Heading to Captiva

I am so excited, also I have much work to do.  I have landed a job in Captiva which is about one and a half hours from here.  I am working at South Seas Resort at a Spa.  Kay Caspersons Lifestyle Spa and Boutique.  I have not worked like this since I got my license.  Yesterday I gave 7 sessions the one thing I LOVE is that finally I am able to do skin care.  I am so happy.  So we are moving Redletters to Captiva in about 3 weeks.  Captiva is an island north of Sanabell.  It is so beautiful.  Funny I never knew it existed.  This adventure is truly underway.  I still can't believe that we are doing this.  I can't believe my life has changed so much.  I miss my girls still and always will.  But this is an opportunity and I just have to take it.  I am making very good money and this way we will be able to live on the hook.  Liven on the hook is off the hook!  Ha Ha just had to say that like its off the chain but off the hook get it?  Ok anyway.  The Captain of this vessel would like to choke me at times.  I have loaded this boat down with so much stuff that we really are in no shape to sail.  So these next couple of days I have to spend my time stowing away, giving away and throwing away my stuff.  Jeepers I thought I did a good job when we first started getting rid of our stuff but I am a typical woman and I can gather up and cling to stuff as if the world was going to end if I did not have it.  It is a crazy process looking at your stuff analyzing it and deciding do I need this or not.  I hang on to the most senseless things.  So tomorrow I start again.  Its gotta go.  I am ready I have the itch you know the spring cleaning gotta get rid of it itch and when that itch comes your better scratch it because after that comes the I gotta go shopping itch and when you live on a boat you have to get rid of three things before you are aloud to bring on one more thing.  So one thing that I have fallen in love with and have to find away to make room for is my drift wood.  I love it.  This is Mimzies fault but that is ok because the Captain will allow the drift wood for he loves it also and we can sell it.  So I am making garland, little sail boats and crosses out of it.  I love working with it, it gives me a sense of calm while piecing and creating with it.  So I am willing to get rid of some of my other belongings in order to keep the drift wood.  I hope and pray that I wake in the morning with energy and great ideas so that I can get this boat ready for the move to Captiva.  I am so so excited about this.  Number one our friends Steve and Memzie have just moved their and we miss them.  They are doing great.  The have 6 people on their boat right now and seem to be getting along fine.  I mean really think of the memories they have and we will have.  I have dreams and visions of my grandchildren coming to stay the summer with us on the boat.  Seeing the crew of Nomas living aboard the hook is encouraging and gives me confidence that we can do this and that we will have many memories with our family.  I love the Island of Captiva I cant wait to spend the night star gazing and watching the sun go down on the beach.  I cant wait to see how it is going to go with me dinging in from the boat to the marina to go to work.  I have a feeling I am in for a treat along with some surprises.  Our friends have seen dolphins and manatees galore it is just wild to think that very soon I will be living on the hook in Captiva aboard my beloved Redletters.  I love her so much.  I am so blessed to have this opportunity to see another part of the world.  To think that one day we will really set sail and travel to the Bahamas and the Dominican. We want to share the love of Christ with the world, we want to do Gods will.  Right now the Spa that I am working at is very High end.  Our clients our wealthy which truly is something to see.  I remember God speaking to me one day and telling me not to be surprised when I Begin to witness to the wealthy corporate type.  I was still working at the YMCA and when I quit I dismissed this thought but now it has came back to me.  Hmmmm maybe this is the time that the Lord was talking about.  We shall see.  So good day for now, I will write again soon.
