Well a lot of my spare time now is considering the secular aspects of my transition.
I've made a time line at work to exit there and give myself a month before I start at the seminary. That should give me time to do some packing, some vacation and some family visits.
I've started the process of looking for a condominium where my Dad and I can live. We're talking about bringing in my sister and her husband as well. Nothing is decided yet, but there are some possibilities.
Meanwhile, I wander through the house and mentally tag items: seminary (very few), condo, and St. Vincent de Paul. In those travels, I still see too much stuff. There is so much in this house that I never use. " 'tis a gift to be simple..."
Chris, I just read your entire blog so I feel "caught up" for the first time in a long time with you! We are so thrilled for this journey you are on and will definately be praying for you. I have been attending daily Mass regularly (amazing the things you becoming willing to do when your sweet little ones all become teenagers!) So I will be praying for you at Mass every day. We have fond memories of our (short) shared journey with you here in sunny AZ. Grateful our paths crossed. We love you! Jenny & Eddie Cook
