It's been 400 days since "The Great Exit." There's no turning back now. At the very least I'll be here 5 years (terms of the down payment assistance). Truthfully, my heart is full and there is no urgency to look elsewhere at the moment. This summer many significant events have taken place....
*Judith and Yolanda came into my home, cooked dinner and dessert, served me and cleaned up. What a treat!
**Allie and I went to Austin to see comedian Kev On Stage along with EJ Speaks and listen to spoken word. Inspiring and hilarious!
***My mom, Charles and Imaunii have been to visit. And Naysia came back home. The visit was a relaxing one. Most of our days were spent at Old Faithful, either working, watching movies or sitting outside. The Monday they were here I hosted a small dinner party. Some friends came over to meet my family.
****In the same week we witnessed an eclipse and Hurricane Harvey ravaged my new home state. And for the first time in my life disaster preparedness was a very real thing!
*****Survived a made up gas shortage
Folks has been asking why is the blog coming to an end?
It's been fun, but time consuming. I spend most days trying to examine every single detail with the thought that whatever I'm doing could become an entry. I think, at times, I haven't been able to just enjoy for sake of documenting it. Perhaps if something life changing takes place I'll write about it. But for now I want to bask in the moments to come.
So what's next??
I need to focus on my career, health and my role at Pearl Street Church. I also need to hunker down with Tenaysia as she works on her life plans as an adult. I'm hoping to travel later this year or early next year to see my family, get back into writing my pen pals, and bake more. I'm planning on some low key gatherings at Old Faithful. And of course continue to explore this great state and tackle some home improvement projects. Who knows...mayhap I'll even meet the man God has set aside for me.
Thank you for tuning in as we've come to know this city, make friends, and live life. There is still much to learn and see and so many of you who've yet to visit. I look forward to hosting you. In the meantime, keep us in your prayers and catch us on social media.
With Love,
