Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY Friday, June 19, 2009

Outside my window... we are at Jeff and Sarah's...so outside THEIR window, it is dark because it is 11:15 pm and the boys are playing Wii and Sarah and I are chillin'.

I am thinking...wondering if ETBU will actually get a master's program in the next year.

I am thankful for...a day of rest tomorrow! Tomorrow we are going to sleep in for the first time in FOREVER. Having two jobs (both of us) gets tiring. So, it'll be nice to relax and do laundry before a busy week of camp in Ruston, LA.

From the learning rooms...Tim and I will be teaching half of the youth going to camp in small groups. In preparing, God has shown me a lot of things that I need to work on personally.

From the kitchen...we won't be cooking next week because camp cooks for us YAY!! But, we are trying to eat healthier.

I am wearing...my denim gouchos that I LOOOVE and a yellow etbu blue crew shirt.

I am creating...a special something for my Dad...but I'm not sure when I can get it to him.

I am going...the beach in AUGUST!!!!! I cannot wait. It's my parent's 30th anniversary, Jeff and Sarah's 5th anniversary, and Tim and I's 1st anniversary! So, to celebrate we are all going to Port Aransas together and I CANNOT wait!! Laying on the beach sounds so luxurious right now!!

I am reading...My bible...I have been so much more consistent the past month. I love it!!

I am hoping...to get down to 20% body fat by August. I have 3.1% to go.

I am hearing...guns and bombs going off from a game Jeff and Tim are playing.

Around the house...Sarah is now sleeping on the couch and again, the boys are playing...Colin has been asleep for a while. At our house, there are clothes everywhere waiting to be washed.

One of my favorite things...is my relationship with Tim. He told me yesterday that he expected us to have a great marriage but didn't realize how great it would be. We have been able to communicate incredibly well and by putting God first...it has been incredible!

A few plans for the rest of the week...tomorrow is getting rested and ready for camp, Sunday church, and Monday we leave at 10:00 am and worship and serve until Friday! Sadly, Saturday (the day after we get back) I work ALL day in the Healthplex...boo. No recovering for me.

Here is picture thought I am sharing... This is the happiest day of my life!!

Early Mornings

I am sitting at the ETBU Healthplex trying to stay awake right now. I am definitely not a morning person...so seeing 5:30 am does not make me smile. At ETBU, the faculty and staff work ten hour days Monday-Thursday so that they can have Fridays off. Well, the Healthplex is still open on Fridays and Saturdays...so here I sit. It's not too bad, there's just no one here and there probably won't be all day. Atleast it gives me time to update my blog, right?

I was good this week. I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I might work out today...but I am being tempted to take the day off and take a nap instead! We'll see...

Tim and I saw Up last night. I must say for the first like hour of the movie, I have never been so sad during a Disney movie. But, it was good. The ending offered redemption and happy feelings so I guess it was pretty good. I still don't know how much I liked it. No Monsters Inc. that's for sure.

I've been reading Romans the last few weeks and it's made me feel so optimistic of being a child of God. His grace is sufficient, His stregth is perfect. What better than to live in the Hope God perfectly placed for us when we choose place ourselves in his grace. Full confidence...life is sweet.

So, there are some weird noises coming from one of the hallways and it's freaking me out...I'm going to go check it out...

EDIT:
I'm still in the Healthplex and I have been facebook wondering. I see my friends who are getting married and my mind thinks "I want to do that again!! I'm so jealous!" Then, I see my friends who are married and have dogs, and I think "I want a dog sooo bad!" I also see friends who are pregnant and having kids and I am thinking "I wish that was us!" I am wishing wishing wishing and I forget that I have plenty of time and much to enjoy in the present. However, I can still wish...
