load it and unload into our rental house.  I signed a two year lease because I didn’t want to move again.  SO. SICK. OF. MOVING.

On the bright side, it is a totally cute retro house with lots of charm.  I will really enjoy making it prettier and enjoying the space.

This post is coming of as a little frenetic in nature, but that is because I am in total adrenaline mode. 
One more time, let’s be clear, we are so blessed.  We are able to have good jobs, we found a pretty place to live, a very nice oasis in the chaos to land.  I am grateful for all that the Lord has given me and I am grateful for all the craziness that has ensued to bring us to this point.  It was a long and winding road that has brought us back to Tulsa but I am grateful for it.  

Homeless for 2.5 weeks, but happy,
Queen Marie
