Pop-tarts...

It's 9:41 am and I'm in my teeny tiny cubicle at PMRG stuffing a pop-tart in my face. Suddenly, I'm struck with the realization that life has only just begun. I just started thinking about how much I was enjoying my pop-tart when I realized it's not the pop-tart I'm enjoying, it's just my life in general! Yay! What a great and wonderful feeling.

It's not any one thing in particular that is going so well right now. I think it is just God working in and through every part of my life right now. Or should I say, I'm paying attention to Him doing this now! It's this incredible feeling of peace and encouragement and joy that is present and intense and I'm loving every second of it...

God is good and I hope tomorrow my life is as sweet as a pop-tart just like it is today...

Why is it so hard?

Why is it that everytime I sit down to write one of these things I end up erasing the whole thing? I think the point is to have either a release to share whatever it is you need to share or to update whoever it is that needs updating. I think the reality is that no one that needs updating will read this and for whatever reason I don't feel the need to release anything. Oh well...

Life is pretty normal right now. We're sitting here watching a movie which is nice. Things tend to get busy and we end up hanging out with friends EVERY night. Don't get me wrong, we have great friends and we have so much fun - we just need to stay home once in a while. Anyway. I suppose one new item is the new car. I know what you're thinking...another new car? Unfortunately, this was not by choice. The green beast has seen her last days and must be laid to rest. The new addition to our family is a 2009 Honda FIT. If you're not familiar with what that is - google it - I don't feel like explaining it. It's a great car and we're super happy with it.

That's really about it...

Oh, one last thing. We're leaving Sept 25 for my home in Illinois and I couldn't be more excited! I love my family and miss them so much. We will be leaving from LAX on the 25th and returning on the 29th. While we're there we will see old friends, catch up with some awesome relatives and see my sisters play some volleyball!!! Life is good...

Blogging is fun.


BTW - that picture doesn't have anything to do with anything. It just makes me laugh.

Buying some time...

Ok, so I'm REALLY supposed to be working right now, but I just got this extreme urge to start a blog. So, now it's started. I'll be back later.
