  • The last couple of weeks in bullet points [because honestly the thought of trying to write it all out makes me tired.  Call me lazy if you will...]

    *Finished my second class of the summer.  Did well.

    *Starting my third [and last] class of the summer tomorrow.

    *Got promoted at work to the position of 'Support Manager' - which basically means, 'Let's give you a bunch of responsibility and a couple bucks more an hour'...  No real power, but every little bit of extra $$ helps at this point! 

    *Through a 'random' sequence [it really is a God thing, and I will have to come back and do this story justice later] of events it seems that I may have found a new place to live here in town when Wendy and the family make the big move to Nashville.   HUGE answer to prayer because while I was looking forward to living with my parents and younger siblings again, I was DREADING the added hour and a half drive EVERY day.  The thought of losing that amount of time when I could be studying or sleeping just about made me cry.  This new place will be 6 minutes from work and 10-15 from school.  Totally doable. 

    *I am completely addicted to 'So you think you can dance' right now.  I really want to sign up for some kind of dance class!  I think that it is so cool to be able to express yourself with your body like that...LOVE IT. 

    *I am still driving my parents little Geo Tracker around.  I am super grateful for this vehicle - pretty good gas mileage, gets me from here to there...it doesn't have air conditioning,  but so far the summer hasn't been super hot, so even that is not a bad thing.  I just talk louder on my cell phone when I am driving because the wind through the open window gets pretty loud. 

    *Yesterday was my parents 34th anniversary - they went away for the whole weekend and it sounds like they had a great time.  I love that they like each other even more now than they ever did.  They are such cool, humble, content, godly people.  My parents embody so much that I want to be....maybe with time???

    *Wendy, Flo and I have a new hobby - BINGO.  I am pretty sure that Wendy is going to post about our first time...she has pictures and tells it way better than I do.  If anyone is in the area and wants to join in, we will be playing on Thursday nights at the fireman's hall in Collinsville!  As an added incentive, there are some pretty cute firemen there staffing the events...

    *I learned how to use a powerwasher on aged wood this last week.  It is one of my new favorite things to do.  Seriously - I am such a geek...I am out there spraying away and thinking to myself 'How cool would it be if I could start up a powerwashing business [in my SPARE time of course - ha] and get paid to do this!?!'  Seriously.  It is SO fun.  There is something so satisfying about seeing things that don't even seem that dirty at first get really, super clean.  I LOVE it.

    Okay - I really need to get off here and try to be productive or something.  Have a great day everyone!!
