Metamorphosis: a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism. We are in the middle, waiting to see what we become.
One week and counting and I am starting to get a tad panicky. I reserved our rental truck and bought plane tickets back to Utah for our moving helpers, so that's good. However, I still don't have a job (no one has even called me about all the ones I applied for, talk about a self-esteem crusher) and we don't even have a house to move into yet. Yikes! We are working with a real estate/property management agent who is sifting through the good neighborhoods for a decent place to live in our price range. He just called and it sounds like an extra miracle might be needed to get where we need to be.
My house is still a disaster and I seriously don't know how it will get all packed up. Why do we have so much stuff and where did it all come from?! I think I need to blame all those really nice people who gave us wedding presents.
On top of all those worries, I have two weddings to decorate this weekend. Yes, I know, you can say it out loud: I am a moron. Hopefully they go better than the one did last weekend (I almost ruined this girl's wedding day....for real).
Oh well. If nothing else, my life will be really interesting for the next few weeks.

A Step Into the Darkness
I am a chicken.
I quit my job on Friday. I sent my boss an email putting in my two weeks notice and now I am terrified to go to work in the morning. I have no idea how my boss will react and I am afraid of how my coworkers will treat me the next few weeks. My only ally has gone and so I am left alone to face the wolves.
I am also terrified about the future. I always have a difficult time with transition and major change. I don't like not knowing the next step in my journey. I have always been afraid of the dark, and this has required me to step out of my comfortable light into uncertainty.
I don't know where I am going, but I think I will be spending most of the next few weeks in meditation, trying to decide the direction of my next step.
"When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be solid ground to stand on or you will be taught to fly."

A New Adventure
Today I decided that I tend to seek after adventure. Just anticipating doing something new thrills my inner child. My good friend Al has introduced me to my latest adventure, catering. I have decided that this might be something that I can actually do and enjoy doing. Al even gave me a name for my business. When she brought it up I'm sure she had no idea what a whirlwind of excitement it would cause. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with any patience, so I want everything to happen NOW. I want to buy a place for my business NOW. I want to start advertising NOW and I want to start cooking NOW. I still don't even know if it's even possible but I'm excited to take the ride. Wish me luck, maybe someday I will make something of myself.
