MOVING CONTINUES
it’s almost over. i’m so tired i just feel like giving everything away at this point. i’m tired of trying to figure out how to put things in the crates so we make the most out of the space, and i’m thinking and wondering about the future. what is God up to? meanwhile i’ll continue to pray and hope i learn the right lessons. i big thanks to everyone, for your prayers, and to all who have emailed, called, commented or caught me on ichat . here are some pics of the last three days:
james and linda
patty and stevie
the insight girls
evelyn taking some food home
insight girls deflating my exercise balls
strong guys packing the crates - please come back, alex and i are going to kill each other trying to figure out the best way to pack the darn crates =(
dean and dave loading some stuff on dave’s truck for storage (our sofa didn’t fit in the crates). dean also took all my animals to staci joy’s home.
taking a break to eat some pizza - later we grilled steaks and veggies… yum!
i don’t have a pic of john caterson but he was here too… thanks john =)
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR COMING TO HELP US DO THIS. IT’S BEEN A LOT BETTER BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN HERE.

Niza -
Actually, I got to keep the fish! I love them. I love the gentle sound of the water. You may have to fight me to get them back … you know, possession is nine tenths of the law! (hahahaha I am just kidding). But, I am glad that we get to care for them for a time.
OK, so you will be in Irvine on Friday right? Can you still make it to Jason’s graduation? You guys are welcome to stay the night. We have an extra bedroom for you and Alex and the kids can pile in the living room. We have a futon and a couch and an extra mattress. Let me know!
Love you bunches. Don’t worry! God will take care of you (but you already know that) I love you!

I feel ya, sista! I have been madly giving things away to keep from having to haul it across the country. I now have only one piece of furniture left, and I still have 2 months to go. BTW, I’ll be pulling into Whittier for good on August 4th!!

moving = temporary insanity
i am getting rid of 90% of my belongings this week because i finally realized if they’ve been in storage this long, they must not be essential to our lives. glad you have such a great team of people to help you - moving is stressful no matter what, but it helps so much to have extra hands and laughter around!
hope all the loose ends get tied up..praying for you guys!

you’re moving to CA? WOW! How cool … how did that come about?

We’re not working up as much sweat here in FL, but I hope our prayers are helping… for the move and the house hunt.

Hey hot mama… are you done yet?
Can’t wait to see you next, and to help you move back IN somewhere. The fish are happy with Dean and Tina, and I was going to affirm what Tina said — you are definitely going to have to fight to get them back! The toads hide most of the time and Guacamole is busy getting adjusted to his new surroundings and shedding his skin. They miss you and send their love! I love you too!

Zane absolutely LOVES the Legos. Thanks so much! We build Lego spaceships everyday together. When he saw the mounds of Lego pieces after I left your place, he yelled out ” Oh wow! Lucas ROCKS… he is so cool!!!!” Zane is very appreciative to say the least.

Wish I could have been there to help! —and abscond with some of your incredible stuff! I loooove the way you decorate. Your taste is impeccible.
Miss you woman.
Praying that you know God’s undeniable unexplainable peace as He works His provision in your lives.
I’m living proof He provides—just in case you forget.
BUT So are YOU living proof of His provision. Man, I just think about your story and am encouraged and inspired to continue on this journey.
Such a woman of faith and strength you are! Keep walkin’, baby. We got your back.
Love you!

Niza,
Hope all is well. Mike’s looking forward to getting out there again and hanging out with you guys. Kristen’s a little nervous, though, but I told her she’d be loved immediately. Your family is like that - very hospitable.
I moved over to VOX the other day. No more Xanga, sort of.
Anyway, next time I’m in Cali -

I miss you my darling! I was just thinking of you so I stopped by your site to visit you. It’s not enough though
Guacamole was crying for you today, but I kissed him… and he turned into a prince who asked for my hand in marriage! Not really, too bad… But we all love you!

I’m seeing you all over the city talking smack about the world cup:).
I was wondering how you are doing and if you’re hanging in there with the moving business still.

Hi Niza,
I have listened to the three cuts posted on doSul’s site and liked the sound.
I am interested in the live Vox Café experience and would like to promote one or two to be held Pittsburgh on a monthly experience. Our community has a Soul Café once a month, http://soulcafe.voxtropolis.com/ that would be a great venue to broadcast. I am also interested in broadcasting a general Vox Café experience at a local open microphone that occurs monthly in a music store.
Any tips on how to make this happen?
