FINAL MOVING UPDATE
yes, it’s me, i’m still alive. it’s been a long time since i’ve blogged but a whole lot is going on in our life right now and it’s a bit crazy, so i haven’t felt very inspired to write.
for those of you who might not know yet, we have moved from my beloved california to florida. i’m waiting for my adaptability strength to kick in, but i think it’s on vacation or decided to stay back in cali 
anyway, i’d love to meet all of you voxers, or other bloggers, who live here in FL. leave me a comment, eh? let’s make it happen.
keep dreaming!

Glad you made it safely…looking forward to reconnecting here!

Niza, I remember what you said about your absences from posting when we met briefly at Origins. Praying for a Florida rythm to flow, integration and and a network of lifelines. I will be in West Palm with a couple of great girls in a couple of weeks, email if you’re close, we’ll hook up for lunch and sun

welcome to O-town!
I know you and alex will enjoy. I half believed that mark; keith; and myself were going to be moving you in over last weekend.
I promise, it doesn’t take long to acclimate to this area. O-town has all that LA has with half the hassle of getting there.
when you’re settled in alittle, we’ll all hit the vox cafe’ together (House Blends). looking forward to meeting you.

We miss you, Niza!
But there are lots of fine Floridians out there too, and some of them will appreciate you as much as we do.
Grace and strength to you, Adapta-lady!
September 10th, 2006 at 8:29 am
A Huge Florida Welcome, Niza and Alex! We are so happy to have you here - let us know if you need anything!
September 10th, 2006 at 10:37 am
Wow! I knew you guys were moving out of your house… but I didn’t know you were moving to Florida. Hope all is well and that you are able to adapt quickly. I hope doors will keep opening for your work there.
September 10th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
I was wondering where you were…sent you a text message just a couple of days ago. Just think of it…we’re on the EAST coast together! Hey, when I get cold…I can go visit you and when you get ?
you can come visit me. Hopefully we’ll have a place soon.
September 10th, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Praying you find your feet in Florida, hey we are three hours nearer you!

September 10th, 2006 at 4:24 pm
Meanwhile your California friend is going, “you are gone? you left when? you arrived when? we had goodbye coffee when?”
September 10th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
Niza,
Welcome to the East coast - give it a chance, I think you’ll like it. Plus you’re closer to Boston now, just about a 2 hour plane ride or so. Maybe you can come up with Alex for the Providence stop on the Makers of Fire tour.
September 11th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
It does take some time to acclimate to southern climate. I don’t think I’ve fully gotten used to all the humidity yet….
Once you get settled in I wanna come down and see ya’ll! So find a house quick! And get ready for a Tennessee house guest.
Love you woman! Miss you sooooooo much.
September 11th, 2006 at 5:35 pm
florida, huh?
been going there every year since i was a kid…i’m east coast (chicago now), but we love florida with a passion…we’ll wind up there one day…where are you guys?
September 11th, 2006 at 8:23 pm
Oh Phoooey!!! I logged on to see if you’d done an update on your new location. How can this be?? I hope this was a wonderful move for your family.
I’m going to be in LA in mid November and was hoping for suggestions of activities to see the glorious city you love. Sounds like I won’t run into you at Mosaic. If you have any suggestions for must-see places or must-do activities I’d love to hear them.
God Bless this new adventure!
September 12th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
Niza, Know you are in our prayers. We are “neighbors” as we live in Ga. My husband was at Alex’s conf. in Chatt. TN today—We know it’s a tough time, but know there are those of us who continue to cover you in prayer, elizabeth
September 14th, 2006 at 6:09 am
Wow! Sounds sudden! Lucky Florida!
September 15th, 2006 at 11:22 am
Keep voxing!
I’m sad you won’t be making guest appearances at Mosaic RC, =( but that is what happens when we move away! If you both ever plan on coming up to Mosaic Portland, or anywhere in the northwest, let me know! I’d love to meet up and say hi!! =) Much love

Oh, by the way, I’m sure you’ll enjoy some childhood pics of me I’ve posted in my VOX…!
September 17th, 2006 at 12:40 am
Welcome to Orlando!
I think you are here because the world comes here and the world is on your heart.
September 17th, 2006 at 5:31 am
Hi Niza … we haven’t talked in a week. I miss you. give Dean a BIG hug from me. Call me! I love you
September 17th, 2006 at 6:21 am
Thanks for the update. I’m trying to move as well right now, though it’s down the street and not across the country. Best wishes with the “unpacking blues.” I hope you settle in well and can’t wait to see what God does with the plant and with House Blends. What a life you lead! What an adventure you’re on! I know God has given you all the right strengths to take on each adventure as it comes.
I’d like to come visit at some point to see House Blend; I’ve thought about opening a coffee shop one day.
Anyways, I’ll praying for you to feel settled and happy soon. God bless your new home!

Niza,
I emailed Alex to get your itinerary while you’re here in Providence. My wife would love to get together with you while you’re here - maybe we can all go explore Boston for a day or something like that.
See you soon!
September 24th, 2006 at 6:10 am
keith - exploring boston together sounds like a great idea. we’re arriving in providence on monday 10/2. alex will be flying and i’ll be driving. we’ll see you then
September 24th, 2006 at 10:09 am
Hey Niza,
So much has happened - I’ve been a bit disconnected from the city of voices and feel like I’ve missed your journey. I can’t wait to see you in Feb. So excited! Our new Mosaic Sheffield Team member’s parents live in Orlando - so many random connections.
Praying for you to find your feet. Happy travels. You’re living an adventure!!
September 24th, 2006 at 11:26 am

September 28th, 2006 at 4:10 am
Niza,
We had so much fun with you guys! Please come back. We will get our “Indian Summer”. It’s chilly this week, but the leaves are changing, so the colors are going to be brilliant in another week or two.
The fishing’s still good!
October 1st, 2006 at 6:52 am
Hi Niza … I posted this comment under my “Missing Dean and My New Fitness Goals” post. But, I don’t think you were subscribed so I will repost it here….
———————
Hi my beautiful Niza. How are you? Well, our guys are off again to make fire!!! So what are you doing without Alex? I miss Dean and he hasn’t been able to call much this trip. I guess they are super busy =(
So, what have you been up to? find a place yet?
New York was fabulous. I am going to write a new blog this morning and post some pics from the trip.
I miss you so much. The house isn’t the same without my sweet friends around.
I still have the fish although the frog died and so did one other fish. The rest are doing good. I replaced the light and bought new food so I will keep them as long as I can. They will probably eventually end up with Jason and Chrissy’s friend, Matt. He has lots of fish and will be glad to take them off my hands. When that happens I will be sure to get the tank to Ev.
Call me. I love you!
October 1st, 2006 at 2:55 pm
i miss you, love you and maybe one day can make it to florida!!! can you email me your new address? i’d like to send yall something!!!
October 1st, 2006 at 4:33 pm
beth - i miss you guys. you sure are a fun bunch, the fishing was fun too. wish we had caught a big one to cook it up… sorry mike, but we like eating what we catch
tina - hey girl, i saw your response comment today when i wrote my comment on your NY post. you are so sweet, miss you so much too. i’m in pennsylvania right now. tomorrow i make my way to meet the guys in providence… i’m so excited. the drive from FL up to here is just amazingly beautiful.
anne - halo my friend, whatup? i would love for you guys to come see us in FL. i would love to email you an address but we’re still living in hotels. i’ll let you know ASAP when we get a home. luv ya… muah!
October 4th, 2006 at 2:31 am
….niza….home now…..wish we had planned more time in providence with you all….i hated to leave, and not because i missed RI, but because i was enjoying our time with you guys…….we will probably see you in orlando in feb…..luv ya…..
October 4th, 2006 at 7:09 am
Niza really praying for you guys, its hard on the family not being settled, we were so glad when we finally got a home and could move from 2 rooms at Ann’s dad’s house.
October 5th, 2006 at 4:00 am
Hi Niza!
My daughter Meaghan and her husband, Tim were in Providence this week and enjoyed the conference. They’re hoping to go to Orlando for more

Niza!!!! I miss you too!!!!! Life is full… Jenna and Holly and I moved in to our new apartment and we’ve been “setting up house,� hanging art, and initiating guests. Have you found a place yet? I heard rumors of other distant locations… keep me posted as I want to come too! How are you? I love you and miss you. I will come visit you…
October 6th, 2006 at 4:29 pm
Hey Niza,
Praying that God leads you to the right home soon and that you’ll be able to settle in quickly. I know it’s not easy living out of suitcases with all your stuff boxed up! Met Alex in Chattanooga a few weeks ago… he and Dean are a great team. Elizabeth and I are looking forward to meeting you at Humana.
