(So, it's not October 3rd...The thought was there, the action was not)
I will open this blog by telling you of my current surroundings. I am sitting in my, otherwise vacant, living room. Fuzz, my very large cat, is sitting to my left and Captain, my very old dog, is sitting to my right. I should have no worries, I am safe and sound. Yet, I sit here and find myself uncertain of the future. I have so many worries that, as a Christian, I feel ashamed. I make every effort to be encouraging to others and yet I find little motivation to be encouraging to myself. I feel as though I missed a chapter in my book and it has since become impossible to turn the pages back.
It has been a year since I've done a full update so, I will do my best to divulge. I am still enrolled in college and I'm hoping to graduate next year. After that, who knows what will happen. Eugene and I will be celebrating our third wedding anniversary on the 21st, still no children. For my anniversary gift, he is purchasing annual passes to Disney (he's not very good at keeping a secret). For his gift, I bought a very nice study bible and had it personalized with his name. It's beautiful and it keeps with the tradition of giving something leather for the third wedding anniversary. I'm shocked that he did not keep with this tradition as, he is the one that has taught me everything I know about this junk.
My sister [Sarah] moved to Florida with my nieces [Marian and Kaytlin]. This has been a blessing in the wake of a sadness. Unfortunately, Sarah's marriage of 13 years was dissolved for several reasons that I will not list. I will say that the dissolution of any marriage is a tragedy in that, it was at one point unexpected and unwanted. Regardless of the circumstances, I am appreciative of the opportunity to be a part of Sarah's and the girls' lives.
In light of Sarah moving in with our mother, April is moving in with Eugene and I. Today, she began prepping her new bedroom for a fresh paint job. April will be bringing Cat (that's his actual name) with her, making our grand total of cats, in the Cusie (& Frazier) household, 4! Four cats and three dogs...
My mother is in good health, she is a blessing each and everyday. I understand that losing a parent is difficult and letting her go, when her time eventually comes, will be devastating. So, I thank God everyday that I can call her or see her whenever I want to.
