life and such.

WARNING: This is going to be quite random.

Maybe random in a LIST format...cause you know, I have to use lists.

1. I bought a new table and chairs as well as a desk on Craig's list yesterday. Best decision EVER. They were cheap, in perfect condition...and I got 3 pieces of art work thrown in for free!!! I was a little bit worried about going to some strange people's houses to get them, but both people turned out to be really nice. And now, it looks so nice in my new place! I'm working on slightly redecorating... and I am loving it. :)

2. Why do people have to ruin good things? J just had to go and say something to P...and now he's acting all weird. Weird. And dumb.

3. I am still staying out at Craig and Starla's and I love it out here too. It's so nice to love the place you are staying at and not be creeped out. Although...the people camping on the front lawn was a bit strange. I just love the sound of the waves, the salty air, and the sun setting over the water.

4. Emily is such a good, great friend. I am talk to her about anything without feeling judged. She just listens, gives her thoughts... and then leaves it at that. It's perfect. I listen to her, she listens to me. She share, talk, chat, explain, bi**h, vent, cry, laugh... and it's always good.

5. Camp is coming up! 18 days!!!!! Oh, and I found out that Jay and family are coming. He stole my heart last year...and I am so excited to see him and Kalin again.

5.5. We were given the list of families that are coming to camp to pray about. This was one of my favorite things last year. It's like the beginning of the school year when I pray over all of the desks. I get to pray for their time at camp, that they will MAKE it to camp, that they will relax and just let God work in their lives. The things that happen at camp are amazing.

6. Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday. I got him a pretty neat gift. :)

7. I love reading blogs.

8. Oh, and I am so excited that Ed and Kyptin at the last two on the Bachlorette. My guilty pleasure show. Love it...and I am glad that I would be happy with either one being picked. Although... I would mostly pick Ed. I like him a lot. :)

9. I'm thinking about going to Hawaii over my Christmas break... and then coming back right before Christmas. I need some good sunshine time. Currently, it has been 50 degrees, cloudy, and rainy. On my days I have to work though... nice and beautiful. Dumb.

10. And so, this concludes my random list. I love lists.

the little things.

Recently, I have been thinking a lot about 'the little things'. The little things that that certain someone should know about you. The little things that made it special. The little things.

From the great movie "Win A Date with Tad Hamilton", the real love of Rosalie's life tells her that she has 7 smiles. He knows her enough to know that she has 7 different smiles she uses during different times in her life. The little things.

When Harry met Sally. He knows the little things.

I thought I would make a list of some of my little things. Things that hopefully someday, the main man in my life will know. That he will love. Things that he will cherish about me, no matter how quirky.

So, my little things:

~I hate thunderstorms. The best place to be is under the covers during one of those.

~I like to use a little tiny mirror to do my makeup. Even when I have a huge mirror, I like to do mine sitting down with my little cracked mirror.

~ I sleep with a mouth guard in because I grind my teeth LIKE CRAZY.

~ Getting my arms wet is one of my least favorite things.

~ I cry every time people raise their hands up in church.

~Deathly allergic to many things: in particular they include onions, green beans, mushrooms, oysters, and antibiotics

~ I could watch romantic comedies every day of my life and not get tired of them.

~My legs are always covered in bruises. Don't know where they come from, but they are always there.

~ Sometimes I floss my teeth multiple times a day. Sometimes I also don't brush my teeth in the morning and I just use mouthwash. And sometimes I don't

~ If i say I am 'taking a rest' its code speak for taking a really long nap

~ Lists are my life. Currently, I have 6 going all for different things

Well, that is my list for tonight. Time for BED. I'm hoping to lay in the sun tomorrow on my day off. Because, well, that is what I like to do when I have nothing to do.

Oh, and Patrick is coming over to visit tomorrow...Yay!

More to come on this "Little Things List"....

oh look. its me.

Last post... 2 weeks ago.

I lot as changed in my life.

Hold on tight. Here we go.

Working at the gym. Love it.

Started working at the Conference Center. Hate it. With a fiery passion.

Lived at in 4 houses in the last 2 weeks. House sitting.

Saw Emily. She FINALLY decided it was a good idea to 'change her ways'. THANK THE LORD.

Saw Sarah. I love that girl. And yes, I finally told her. I feel like a weight has been lifted.

And then it started. 24 hours ago. Which has resulted in texts, FB, a visit, dinner, and another 'date' planned. Except this is different. It's like a really good friendship with someone who is just really good company. We'll see.

Let's see... what else.

Super excited for camp. Super excited for some more sunshine...where did it go?!?!?

Wishing I didn't have to work so much. But its not terrible. Except I hate my life when I am at work. Besides that though...

So, is that enough of a catch up? I'll post more details later.

Oh the life.

my new life.

I haven't posted recently because my life has been turned upside down with changes. Some good, some bad. Some positive, some not so positive. Some exciting, some not so exciting.

When I get a little big more free time, I will be able to update. Until then...

he will always provide.

I always worry. He always provides.

For example:

• 5 open jobs. I just applied. For all 5. I was convinced that there would not be any.

• A second part time summer job. I was worried about finding one that fit the hours I needed. Turns out that is works Perfectly with a capital P.

• An apartment. That I can afford. They offered ~OFFERED~ to drop the rent.

He always provides. He is Good. He hears me. He knows my heart. God is Good.

verses in my head.

Phillipians 4:6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am God.

wednesday words.

Rough day in the classroom today.  But great support from my friends. :)

Ran for 45 minutes today.  The most I have ever ran in my life... combined. :)  Should be sore tomorrow, but that is just fine with me. 

Saw the apartment today... and it is just what I want.  We shall see.  Be still and know that I am God.  That verse keeps running over and over in my head. I am trying to be patient and see God working in my life.  I"ll get back to you on how that is going.

That's all for tonight.  I am off to watch one of my guilty pleasures... the Bachelorette.  I just love that show.  I'm really liking Jake and Ed and Kipton.  I think that Dave and Wes should have been gone a long time ago.  Maybe they just keep them around for the drama.  

More tomorrow... should be a great day!

Oh, and I am LOVING the warm sunny weather here in WA.  Have to enjoy it while we have it... so I sat out in the hammock for an hour today! :)
