What I'm Thankful For: (In no particular order)
My family Cold Winter Night
Old Friends Hot Summer Days
New Friends My Church
My job Overflow
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice cream Books
Candles People that challenge Me
Target Beth Moore
My new apartement The guys fighting for my Liberty
Love of those who love me The Pilgrims
Freedom My Salvation
America and my opportunity to bless it My Heavenly Father
Opportunity to be a Blessing to God The written word
Fresh Strawberries Louie Giglio
Music to soothe my soul at the end of a The Challenges that God brings my way
very bad day The Resolution of those challenges and Caramel Apple Cider the results that I learn
My Friends My Family
the things that break my heart My new apartement!!!
Friends getting married Friends having babies
My sister
And much, much more~ things too numerous to list here, but make my heart warm and glow. Things that make me realize that while I'm on this journey that God has put me on, there are things to enjoy that make it pleasant and happy, even though they are temporary. The things I am most thankful for--That God loved me so much that He sent His SON to die for me, and that they are protecting me and watching me and want more from me than I am aware that I am capable of. And that I am blessed more than I could ever imagine because of it.
~Happy Thanksgiving!~

Life...Cnt'd
Good news...I signed on my very own apartement last night!! It's a small one bedroom. About 550 square feet. I move in on December 23. An early Christmas present to myself. But, it will be mine. Mine to do whatever I want. I will be able to decorate it in a uniquely me way. Probably beach or very dark, jewel tones that feel homey and safe and remind me of fall all year long.
I am going to be an aunt...again. I love my Josiah ( I call him Siah), I'm not sure how I could love another little Siah nearly as much. But somehow, I'm sure that the little edition will fit into our family just fine, and just in time for summer trips on the boat and to the beach.
The not so good... there is an all out war between the guys and the girls. The last episode involved triple antibiotic ointment and 5 very unsuspecting girls at 2:30 in the morning. I think we all collectively quit maturing around age 15. Always be on gurard. :0)
My lovely laptop died...the mother board got tired and sick. The blue stallion can't be fixed. :0( However, I do now have a nice, fast desktop that is nearly even more lovely.
Life is good. Busy and occupied and filled with people and experiences that for the most part, I love. Even though there will always be a few that aren't so lovely and fun and painless even they have their places and their puroposes in my life in growing me and making into the person that God wants me to be. This is my focus. In spite of what I may say in joking around. John Piper challenges me to my core.
Jack is playing. He and the Hillsong United cd are my soundtrack to life right now. I think that makes for a pretty good life. ;P

Life
So, it's been a while since I've written here. I've been busy. Orientation in the ICU is going great!!! I love it. I love being able to see the people go from being really sick to getting much better. It's fun with all of the challenges that are presented every shift. Work, is good.
My leg though, is not so good. I scraped it on Kent's weight machine. It drew blood and now it's all red and green and pretty gross for an ICU nurse. :O)
Haven't read any books lately... any suggestions?
I'm still in the hunt for an apartement. I'm on the waiting list at Carlton Arms--just waiting on the phone call. Anyone got any free furniture I can have?
The fun part is that I've been hanging out with the crew--a lot. And the crew is growing. I caught up with my friend Jeanne at Pier 1 over the white coffee mugs that screamed hot chocolate or chicken lo mein, depending on what day it is. It was weird to think that we met in high school and now she and Ashley are married (Ashley is pregnant) and Heather is engaged. We haven't had Wednesday afternoon lunch with Jon and Ryan Dupre in about 3 years. But changes are sometimes good.
