"something tastes different, suddenly I'm not so young." - Ingrid Michaelson, "Die Alone"

Eighty-four is my favorite number and up until now I had 84 posts. So instead of saying I've been too busy to update this, I'm gonna say that I didn't want to mess with the number of posts. I wanted to keep it at eighty-four. But now....I'm feeling guilty, so here's a new post. Well, it's new if you have not read my Myspace blog or my notes on Facebook. Man, I'm everywhere!

Soooo....lots going on. We have sold the farm. Fast, I know!!! Most days it feels too fast, but it is a good situation...the buyers are really great so far. Well, according to Mom. I haven’t actually met them yet. So....this means ALL of our stuff needs to be off the farm by June 30. I am supposed to be out by May 8....but I’m going to talk to them about that because it’s REALLY soon! I’m excited though, I may be moving to Portland! Visiting Angels has a new office in Gresham and there’s a good chance I could get in...and then I’d already have a job, pretty much my same job...and then I can start looking for what I really want to do. Sooo awesome. I know I said I’d never move to Portland, but that’s because I never had peace about it and the timing was never right. And now it seems like it is, God is really opening doors for me. It’s so amazing!

Dad’s been in the mental hospital in Salem since February 25. I am so happy that he is getting help. It’s really hard for him because he’s bored so much of the time, but in the end it will probably be one of the most important things he’s ever done. I am so excited to get my dad back! I haven’t had fun with this shell of him for the last 3 years or so. As you know.

Mom’s been AMAZING. I’ve always known she’s an awesome lady, but in the last few weeks I have seen her step up and take hold of things with such force I’m just struck with awe! She’s been doing so great with looking for a house for her and Dad. I’m here to back her up, of course, but she’s been doing a great job so far! I am so excited for them! Of course it’s been hard with Dad gone, she misses him so much and so do I, but we know this is for the best. And I’m still here for everyone to lean on. Some amazing friends and family have stepped up for ME to lean on too, which has been soooo great. It’s a fantastic feeling when you get back what you put out!!!!

I am so happy with everything right now!! I can’t really remember a time when I was this happy...it has been a LONG time...and with the semi-traumatic events of last week (severe poison oak allergy, broken tooth, stress of birthday stuff), it’s amazing that I am this happy now!!! God is sooo good!

I hope things are going well in all of your lives! Don’t hesitate to contact me if they aren’t - I am more than happy to pray for you!!! You know this!
