I haven't slowed down yet...

Life hasn't stopped moving at a rapid pace just because I've changed locations. Having barely arrived in Florida, I attended a literary club meeting, lost my cat, went to a job interview, unpacked, cleaned house, had a party, searched for jobs, found my cat, and am having a guest for dinner tonight....Whew! I think we're volunteering at a booth for the upcoming Watermelon Festival this weekend, also.

I will be so glad when I've found a job and settle into some sort of routine. The Lord has been really good to us, though. We safely drove down from Tennessee to Florida on Monday and Tuesday of last week, with the only detrimental effects being the millions of dead love bugs plastered all over my car and one slightly drunk kitty.

Can I just pause for a moment and sing the praises of the wonderful feline traveling aid known as "Calm Down Kitty"? It is marvelous. At some point during the trip, I even threatened to administer some Calm Down Kitty to my nervous passenger (my husband)! We had so many laughs over silly things during the trip down. This was our first long car ride together, and we had NO disputes over the temperature of the car! It was amazing. I did, however, learn that my husband is grateful that he thinks Red Bull tastes like "cranberry-flavored goat piss," as he thinks it is overpriced. He is probably right. About the price, that is. I happen to dig the taste of Red Bull.

We are settling into our life together, learning each other's nuances and pet peeves. Any differences we encounter, I happily report that we resolve them quickly. My breath still catches as I think about how blessed and loved I am. My heart overflows with love and affection for my husband. Although we are still moving at a rapid pace to get me accustomed to my new life in Arcadia, our love remains constant.
