This has been an interesting summer. No doubt about it. This has been a difficult summer and an enlightening one. I've learned a little more about myself, alright A LOT more. I've figured out what is important and what I've been missing. Who is important and who I've neglected and who I shouldn't have really spent much time with in the first place.

I've felt loneliness with people all around me, and overcrowdedness with no one there. I've cried HARD and laughed harder. I bought awesome shoes!!! And gosh darn it I'm going to be a better person because of this summer.

My family moved to ohio and my stable relationship was removed from my life. All my dependancy and self-worth was placed into these two relationships. When they left I was left no one and no place to look, but to Christ. And that is why this summer will be okay. I am learning dependance and self worth in Christ again.  Beautiful thing. Through this some beautiful friendships have emerged. Shout out ladies!!

Praise!!

On a diff note... I've decided again that I love people. I love talking to all of them!! The baggers at the grocery store and the old lady where I work. So many people with so many stories. I love it.

Work is good. I really love my job. Leasing Consultant at Gables Town Lake... are you kidding me.. this job is awesome. I work with some awesome ladies.

This will be the month of traveling for me. I leave in a couple of days for La Jolla CA to visit with my brother and his fam. Then a couple of days after that I go to ohio to help my family finish unpacking in the new house. Then 5 days after that I leave for Rome and Germany. It is going to be an amazing pilgrimage! Mmmmm. Stories!!

I'm gonna go read... I'm working on the Lambs Supper. Monica and I had a HEFTY reading list for the summer and I can proudly say that I've read TWO out of the TWENTY books I was supposed to. Busy summer.

Ciao!

Life is good. Life is really good! I started my new job a couple of days ago. Lovely. I am a leasing professional with the Gables Town Lake. BEAUTIFUL! I leased my first apartment yesterday! YEAA!! Commision!

School is fine. I'm not sure I want to stay in it. I figure at the rate I'm going and can afford it I'll graduate when I'm 31 years old. STINK! I'd better have a family by then! We'll see. I'm still praying on it. The job I have now is looking good for the long term I could do it and then just volunteer with Youth Ministry (which is where my heart is really at.) I went home last weekend and had breakfast with my dad. He and I talked it all out, and I love him for being supportive in whatever I do. It's a good feeling. To be backed up and covered in prayer. I feel a lot of that lately.

Truth be told, I wish I was a gazillionaire and could just volunteer EVERYWHERE and do EVERYTHING!! Ick having to pay for my lifestyle. I should learn to be cheaper.

I'm a god-mommy now. My brothers youngest daughter Hayley Anne is my very own lil God-daughter whom I get to love on and shower with hugs and kisses. If I had a better xanga I'd put a picture of her up... but I don't. Just imagine the dadgum little cutest girl EVER!!

The countdown has begun... I will be 21 in 6 months and 4 days. Ohhh, still so far away. Ewww

This past Sunday I went canoeing on Town lake with my favorite boyfriend. It was so relaxing. Probably not as much for Mikey though, He had to do all the rowing. I'm kind of a wuss and stopped rowing after about 5 minutes... I have weak elbows. I can't help it. Anyway, it was a beautiful day, and then I got ice cream!

I GOT A NEW BED!!! It's a full size and it's memory foam and I never want to get out of it! I got a new bedspread that's marroon with gold and pearls and beautful madness!!!!! 

I've got to say it, I love the people God is putting in my life.

Ciao.

Let me love on God for a bit....

So I was really wanting a new dress top wear to semi-formal. I was going to let it go and wear the old one... but on a spur of the moment thing I grabbed Michael and we went to good ole Barton creek Mall and hit the stores! On the way there I said a prayer... "Lord, i really want a new dress, please pick one out for me and let it be $50 or less, preferably less, like $30. I love you, Amen."  Now you might think that praying for a dress is a lil weird. But, truth be known, I've always prayed for Christ to pick out my dress for me, ever since Junior prom. I always have a specifc price in mind and He always comes through. ALWAYS!!!! Believeable!!! Anyway.... I went to White House Black Market (love of my life store) and found THE dress... in the end it cost me $35. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! Beautiful little gifts... God granting the lil silly desires of my heart. Amen!!

Just wanted to share with you!
