I'm a little nervous for you telling them in person. I hope it all goes well. If you do have to leave right away, take all your kitties with you, ok? We'll all be glad when this is over and you start your new and happy life. You've been down a long road and now it's time for a different journey. Hopefully one that brings you peace and happiness.
Kelly, I will be praying for you too. I am very proud of your thoughtful consideration of how best to handle this. {{{hugs}}}Quote:

She finally called me at 3:00 p.m., the time I asked if we could BE THERE at. Oh well...I guess she left her cell phone somewhere and didn't have access to it. She said she didn't realize it until she saw the time and knew I'd be coming in the afternoon. Oh well.
We're meeting Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the apartment so she can give me a key. Then it wont matter if she's there or not.
My brother was actually a good sport about everything. So that's nice. He was right, you all were right, I need to tell my parents. I wouldn't be proud of myself if I didn't. So, now I have a week of nerves on edge until I talk to them on Friday. I'm going to be praying HARD for God to help me with this, there is NO WAY I'd be able to do it alone. So your prayers (Thank you to your church, Karen! That's so kind/sweet of you!) are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!! :D
I'm thinking that if Friday doesn't go very well, I'll pick up my Micah from CiCi's house on the way to my new place. That is 2/1/08, so its OK for me to move in then. Then Micah and I will have a campout! YAY! :)
I'll keep you all updated. ALL the prayers you can offer will certainly help. I just need calm and clarity...and prayers they will recieve me.
Hugs, Kelly and kits
XOXOXOXOXOX
Good thoughts coming your way and prayers already said for you to find the right words and thing be peaceful for you.
Update:
This evening I met Kristin at the apartment - our apartment, YAY! - to pickup MY KEY!!! YAY!!! Its nearly official!!!!! :D
I got my address change request from the post office at lunch on Monday and got my new address from Kristin this evening. I'll fill this out and drop it off at my local post office tomorrow. I've already changed my address for my spousal support check, but haven't gotten a confirmation...I changed that one to CiCi's address. Maybe I'll just call them tomorrow and give them my new address so its done for good. "Note to self..." ;)
I got a surprise when I got to the apartment. Her name is "Darling"! I guess Kristin's friend got a bunny wabbit and either couldn't keep it in her current living situation, or something like that. Either way, it looks like we may have a BUNNY!!! I'm sooooo excited as I miss Faith and Thomas sooo much! Darling is just a tiny thing, well, more "little" than tiny. She's VERY sweet and is learning to come to you when you call her - while she out romping. Normally she's in her Bunny Condo when Kristin isn't there. Luckily Noah and Basie where raised with bunnies, huh? (Darling's condo is kept in Kristin's room, btw.)
Here are 2 pictures of what Darling looks like:

Plans are: Kevin and I are going to try and move in my stuff from the storage one day this week (after work)...and then continue Saturday or Sunday. Now that I have my key, it shouldn't be a problem.
I'll keep you all updated.
Pls continue with your wonderful prayers that I have the right words, that God calms my mom and opens her heart and ears to what I have to say...and that it all gets overwith soon! My tummy has been hurting way too much over this!
Hugs, Kelly :)
awww Darling sure fits her name! :D
fingers crossed for a smooth transition!
You are in our prayers - and if there's a bunny involved, well, that's even better! Give her a raisin from me, okay?
Kelly, I hope that everything goes smoothly and I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Darling sure is a cutie pie. I'm so glad to hear that your new roommate is an animal lover.:)
You go girl, all the best dear kelly, gosh darling is gorgeous isn't she? i will be thinking of you and hoping everything goes nice and smoothly. HUGS :)
This time next week you will be in your new home!!!
Cute little bunny :D
I'm so excited for you.
Keep your eye on the prize and remember that you have every right to claim your life and ability to function as an independent adult. You are not making this move to hurt anyone. You are making it as a necessary step to being responsible and self-supporting. You are trying to make good choices for yourself. You obviously appreciate the help, love and assistance of everyone who has been there for you in the past and you will also appreciate their emotional support too as you continue on your journey. Give yourself a little pep talk, girl. One way to find the right things to say is to be confident in your right to do this.
I just was thinking that maybe you could write out what you want to say and then read it to your mom. That way you could edit, rewrite, etc. until you get it just the way you feel comfortable with it.
I keep hoping and praying that all goes well for you!! Wish I lived closer because I'd help you move in a heartbeat. I really hope this goes smoothly for you and your mom doesn't give you too much of a hassle. I so know what moms can be like when they are defensive.
Two more days till Feb. 1st!!!!! I'm so excited for you!
Kelly, it sounds like things are going good for you. That's awesome!! I just know that your talk with your mom will be difficult for you, but it is something that needs to be done. After it's all said and done, you will feel better about it. I hope that your mom understands and doesn't get angry.
I am so excited for you!! :D :D I can't wait to see pictures of you and your kitties all together again. :)
I think it would be a good idea to write down what you're going to say, too. I hope it goes well for you. And Darling is just, well darling! What an adorable bun bun. Also, I had a more than decent tax return so later today, I'm going to share the joy and pay some more on Noah's bill. We all will be so happy to see you with all your kitties on your own bed :)
Congrats! Darling is well... darling! :D
