My current existence is filled with boxes, tape, and less furniture. Moving to Jason's home by the end of May to start the road to engagement/marriage. He'll stay with his family most of the time for moral reasons. Gottah get the past behind me, warm up these 'cold-feet' of mine, and move forward with my best-friend (Jason) by my side. Moved the majority of my furniture while we were also moving furniture Jason and I were donating to a family member who lost their home due to the Tornadoes last week. My apartment now sits with only a coffee table, small tv, chair, and bed. I have two closets of stuff and knick-knacks still to pack. Sitting here on the floor using my computer since there is no desk or table anymore. It's kind of freeing to be without major furniture for a while. Keeps things simple while I finish up my packing.
It hit me today that I'm really doing this......I'm really moving to Jason's to jump feet first into things that I fear (for one reason, or another). But that is my life. I fear many things but only realize it was all in my head after I force myself to take a leap of faith. God has given me a peace about this "Move In and Move Forward" as my brother called it. So I guess that is the main thing that matters........God will get me through it like he always tells me He will. Or as Jason tells me when I get worried about the future and all that it brings......Just Keep Swimming.

Sal and His Donate-able Adventures
My little Honda Civic, named Sal (Sal Paradise), was beaming on it's drive home tonight. The trunk and backseat filled to the brim with donated goods from hashers at tonight's VH3 running. It's been such an honor this week to be the 'donate wagon' carrying things from co-workers and running buddies to places that can get it to people in need.
This past week has been a tough one. Even those who weren't directly effected by the 4/27/11 tornadoes can feel the weight of it's destruction. I'm overjoyed almost to tears hearing, reading, and seeing the people of Alabama in action taking care of 'their own'. What an amazing thing to see people set aside their egos and lives for the care of others. "There's hope in this world,"...........that's what Sal would say......."don't give up on the people".
