Two Weeks

Two weeks until
my Orthoman is here again.
Two weeks and it will be
Holy Week.
May God bring us to this Week of Weeks. 

Lent Day 3

Hair cut and conversation with hair dresser.
Trying not to melt down at realizing that
to get my hair (and makeup) done before liturgy and
then the Crowning
I will have to be at church by 8 AM at the latest.
I am guessing I will be up by 5 AM to do prayers
and everything.
By then the plan is to have Cleo and my belongings
moved down South to the
East Coast apartment where
Orthoman and I will make our first home.
I am not even sure what house/home I will wake
up in on my wedding day.
(though I already have two ideas in mind :) ).
*
I have made a two grocery list pages for
the Months of
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
and what needs to be accomplished in what month.
This includes two week long visits
to Michigan before August
Two or three visits to the East Coast
with the move happening in August.
*
Now I need to call the cater and see
about pricing...

I start my new work next week Monday at 9 AM.
Lord have mercy.

Our First Lent

My last lent in Ottawa.
I had been with Orthoman for two weeks this month
and last week was sick
so it was about a month since I was last at my church.
Confession with my spiritual father
tonight at the Eve of Lent.
Tonight I must admit I cried because
Lent is my favourite season
as it means lots of church family
and it is my last Lent here as I
will be leaving
my church family and spiritual father
to marry Orthoman.
But the vision of what I feel called to
in marrying Orthoman is beautiful and I know that God
will not leave me.
But the grief of leaving my home
is just as real as the joy of being given my
beloved Orthoman
whose love continues
to flower before my very eyes.
