Just an update....

I didn't go to Target yet....trying to stick to that budget!

Spring Fever

I just get excited every time the weather changes. I didn't have to wear a coat this morning on the way to work-the radio said at 7 am it was already close to 60 degrees and should get near 80 today!!

Then I get to work and see the weekend ads from Target. There are some ADORABLE skirts and springy clothes at pretty decent prices. And unfortunately, I need a new swimsuit this summmer-which is NOT easy to shop for. I would love to go on a mini shopping spree-but I am trying to live on my budget.....oh what am I to do!?!?

I'll keep you posted on my decision.....

*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.
