What the...

This will be my small post to quickly update from the 2 1/2 years that I've lost in this part of the virtual universe.

Since Eurotrip2010. I'm a couple years older. Couple years wiser. Quit my day job. Not because I hated it. But because I wanted to pursue my graduate degree full time. Moved away from my hometown. Went back to college (for grad school). Work two jobs. Volunteer when I can. Trying to get involved in my church. Meeting some of the most WONDERFUL people. Figuring out some of my life. Some of my career. Some things about men. Some things about God. Learning. (Trying to be) Caring. (Attempting towards) Sharing.
(All the time) Growing.

That'll do.

Friday the 13th!

Okay, so my post has nothing to do with it being Friday the 13th..but I figured that would work as the title.

What's been going on in my life...hmmm...work is work. It's actually going pretty well, which I'm excited about. I'm working on some things for the holidays..so busy, busy, busy. I went to Virginia Beach to visit my friends in the beginning of October. That was super fun! And now christmas is a month and a half away...I still need to get that all figured out.

But...super exciting news! - I'm going to Europe in March! My roommate and I are taking a trip to England and then Italy....I'm so extremely excited about it.

Well...I guess I'll come back later and update.

Nostalgia

Nostalgia (n): a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time

I've always found nostalgia to be one of the most interesting concepts. Lately I've been thinking a lot about college and I suppose you could say "the time before adulthood set in." I tend to reminisce too much. I have started to question things, wondering if I should've done this or should've done that. I've debated going back for Graduate School over the past year - I've even been accepted, but haven't been able to get my situation together to go. The whole real world schedule of things is...hmmm...interesting. I'm trying to situate it out and get everything together and figure out my future..and slowly, but surely...things are starting to piece together..somewhat. I don't know what this rambling is all about anymore...but hey...to each their own, I suppose.

Bringing This Up To Date

So...this month has been pretty busy! I moved out of my parents house and into an apartment with one of my friends - that is great! I love having my own space and more freedom, now I just have more bills! But, yeah....so it's been pretty crazy on my end. I've felt like I've been going, going, going...so I enjoy my relaxation a little more right now. Also, in thenext month we have a couple big things going on at work, so busy, busy there as well. It's crazy!

But..now I gotta get ready for church...holla!

That's all I have to say about that!

I feel like I have not been utilizing my blog to it's fullest capacity!

So, what's been going on, you may ask?! Not a whole lot. I have been looking for an apartment for a long time and man, am I struggling. I just can't understand how people can charge rent so high in this area, it is truly crazy! So..yeah that's where that's at.

I went to Charleston, SC for training for week last week - a whole week away :-) - super fun! I loved it and I met some amazing people, as well as, saw some good sites...including this:








and this...



Other than that - I've just been trying to get myself motivated (aside from the weight gain) to get off of my lazy behind and start excercising...I suppose we'll see how that works out for me!

"Sunshine, sunshine"

Happy Summer Everyone!


'Tis beautiful outside! Well, at times. Right now it's actually raining and a little ugh~! Anyways, I'm excited though about the summer months, looking forward to some fun in the sun...maybe.


I recently went to the beach and got to visit with some of my, oh so wonderful, friends...good times!

Other than my vacation and visiting my friends, it's just been work, work, work for me!
I recently have been reading a good bit of bits, 2 of which were Pocket Guide to Adulthood and Pocket Guide to the Bible. Both are recommended reads...highly so! I've also gotten excited about thinking about all the adult decisions I've been making, along the lines of retirement and savings. I feel so mature!
Alright people, I'm bored and you probably are, as well! So...later!

Blast From the Past - Via 2004

"I cry out...for one more this piercing pain shoots straight to the core my soul is lieing at Your feet my heart is empty and still searching for who I seek I yearn for the pain, there's comfort within I long for the brokenness that only You can mend This body, this weakness, this cannot be endured my heart cries out for just one more I cannot move, my limbs are heavy, my heart is weak my brokenness that you have given me, the comfort I seek I feel no more, my body removed, your grace has covered my heart renewed. one more touch I cried again till I realized Your touch never ceased within. Your comfort, Your love, Your wonderful grace, this pain, this brokenness, this is your place. You've claimed it as your own. I am no longer alone."
