Moving...again!!

So I've made the big announcement about my parents move. Well, to save money, I will be moving in with them for awhile, too. Pray for all of us. We haven't lived together in 14 years. HA!! I'm just messing around, I love my parents to pieces, and it will be nice having "someone" there when I come home from work. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy "my" time, and living alone, most of the time, but every now and then it would be nice to come home and have someone to talk to. So it will be really nice to come home from work, and have someone there. I feel like ALL I do is move. Ever since college, it has been "on the move Jewels". I moved from Illinois to Arkansas for college, after that I moved from Arkansas to Florida, stayed there 2 years, then moved from Florida to Tennessee where I have been since 2002. I don't plan to move to another state anymore, but in the time span of living here 6, going on 7, years, I have a moved to different places around town a total of 4 times, and now this will be my 5th move. I have become a pro at packing and unpacking boxes. And of course, I know this move to mom and dad's is not my FINAL one because I'm only staying with them to save money so I can (hopefully) buy my own place, eventually. I never dreamed my life would be so crazy at age 35. Funny how you have plans for your life, but God has different ones. Funny how the world is different today, I think back on my grandparents who married at ages 18 and 19, bought a house and started a family. Now days, some people wait to get married til' they are 40 or older. Which I don't think is a half bad idea when I see how miserable most people are in their marriages in their 20's and 30's. I know to some, they can't understand why I have chosen the "single life" or "why don't you find someone?" And to those of you who have great marriages, God bless you, but please don't condemn those of us who choose not to marry early in life. :-) People are just different, some of us don't want to be "tied down", and if you haven't looked around lately, dating is NOT easy in this day and age. Well, I'm getting on a whole other subject. :-) All this to say is that I will be moving, yet again, in about a month. Please pray for this transition to go smoothly for my parents, it's a HUGE decision, and we are all excited, and nervous at the same time! Thanks so much!! Have a blessed day!
