  • Visiting a Mansion

    So you'll never guess what I did on Saturday.......I toured a $20 million mansion in Carmel.  It was incredible!!!  I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to live there.  Here is some information about the house:  The 23,000-square-foot house, built in the mid-1990s, features craftsmanship and quality not often found in modern dwellings, no matter how expensive. The main house has 5 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.  There is a pool house, tennis courts, and a sports palace.  Donald Trump once spent the night in this house.

    Some of the highlights:
    Hand-painted murals that grace walls and ceilings, and a grand staircase that features carved mahogany.  Floors, paneling and trim that are done in mahogany, teak, walnut and knotty pine.  A two-story library, media room with a stage, billiard room, wine "cave," two fitness rooms and an in-house beauty salon/spa.  An indoor lap pool and an outdoor pool with a waterfall.  A sports palace with two bedrooms, his and her locker rooms and an exact replica of the basketball court at Indiana University's Assembly Hall.

    You can see a picture of the house at:  http://www.showhouseindy.com

    Seeing this house makes me all the more excited to see my mansion in heaven!!!

  • The End is Coming

    Well, the process of saying good bye is in full force.  I went to the Quick's house last night for Andrew's birthday and I couldn't help but think I might never see these people again.  It is such a weird thought.  I have several people to say good bye to and several that I already have said good bye.  Every time I say good bye it gets harder and harder.  I'm never good at good byes and I much prefer to say see you later but I'm just not sure when or if I'll see my Indiana friends again.  All this moving stuff is really starting to sink in.

    I have applied for a few jobs in Springfield but so far nothing has come together.  I'm confident that everything is going to fall into place soon.  I'm going to sell my Jeep and that will take a huge financial burden off of me.  Some friends here in Indy have a car that I am planning to buy.  They are giving me a terrific deal and I feel very blessed that they are being so generous.  I'm going to stay with Brandy and Cody for awhile until I get a steady job.  I'm really looking forward to spending time with Brandy.  I've really missed her.

    I think that is all of the updates I have for now so I better get going.  I'll post more as things develop.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!

  • The weekend in Kentucky was just what I needed.  I ended up in Georgetown, KY.  It wasn't a very big town but they did have a small outlet mall and a Japanese friendship garden so I hit both of those.  It was so nice to just do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it.  I got about 12 pages done in my Indiana scrapbook so I felt like I really accomplished something.  I came back on Sunday a different way then I went on Friday.  I could have taken the interstate but I chose a 2 lane road instead so I got to see a lot of countryside and several small towns.  I kept looking for blue grass but I never saw any.  I guess you have to visit in the summer to really see it.  I don't know.  There are tons of horse farms in Kentucky and I'm guessing it is good money because there were some huge houses on these farms. 

    I know it is totally uncharacteristic of me to be random and spontaneous but I was desperate to get out of Indy for awhile.  While I was away, I made a big decision to come back and quit my job.  This has been in process for several weeks but there was never a clear date of when I would be done so I decided to set one and step out in faith.  My plan is to move back to Springfield May 1st.  I'm so excited that I can hardly stand it.  The family didn't take my decision very well.  I hate upsetting people but they will survive and figure out what to do without me.  I am so glad that I took the past year and half and moved out of my comfort zone and away from my family and friends and tried to make it on my own.  I've discovered that I can do it but there really isn't any reason to.  God gave us friends and family and community for a reason.  The devil uses solitary places to feed pride and to try and make us think we can do life by ourselves.  I'm done believing that lie and ready to come home.  I need a job and a place to live in Springfield so if anyone knows of anything feel free to fill me in.  I have enough money to make it awhile and I have a wonderful offer of a place to live on a temporary basis or longer if need be so I know that things will fall into place.  I'm going to miss the twins like crazy and the 3 or 4 friends I have here but I'm ready to close this chapter in my life and move onto the next one.

  • The twins have been sick all week with colds and now ear infections.  Their parents finally broke down and took them to the doctor today.  It upsets me so much that the kids have been miserable all week and we just now take them to the doctor.  No fun!!!

    Last weekend I went to Springfield and had a wonderful time.  I stayed with Cody and Brandy in their new house.  We had a great time!!  I got to see my mom Saturday because my cousin had a wedding shower in Nixa so we went to that together.  It was so fun to just hang out with my mom by ourselves.  Saturday night was a blast!!!!  Cody, Brandy, Elisha, Kaleb, Brian, Tynet, Brandon and myself got to ride around Springfield in a hummer limo.  Talk about good times....I felt so important.  I would post pictures but for some reason I can't get it to work.  Church at Hope on Sunday was awesome.  I needed to just be in God's presence and be assured that everything is going to be ok.  Pastor Gary challenged us to look at all of the things we do have and not focus on what we don't have.  He used the story of the woman and the jar of oil that she used to make enough money to pay her debts and have enough to live on after her husband died.  What an awesome story of the faithfulness of God to always provide for us!!!  I ate at Cheddar's on Sunday...so yummy.

    So I decided to be spontaneous this weekend and go to Kentucky.  One of my life goals is to visit every state.  I use to think I could count a state if I had driven thru it but apparently that's not how the game works.  You have to spend the night in the state for it to count.  So I figured since I'm only a couple of hours from KY why not go this weekend and add a new state to my list.  I'm going to take my scrapbook and get some major work done on it.  I'm so excited to just be alone.  As lonely as I've felt these past few months, I still feel like I need to just have some alone time with God and figure some things out with Him.  I have a basic plan for the next few months but I really want the Lord's guidance so I don't mess anything up trying to do it all on my own.

    Well, I better finish packing so I can hit the road in a few hours.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and do something spontaneous.  It feels so good!!!!!
