Up, Up & Aaaaaaa-WAIT!

Saturday Morning, Jan. 4th.....

Today was filled with final preparations and anticipation of a new world adventure. I didn't sense anything going wrong that day, I felt ready. Ready to embark on this new chapter in my book. We were scheduled to fly out at some impossible hour on Sunday morning, and I get a call from the airline on Saturday afternoon stating that my flight from Florida is cancelled! WAIT....WHAT?!?!? I informed my sexy boy toy that we may have been delayed*. With that heavenly smile, he nonchalantly responded, "when can we get on the next flight out, you hot cup of deliciousness" I proceeded to place on my working gloves and cap to got to work. Charged up, I dialed the airline only to be greeted with the most obnoxious and annoying hold music that ignites a rage deep down with every chord.  We continued with our day. Running errands with my sexy beast of a man or Beau for short, we traveled to Costco, Target, and even had lunch with the Peeps, who were amazed at our travel news, only to realize that we were stilll on hold.....

Fastword 2 hours, 20 miles, and countless kisses later......

Finally, a voice appears.....Kim, our last hope, is about to get this work! Man....She didn't even know it.....Ding Ding Ding ......the convo begins...She comes at me with the sweet, how may I help you? attitude...I dodge that and  hit her with a jab.....she comes back with a rerouted flight on Wednesday but we were booked on two seperate flights----I go for the chin.....She bobs and hugs me, completely defusing my attacks and an hour later......We found 2 seats on the same flight for Beua and I with a complementary Economy Plus upgrade leaving at a reasonable time on Wednesday morning. Three days to til the new flight.....What do we do now? #Winning #PeoplesChamp

POSTING! PACKING! PRAYING! SINGAPORE BOUND...

So I'm starting this blog at the beginning of a journey - MY MOVE TO SINGAPORE. In approximately 2 weeks, I'll be saying farewell to my home in Florida and hello to my new pad in paradise. I've got a fabulous opportunity for work. I mean, they're going to pay me to do a job I love and live out one of my dreams - LIFE'S PRETTY SWEET RIGHT NOW!

After a few tearful "see ya laters" from work and some Herculean project close outs....a sista is mentally exhausted. My Beau you ask? He's going to accompany me for the first few weeks - help me get settled, ensure I don't "take any wooden nickels" and join in on the inaugural fun! Unfortunately, he'll have to come back to the Sunshine State to work.

WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO DO before I go...say a few so-longs, PACK & PRAY that everything is in order. Yeah, I have movers, but I'm not moving EVERYTHING I OWN for a temporary move. #Wheredeydothatat? So I have to figure out what stays and what goes. Good problem to have, not my cup of tea! I've resorted to a schedule and a list...and I'm just gone pray about that thang and keep it moving! (I'll keep you posted).

I must say, 2013 has showed up and showed out!  I thought it started out pretty rocky. I've now come to realize, it really started out with God helping me to shed some dead emotional weight to make room for an intimate relationship with Him, an amazing love, fantastic friends and a great family. Amidst my life shifting focus, my vision has only become clearer.  Hold on to your seats as I attempt to chronicle these blessings I call adventures, the moments I view as lessons, and the reflections I recount as testimonies.  #MakingMoves #WishMeLuck #WhereInTheWorld...
