*Sigh*

I'm so restless.....

Restless at work.....restless at home.....restless in my thoughts....restless in my heart and faith and struggles with sin.....restless for something new.....somewhat scared.....somewhat (a lot) excited....a little nervous....I've just got to put my trust in the Lord....used to be so simple and easy, somehow got hard and complicated.....but KNOW that is the only solution....Lord I pray for a humbled heart, for my walls of self-protection to crumble, for my eyes to be open to see what you are and will continue to do in my life....

It's Coming....

I'm in Ames, and my boss asked me to check the weather because the snow seems to be letting up. Ha ha ha, it's the calm before the storm!! Can't wait to see what happens, I'll be warm and cozy in my room tonight :)

Stuck at my hotel....

Because of this storm passing through our lovely state of Iowa, I stayed the night last night at my hotel-University Park Inn & Suites. With my dad in New York and the potential for icy highways and blowing winds, I didn't want to take my chances at 6:30 in the morning going into the ditch. So last night I got me some Subway, watched some tv, sat in the hot tub for about 15 minutes, took a shower, checked my email, and went to bed. And now it's been raining all morning, soon to turn into snow. So I'll most likely be here once again :)

On the agenda for this evening: Perspectives homework; reading from Exodus, Matthew, Acts and Psalms; watching Survivor and maybe Scrubs since Grey's is a rerun; possibly sitting in the hot tub if it isn't too crowded; and getting a good night's sleep before work tomorrow. Oh and of course, I'll have to throw a shower in there somewhere :)

Come visit me if you're in Ames! Love you all.

I think I might be getting sick....

Do you ever just feel it, you know, in your head, right before a cold comes on?? Right now I am not sick, my head, ears, and throat DON'T hurt....but I have a feeling that very soon they will. I just feel weird. Like I want to wear my hat so my ears won't be exposed anymore, thinking that maybe that will stop the cold from settling in my head. But I think it may be too late.

This sums up how I'm feeling today:

New Year's Celebration

So this is how I spent my New Year's Eve.....reuniting w/ the ladies of Ellis #9. These are 3 girls I love and admire dearly.





Kelly & Drew were so kind to let us crash their awesome apartment in Bloomington. We spent some time letting Eli give us a grammar lesson and played some Mad Libs. It's been a LONG time since I've thought about the parts of speech :)

Then we headed to Ruby Tuesday's for some dinner and ended up back home for a night of games-Friends Scene It, Hoopla, and Poker (I won $8, Eli insisted we add some real stakes....:) )



We enjoyed a drink or 2 :), had to start the night off w/ some before-dinner drinks, followed by the required shot of Pucker before we could continue our game night. Needless to say, it was great to sit and talk and catch up with everyone and sit around the living room just like we used to do every night in IC.





Ladies, Drew, Eli, thank you for a fun night, lots of laughter and Katie, thanks for letting me snuggle with you. Love you all!
