a new adventure

in the fashion of kely and the deeren's, i've decided to create my own blog as a means for folks to see what i'm up to outside of the mitten. i'm making it a goal to post something weekly, but i'm not certain there will really be anything of interest to write. (i.e. i ate oatmeal for breakfast...)
however, you can still call (same number), e-mail (same e-mail) and write (new address, mentioned in "moved" e-mail) as you please. (please?!)

i'm now a charlotte, nc resident. wow. another move underfoot and a new adventure to be had. nothing is unpacked yet, and i look forward to the times when i can simply open the cupboard door to get a glass or sit down to write a letter without having to first dig through five boxes to see where i placed the stationary. not to mention not having to climb over and through the maze of boxes that are currently residing in every room...
i'm also looking forward to being settled in a way i'm not sure i've ever really been. i will be setting up an art space for myself with all things being organized so when creativity (and free time) emerges i will have everything waiting and ready to be used. (not in a box, waiting to be moved...again.)

it will take a bit of time before i am at that place, but i'm willing and thankful to take the neccessary roads of struggle to arrive a more organized, disciplined person.

Very Nice Jessica. I actually do know what a blog is, but thanks for explaining it out for everybody else (like your grandparents). Dick has several niece's and nephew's who also have their own blogs so we can keep up on what their doing too.

I'll be looking forward to your next update. How about adding some pictures of your house and yard.

Good luck and have fun on your NEW job. Keep those grades up!!!

Love,
Mom

Glad to see you're moving onward and upward! Will think of you from time to time and now know what to pray for! Watch out for that southern accent! Anything south of Northern Ohio, and next thing you know a little twang sets in! But at least Raymond will be able to interpret for all of us here in "the mitten". Take care of yourself! Proverbs 3:5-6 Your friend, Susan

Boxes in the attic? You have boxes in my basement too! Remember when you graduated from high school you were going to have a bonfire to burn all those school papers in some of those boxes? I think you just like boxes. You liked to play in them when you were little, you just never gave them up.

On another note. I'm glad your enjoying the south and your job.

Have you ever thought about some type of writing as a career? Just a thought.

I will await your next "School
House Story Hour"

Love,
Mom
