FUN!

Last night we went to Briley's Corn Maze with Marty and Exie. It was Jordan's and my first time going to anything like that. It was fun to hang out with everyone but I don't really like being scared so I don't think I will go back for that.

I bought pajamas for my nephew, Wyatt, yesterday because his birthday is coming up next month. They are Superman and the shirt even has a CAPE!! It is so sweet.

Today was very exciting...
I got a rental car.. a Dodge Nitro which is pretty cool.. it's growing on me
I got contacts (FINALLY!! I HATE my glasses.)
I got Wii Fit to help me with my exercise and to track my activity... Jordan found one this morning at GameStop. No one has had them in stock since they came out. I'm pretty excited.

Now the not so exciting things that need to happen tonight...
I need to finish my ELEM 3235 exam and mail that to my teacher.
I need to finish writing my lesson plan and send that to my two teachers who need to review it.
I would like to clean the house up a little.

That's pretty much it. I want to have a little "girlfriend time" here soon. Anyone wanna hang out? Coffee? Movie? Walk & Talk? I'm up for anything.

I'm getting really excited about the Women of Faith conference! WOO HOO!

Oh and a nice little tidbit... Jordan and I are going out of town to Cary next Tuesday and coming back Wednesday. We can afford it because Jordan worked so much overtime this month and got a raise. So, we are treating ourselves to a little pampering. I'm so excited!

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

After Jordan got home last night, we went out for dinner, went to a movie and then went to Starbucks. It was such a good night. We haven't gone on a date in awhile because we're so tired all the time when we're not working, we don't want to go anywhere. But, we finally got a chance to go out and it was a lot of fun. I totally recommend Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was so cute and funny! I think it's my new favorite movie!

Last Weeks WW Results

WALK WITH ME!!

Today is so beautiful. I want to walk and talk with someone but no one is picking up!! Am I going to have to go by myself? I'm sure I'd like that too, but if I can catch up with a friend, that's even better.

Current Thoughts & Struggles

I'm listening to Shane & Shane. I love their music. It always makes me feel better. I remember blasting it when I had just gotten my car. I loved it.

Anyways, Jordan is playing at Notes tonight. I had to stay home to:

Clean the living room

Write a five page paper on the interview that I did with Amanda :)

Prepare a presentation for Tuesday

Study for my midterm on 9 chapters that I have not read for my art class

I am so stressed right now. Please pray for me. I got myself into this hard spot - I should have been reading all along, but now I am freaking out.

I need to get more sleep. It's so hard to stay sane and function without sleep. Any good tips on how to make sure you get to bed early? I've been saying that I needed to all week but I haven't made it happen.

Also, I've been having a LOT of wrist pain in the past two weeks. Any ideas on how to make it feel better? I feel like it may be involved with all of the typing I've had to do lately. Owww.

Has anyone seen Mama Mia? My mom told me that it was great, but I have never seen it.

Jordan and I had a good weekend visiting family. I saw Nanny, Grandaddy and my cousins April (who's my age) and Kenny (who's a couple years younger than me). We also saw a lot of Jordan's family. He had such a good time with his sister. I'm so happy he got to see her. He misses his family so much.

Please keep Jordan in your prayers as well. He is very tired and stressed out right now with everything that is going on at Casual Male. He had a really busy week last week, a full weekend with going out of town and officiating a wedding, a busy day today with church, choir, and playing at notes, and next week, he has to work 52 HOURS!!! on top of all of his church work. I hope he can do this... Lord, please prepare him for this week and help him to get as much rest as he needs.

This song has been on my mind. It's beautiful.

White as Snow

Jon Foreman

Have mercy on me, oh God 

According to Your unfailing love 

According to Your great compassion 

Blot out my transgressions 

Create in me a clean heart, oh God 

Restore in me the joy of Your salvation 

The sacrifices of our God are a broken and a contrite heart 

Against You and You alone have I sinned 

Would You create in me a clean heart, oh God 

Restore in me the joy of my salvation 

Wash me white as snow 

And I will be made whole 

Wash me white as snow 

And I will be made whole

So I haven't posted lately because life is CRAZY!

I had a wonderful and relaxing trip to PA with my family and I loved getting to play with my nephew. It was just awesome. But now, it's back to everyday life. The house is a WRECK! Assignments are creeping up on me and I have like 4 due tomorrow that I haven't finished! So, today will be busy.

Weight Watchers Update!

Jordan lost 2 lbs this week so he is down

8.8 pounds :)

I lost 1 lb this week so I am down 

2.6 pounds.

Magnificent.

Today, I had a great day. It was beautiful outside, I babysat a really sweet girl and made a nice chunk of change, and I was granted residency at ECU. This means that I get FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS back in loans. This is great news and definitely an answered prayer. 

I'm surprised at myself. I haven't missed one class or been tardy yet (except for once and it wasn't my fault). I have turned in all of my assignments early or on time and I have not forgotten an assignment yet. WHOO HOO!! I do need to actually read though. Some exams are coming up in the next couple weeks.

I love my life.
