Life...

So, my life in the last two months:

Fiance graduated; i'm so proud of him!

We survived our first job interview, and our first being turned down for said job.

Work.

More Work.

Even More Work.

Yeah. that's about it.

I want a sonic screwdriver!

My latest obsession is Dr. Who....the doctor just regenerated and so i'm still working out how i feel about the new guy. I'm really attached to David's Dr. so we shall see...

Seriously, watch dr. who. its funny.

times fun when you're....

yes. it is two weeks later. and yes, i have yet to finish the skirt. i did manage to start it though! so far my thoughts on it are as follows: 1. Ruffles are hard. 2: my mom's sewing machine is a beast.

Everyone who reads my blog should go watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. right now.

(yes. shameless promotion.)

Experiment 1

I've decided to teach myself to sew....not that i've ever been able to do that before but hey, why not? so i found a simple pattern on the internets and i'm gonna try it. My fabric is in the wash right now and i plan on starting tomorrow...i'm super excited!

What happened to spring?

The past couple days have been overcast and yucky; last night it positively DOWNPOURED here, which made driving home interesting since i need new windshield wipers for my poor car....I don't mind the rain i just wish it was a bit warmer so i could go outside and jump in puddles!

I'm four days into my Bible reading experiment and i'm finding that Job is WAY more interesting then i remember it being the last time i read it (which, granted, was like, five years ago). I'm loving getting into God's word on a daily basis and finding something, somewhere, in the chapters i read (usually several somethings) that are applicable to my life.

In other news, check out the worship band The Glorious Unseen. I bought their CD off Itunes and I LOVE it!

Around the Bible in 90 Days

I'm gonna work my way through the Bible in 90 days....and i have a reading plan to allow me to do that! I'm really excited about it....i think the reason i have so much trouble with 'read through the Bible in a year' plans is they take too long. i'm a very impatient person and i want results right away. So I'm excited about this new plan, and excited about all the new and fascinating things just waiting to be discovered about my Wonderful God!

Time

My wedding is only six months away, give or take....and i'm just getting started planning it and i'm already totally overwhelmed and i'm not having 'fun' and i just want it to be OVER! Really. People who think this is fun are crazy. For real.

On a TOTALLY unrelated note, i finished a book today called Religion Saves, which was both hilarious and insightful, two opposites you don't usually get in a 'christian inspiration' book, lol.

Now i'm reading The Case For Christ. and enjoying it!

If at first you don't succeed....

Let your blog lie here, alone and untouched, for four months...

Not really. i'm just sporadic. and it's not like anyone reads this anyway :)

Growing up is disappointing. and hard. i want to be seventeen again and have no worries about money, or bills, or anything. but then, if i was seventeen, i'd be sullen, angsty, and depressed again too. maybe i'll take money worries.

But God is good. And He will provide, even in this time of frustration.

I'm Engaged! Danny proposed around thanksgiving...in front of the jellyfish in monterey! it's awesome, i'm so excited....well, except now i have to plan a wedding. bleh.

tis the season....

Time to torture the turkey again! I'm looking forward to thanksgiving this year; my family, Danny, and I are headed to the West Coast. I haven't been home for three years and i'm looking really forward to it. We plan on hitting up the Aquarium in Monterey; i'm SUPER excited! It's one of my favorite places ever and i'm so excited about being there and showing Danny around and all the cool fishies.

Plus, hey, we're visiting family! a week isn't THAT long, is it? :)
