The last week...

It's been a busy couple of weeks... Here is a little update from my life.

I went to GA to see the fam...

That is Brody... He is almost 2 and a little trouble maker, but so cute while he does it.

That is my niece Bella scoring one of her many goals. She is a great soccer player... It was so much fun watching these little 5-6 year olds run around playing socer

I made this cake for a little boy. It is for Robin... as in Batman and Robin. My first ever full fondant cake... It was actually easier than I thought and I learned it all by watching how-to's on youtube... love it.

One day at work, Rachel and I were kicking a soccer ball around that I won. Yes... I won it at a soccer game. Anyways, she kicked it and it went sailing right into this crate that only had about 6 inches of clearance under the desk. It is still there in that crate to this day with two very proud people looking on!

Here is one of my favorite pictures of Rachel... it makes me laugh every time I see it. Rach, don't kill me...

Also, I have enjoyed this site so much. You all should try it, for those of you who have fancy photo editing software this is probably boring to you, but for me it is perfect. It's free, easy and has fun things, so go to it... http://www.picnik.com/app#/home/welcome

One last thing... What are your thoughts on twitter? I still have not decided what I think of it yet... I feel like it has just taken off in the last couple of weeks and everyone is talking about it. It is supposedly going to replace blogging... All I have to say is if you can stay connected to me by a single sentence that is just sad.

Wow, I think this needs to go down as the longest post I have ever put up... I hope everyone has a great week coming up. Please be praying for a job for me!

Inventory of Belongings

So I have been told that I need to put this up on my blog... so here it is...

The other Saturday I got really excited because I was done with school and didn't have to do homework. So I was sitting on the couch thinking to myself that it was a perfect saturday and what could I do to make it even better? I decided that making a spreadsheet of everything I own and what I think it is worth, whether I want to sell it in a garage sale or not (so I know what I want to take with me when I move), and then when I move what I will need to purchase and how much I think each thing will cost me.

So for the first picture: This is the major things that I own right now and how much I think they are worth. Then at the bottom I have a sales goal for my garage sale and what stuff I want to sell.

The Second picture is what I need:
Go ahead... laugh it up. But I feel much better now!

march...seriously?

This is a great picture of my niece and give a pretty good description of how I am feeling this morning...

I just really can't believe it is March already. And with that next weekend means that March is almost halfway over. I am in a very different place in my life. I have 6 weeks left at The Center and am trying to be 100% there and engaged, but I have to prepare for when I leave and what I will do. So that means that I am posting resumes, applying to jobs, scheduling interviews and the like. I had an interview on Friday and it just felt weird (for lack of a better word). Then I had to go back to work... I just don't think that I am that good at compartmentalizing things!

Anways, since the sun and warmth is here I decided to write somethings that I am very thankful for!

• I am about to take my last FINAL EVER ... edit... I just found out that the final that I thought was at 9:00am is actually at 9:30am...
  
• Did I mention it has been warm and staying warm
• The daffodils are coming out all over
• I had an interview on Friday
• I can know that God is leading me and will direct me where he wants me
• Margaritas...
• A much needed haircut today
• Going home to Colorado for Easter
• TAX RETURN! (thanks mom)
• A group of us made a business plan for an Electronic Medical Record database and we were just accepted into a big competition for it (I know NERD-Y), but we have a chance to win over $40,000! So ha... take that!
• Yoda the Toyota
• My incredible friends... I hate thinking about how we are all going in separate directions in a few months

This is a picture of our trip to Chicago... it was cold.
Have a GREAT saturday...

The things I saw

We walked for what felt like hours to see the sears tower... then were too cheap to go up it... oh my.































Had lunch in Chinatown... it was great! Thanks Mark and Kora.









Saw the Bean... cool.
















Loved Blue Man Group.

It was a fun trip to Chicago. My first time. Even though I was sick and could not eat anything solid, I still had a great time.

Change

I love change. Sometimes the change can be hard to face.

It is February and I am now looking at a major change in my life.
I don't know whether to jump for joy for the opportunities that lay ahead.
Crawl into a hole and wish that I was not as driven as I am.
Ignore the need to impress and just be me.
Take the time to cry it out.
Rest in the faithfulness of God.
Or... could it possibly be a combination of all those things?

Psalm 33:4-5

4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.

5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.

sledding

We went out sledding and it was so fun! When we hit the bottom of the driveway we slushed is so much water that it was freezing... oh well... totally worth it.

This was when we just started out... We were trying to figure out what types of sledding options worked the best! It was a blast!

It was a great snow day! We started the day with pancakes and coffee (a tradition that Bunch and I have whenever we are home together), went out and took pictures, then came home for a while and waited for the snow to accumulate, played Scattergorie, went out sledding with Becky and Ashley, picked up Brittney because she didn't have any electricity, ate a great dinner of lasagna (I think this has become my favorite) and now we are just hanging out and watching The Holiday... It was a full day, but so much fun. It really doesn't feel like a snow/ice day at all!

Hope you all are being safe out there!

cold and dreary

I am so ready for spring! We are supposed to get 1/4 to 1/2 of ice tonight... I am totally not a fan of this cold weather. Oh well... gives me a good excuse to get that Econ homework done... Hopefully Yoga isn't canceled... I don't know what I would do without that!

For some reason when I just read my post... I felt like I sounded really ditzy... oh dear! I guess I am just scattered...
