It's me, Charity

It's been a roller coaster few weeks (months). Around April i.e. the day my new neighbors moved in. I knew that I did not want to renew my lease when it was up at the end of June. Other neighbors and different situations at my complex reinforced this idea. When I got the paperwork to renew my lease (they automatically send it) and found out that not only was my rent going up but they were adding other charges as well, I knew for sure that I would not be staying at my current location. For a long time I have longed for a house. For a girl that grew up on a farm, town life and especially apartment life, sharing walls with your neighbors, is just not for me. I crave peace and quiet. And not having to run my fan on high year round just to be able to sleep without hearing my neighbor snore. #iwishiwasjoking When I began to look I was determined that I would NOT freak out and trust God through this process. So I began to put feelers out and look on craigslist a few times a wee...

 I am still not feeling well, but have had a few days in the past 3 weeks where I have survived through the day and felt like a member of society. i.e. showered. Pictured above I was excited to sport my super cute treble clef necklace that one of my students made me for christmas!  The rest of the outfit, I texted my skirt to Audra and told her I felt like a Duggar :) But I did feel cute! I suppose it helps that my skirt is TWO SIZES smaller than what I was wearing this time last year!! BOOYAH!!!  On that same day I ran out to Target, of which I had not been to in months. Months people! It was a tragedy! I enjoyed walking around and browsing and found these ADORABLE purses! The pink one was actually so bright I thought it was maybe a bit much. I'm stalking the mint purse and as soon as it's 75% off it will be mine!!  In preparation for my upcoming move I have been cleaning out! I loaded up my truck with bags for Goodwill and was very excited to find ou...

I was all set to write up a post-Easter blog about choosing joy over the first Holiday without my Grams and how emotional it was to realize she was in Heaven with Jesus celebrating his Death and Resurrection IN PERSON. And then... I injured my upper back and neck. And I still have no clue how. What I do know is that for 2 1/2 weeks I suffered from worse than ever before migraines and terrible back pain. I practically lived at my chiropractors. No joke. I would have slept there if they had let me. After my last apt (of 7930487930742) I felt good!  For about a day. And then I got the Stomach Flu. (Or so I thought) It was terrible. After 2 days barfing, fever, and dizziness, I thought I was getting better. And then it came back. Worse than before. Way worse. And then I got to ride in an Ambulance to the emergency room. That was fun. I think.  I don't really know, as I passed out during part of it. The Dr told me I had at least 4 more days of th...
