Today was the start of another semester, and I think it is going to go well. I have two classes that should be easy and two that will stress me out. Either way I do not anticipate the stress that was brought on me by BK last semester. I'm always excited and dreading the start of a new semester. I love the fact that I'll be diving into new material, but am nervous about how the prof. will be, the material, the work load, etc. It all seems manageable at this point, but I'm only reading the syllabus, not working through them. Ha!
Our church is starting a new marriage series and it was excellent this past Sunday. I think every relationship has room to grow whether it's a husband, wife, friend, mother, father, sister, etc. The tools in these relationships are often transferable to the next.
The past week I've felt super close to Matt, and I'm loving the feeling. I'm letting the stress go, and getting back to living with realistic expectations of myself, and it's been such a blessing to us. He's such a good man, and I love him so much!!
Well....off to bed!

New Year
It's a new year - Welcome 2010 - and maybe I will keep up with my blogs better (this one and my foodie blog). We shall see, I make no promises. ;)
Currently I find myself on a journey. I'm unhappy in life..it's not Matt, but it does affect us. I need something to give b/c I feel like I'm drowning. I'm not entirely happy in my job...okay, I'm miserable. I need a change! Full-time school and full-time work are getting to me and I pray that something will change in that area. I need to work, at least part-time and I'm bad about looking. I just assume opportunities will present themselves to me...but when does that ever happen haha! Like someone will offer me this amazing part-time opportunity or a job from home. Other than that my life is amazing and I need to find my joy again. When we started going back to church I came alive for awhile, but that has worn off. On Sundays I feel amazing, then by Mon. when I'm on my way to work, I'm in the dumps again. I pray and pray and I know God will answer in his time and on his terms. I'm blessed to have an amazingly patient husband. He never pushes me and just sits by my side and holds my hand while I go through whatver this is that I've been going through for the last year! I take him for granted and I know it.
On December 23rd I slipped a disc in my back....talk abuot even more depressing. I'm going to grow to heifer size not going to the gym, ha! Thankfully it's nothing life threatning like cancer, so I really can't complain too much. Some rest and I'll be back in the gym and hitting the road running again. It just takes patience on my part, which I suck at..so I think God is teaching me a lesson with this one. ; ) A friend of mine's husband said, "the more I pray for patience, the more chance I get to practice." How perfectly true!! ;)
We did get a French Bulldog this summer. His name is Jake and he has been such a blessing to our family. He was in awful condition when we got him, but is spoiled rotten and healthy now. We found out he is deaf, but is very well adjusted for a deaf dog. He's so adorable too.
Here's a picture of Jake and me before I gained 10 lbs. this semester...which I was on track to lose once the semester ended until my back got hurt. BLEH! Jake's adorable, though!!
