Back by popular demand

And by "popular demand" I mean that at least 3 people have asked me about the blogging that has not been happening. . .
What can I say, when you live the fast-paced jet setting life that I do, blogging takes a back seat. Please don't ask me to define "fast-paced" or "jet-setting" as it might get embarrassing or cause you to question my grasp on the English language. So, where the heck have I been the past few months? Well, Toto, we ARE in Kansas now. The part of Toto will be played by Murphy.
When Jimmy is finally paroled (as soon as March, as late as October), I feel like he has the best chance of succeeding in his home town. His family is here and they are pretty supportive of him, but still holding him accountable and so on. The town is big enough for a bus system and pretty good job market. We have a church home here that we have missed for almost five years. I could go on, but basically the chance came for me to go ahead and move so I did. My goal was to get myself settled as much as possible before Jimmy arrives. He will be on his own for quite some time when he gets out, but I still wanted my own life to be as stable as I could make it.
So, to Kansas I went. I left behind some great friends, awesome family, and good job. Don't feel too sorry for me though, I have some great friends here (from when we lived here before) and awesome in-laws and found a good job that even pays a bit more than my previous job.
I don't know much more than I ever knew, as far as my marriage and my husband's future decisions go. But I still know the things I knew before that have carried me through all the previous un-knowing. I'm still confident and SURE that God is in control of my life. I know that He will give me peace when my circumstances can not. I know that when I feel sad or frustrated because my life does not look like others' lives or the life that I want it to look like, that God is still holding the paint brush, waiting for me to trust him again and again (and again), so he can make my life look like what he wants it to.
So, that's it. Other than that I'm still living pretty much the same exotic life. Cooking for my family, working working working, hanging with nieces and nephews, enjoying Murphy's many adventures and so on. I will do my best to get my blog on. Please stop your letter-writing campaigns.
Thanks for the love,
