Life Right Here

E is back in Selma trying to find us a good home, Dakota is still hanging out at the Grove, and I am sitting at home stuffing my mouth with some yummy chocolate.  I get so excited over it and I can’t control myself.  I just dropped some crumbs in my keyboard and tried to lick them out.  Wow.  But I only like the dark, rich, European kind.  You know, the kind that you can’t by in the check out line at the grocery store.  The kind that you can only find at specialty organic stores.  The kind that makes you travel out of your way from work, only to make you late from your lunch break.

But it’s the weekend, right?  And I worked hard today.  Oh E, come home soon!

Since my husband’s brother’s wife (sister-in-law?) is from Germany, I have gotten to taste some fabulous chocolate from over there.  One of my favorite places to go in Koln is the chocolate factory.  Why is theirs so much better than ours?  Here is an amazing German website that I found where you can order little bundles of goodness.

Last night I cried myself to sleep (my husband does not know this).   It’s all coming so fast.  Last night we found someone to take over our lease for our house so we have to be out the beginning of March.  It’s too soon, my heart’s not ready yet.  I was expecting at least the middle of March.

As much as I’m looking forward to all of the good things God has in store for us in Alabama, there are so many people and places and things I will miss in Nashville.  I know we will come back and visit a lot, but it’s still so scary.  Where will we live?  Where will I get my organic groceries?

I know it will all come together perfectly soon.  So until the day come when we will pack up and head down to Selma, I will try to enjoy every last drop of my time left in this lovely city, like tonight’s hockey game with all of our wonderful friends.  I can’t wait to see them tonight.

Maybe I will go out and buy this book today.  Oh, how chocolate makes me feel so much better!  I’ll let you know which recipe I decide to try.
