My Ships A Sailin...(A Few Thoughts)

Three more days and I'm off to Chattanooga! The nervousness is setting in...finally. I've filled a spare bedroom with home accessories, kitchen supplies and clothes. My next project is packing it all. I've come to realize that I hate packing with a severe passion, which is unfortunate because that is all I will be doing in my next life in Chatty. My brother will be in for a real treat in seeing what all I CAN'T do! (or maybe it will be ME who's in for the surprise!) The stress is building quickly, however, I do have something special to look forward to. John's company is currently working on Payton Manning's house in Chattanooga, due to a flood. So instead of a week of getting acquainted with my new town, I will be starting early in cleaning up Manning's house! John was sure to tell me that not all jobs would be like this, in being famous football players! I have high hopes for my next chapter, in getting involved in a church down there, starting fresh, eating healthy, and being with my niece and nephews. I regret that I will not get to see my Caden, Chase and New Baby Haustein, but I am sure that I will be making a few trips to Columbia! This past Sunday, Caden, Chase and David and Sandi came up for a day, while we got to watch the kids. We took Caden to see the VeggieTales movie, and he had never been to a theatre before. He responded, "It was the biggest movie I'd ever seen in the world!" Those two never seize to amaze me. I'm working on getting Chasers to say "Bebe". I've convinced myself that he is saying it, in the midst of the "Bleh", always said with a smile. I am such a proud aunt!

They definitely love you, Bren. We are proud of you and know that you are going to do great in Chattanooga -- look at it as an adventure with God! Something new, just you and Him with Him guiding and you experiencing and following. We're going to miss you.
