Friday the 13th

Can you figure out what the picture is?? That's Harley laying upside down on the couch at 5am on Friday the 13th. I awoke very early that morning to heaving noises and found a sick dog out in our hallway. He immediately ran downstairs to the couch and was found in this position, passed out and completely exhausted. As irritated as I was to be taking a picture at 5am, I couldn't resist the opportunity. And once again his cuteness enabled me to somehow find forgiveness in the depths of my coffee-depriven self.

I knew something was bound to go awry after a morning like that. Turns out I probably should have waited to break the news to work about my future plans to move to Columbus. Around 4pm I was called into my boss's office and told I was being let go. He was very apologetic and somehow all I could think to say was the truth: If I had been in his shoes I would have done the same thing. It just made sense.

As I was sitting in his office light bulbs started going off. All of my prayers were being answered (of course in a way I never saw coming!). Luke and I have been struggling with being apart. Now I have no reason to stay in Indy! I've been concerned about what to do with Sheeba. The apartment Luke is in won't accept her, not to mention she's 14 and can't handle another move - especially to a place with no dog door to go outside 50 billion times a day! Luke's dad volunteered to take her in. Vicki is home all day and will be able to let her out whenever needed.

I'll be moving to Columbus during our open house (http://www.mibor.com/ MLS# 2906398) this coming Sunday. After I get settled in, I expect the job floodgates to open and for people to be calling ME looking for a dependable, hard-working, not to mention good looking female. Yet, somehow I don't think that will happen so I'm planning on beginning a search of my own at that time.

To all those at Creative Street: Those of you reading this can know that I particularly enjoyed my years spent getting to know and befriend you. Each of you holds a special place in my heart and you will be sorely missed. It's hard to find a group of people so good natured, yet I hope it is possible to find the same setting in another state. I wish you all the best and you can count on me taking you up on the reference offers!! :)

Love,

Katie
