It’s been two weeks and two days and I’m moving…again. I’m in the troughs of a battle with ResLife here at ASU to receive the final word on the release from my contract. I’m sitting in the Coors building, at the Computing Commons, waiting for my phone to ring. It’s 3:28pm. At 4:00 I am no longer waiting but just walking over there and going to see someone. I want out, now. Actually, I wanted out the moment I walked into the apartment. But I gave it a chance; I tried to make it work. It simply wouldn’t have - there was no way. I would have wound up in the hospital. I’m aggravated today. Not to mention getting a sore throat and systems of a sinus infection. As a matter of fact, most of the days I’ve been here, in my new home town, I have been more angry than anything else. Most of you know how much I love being angry.
Really, I have no reason to be angry. God has shown up in incredible ways through this whole ordeal. I’ve been reminded constantly that He is in charge. That He does have a plan, that he does want me here. By here I mean at ASU, in graduate school, and in this vulnerable emotional and spiritual place I find each time I look in the mirror. I have, more than once, been ready to throw the towel in on school because I’m already so far behind I don’t feel like I’ll ever get caught up. But He clearly said no. I am to stay here and I believe He is about his “Godways” of making provisions for me to be able to do so. I will explain more when I can. Now I have to go take care of my housing situation so that I can get moved into my new condo. That is “Godways” story I cannot wait to have time to tell.
Just an FYI for all you concerned readers (ehm, Emily Kerous..) I do not have Internet access right now. Updates will be infrequent until then.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"

Ms. Katy,
I LOVE it when someone mentions my name. I think I was meant for a life of politics ;-)
Anyway, I'm glad you are out of this mess. Good for yoU!
