I’M MOVING!!…and other ramblings

I’m moving back to Conway at the end of this month!!

My mom and her boyfriend, Bill, are moving in together…which means that I’ll be moving with them. It is such a blessing that we found this house. We’ve been looking for a while now and just couldn’t find anything that met all of the things we needed in a house. Well, a couple of days ago we finally found the perfect house to move in to. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a huge living room and huge den, a sun porch, and a two car garage. It’s in a pretty nice neighborhood with lots of huge oak trees…and we have a nice fenced in back yard with a tall privacy fence. Plus, I get my own room..so that makes me happy, too! I love it already. This house has got to be the nicest house we’ve ever lived in.

I’m still restless. but I think even the small move is going to help.

i think that i’ve pretty much made up my mind on where i want to end up by the end of this year. for some reason or another i feel really called to move to Murfreesboro, TN. I have a few friends that live there. One of them being one of my best friends from church camp and her family. but i don’t think that’s the main reason behind me wanting to move out there. sometimes things are just put on my heart and i never really know why…i guess it’s just a God thing. Moving to Tennessee is one of those things. i put it down as a God thing.

this move is definitely a good thing for me. the only semi-bad thing about it is that i will most likely end up having to quit my job here in Greenbrier. they really don’t pay me enough to make it worth commuting…plus, i’ve gotten to the point where i’ve started asking myself why i keep working there..and i don’t really like the answer i give myself. when i started working at the daycare, i loved it. but now, the stress of the job is starting to take its toll on me. i absolutely love the kids there…well, most of them anyway…quite a few of them are down-right monsters..and won’t ever listen to me. i’m tired of feeling like i have absolutely no authority..even when i’m the one in charge. my director, America, already knows that i will probably be quitting sometime soon. as soon as she found out that i was moving she acted upset about it. i told her i would keep working there as long as i could..but since it’s my mom’s vehicle, i didn’t know how long that would be. i can tell that i’m going to be missed. and i have to admit, i am going to miss working there…but i knew from the start that i wasn’t going to be working there for a really long time. i have some really great co-workers, an amazing director, and probably the best boss you could ask for….and don’t even get me started on some of the kids there. i think more than anything that’s what i’m going to miss the most. the kids.

right now, i’m thinking that i’ll keep working through June 5th or so..which is when we have to be moved out of our current house by. i’ve already requested June 9-13 off of work so that i can work at my church camp for a week…so i may just put my two weeks notice in for the end of the 1st week of June…that way i won’t have to be gone, then come back and quit. i’ve been trying to work it out so that i could go out to Murfreesboro to visit my best friend, Emily, for a little while…and so far every time we’ve tried, things have just not worked out. Her and her family are going to be in Arkansas for a couple of weeks in the middle of June, and I think I may try to just go back with them for a week (or maybe even two) when they head back to Tennessee. I’m seriously wanting to move out there…and it will do me some good to go out there and get a feel for the place first. I’ve talked it over with my mom a little..and she seemed pretty ok with it…surprisingly.

ok, enough of my fragmented and rambling thoughts for tonight. i’ll be awake with these thoughts still tumbling around in my head for some time now…so i guess i better get started on trying to get to sleep.
