Amarillo!

I'm so excited, this weekend we are going to Amarillo to see Isaac's parents one last time before school starts. They actually used to live in a small town about 20 miles east of Amarillo, Claude,TX home of 1300 people. About a month ago (on our anniversary) they actually moved into Amarillo to be closer to work since Lauren graduated high school and is moving to Lubbock this fall. So this will be our first visit to their new house! Isaac is a little sad about not going back to Claude anymore, and thinks it is funny that we are going to have to get directions to his parents house. It will be really nice not to have to drive the 20 miles into town and back again everyday we are there so we can go into Amarillo...we'll already be there! And I'm also really excited because I have a hair appointment with their hairdresser Birdie on Saturday! I need a trim and color soooooooo bad!

Also...I only have 7 days of work left! How awesome is that. But that also means that school is only a week and a half away! Yikes!!! Isaac starts tw0-a-day's on Monday and will have to leave the house everymorning by 6:30 so he can make it to SpringLake in time for practice. Then he will come home and shower and eat and be at NorthStar from 2-5. We are gonna be one busy family, I tell ya! But we are really excited about where God is leading us.

I guess that's really all for now. I'll try to take some pictures this weekend and post them for you! Have a great rest of the week!

Another day...

So I had another one of those days where I deal with rude people and lose faith in mankind. However today, this one apologized and realized that it was not me personally who was making her life difficult but the difficult company I work for. It gives me hope to realize there are still people in this world that will and do care about the feelings of others. I have been thinking about this alot lately because I just finished reading a book dealing with the very same thing. Francine Rivers, one of my favorite authors, rights Christian books that really get you thinking. This one was called "And the Shofar Blew." It was about a family of believers whose church congregation was dwindling due to age and death, and a young pastor and his family who were called by God to serve and help build the church. As time goes on, the young pastor begins to relish in the power he is given as head of the church and loses sight of everything he has ever believed in, mostly he loses sight of God and begins running all over his family and everyone he loves in his effort to build up his own reputation. In the end, God awakens him and he comes back to the Lord but it really got me thinking. I hate how often we, ok mostly I, forget who I am here to live for. Jesus Christ. I try so hard to make people think that I love God on the outside, and it's not that I don't love Him, I just sometimes forget to include Him in my life and my decisions and thoughts. That's something that is not going to get easier as I enter law school which is drenched in the worldly. I just hope that I can stay focused where I need to focus. On God first, and trust that everything else will fall into place as He has planned it. Pray for me will ya?

Obsession...."So You Think You Can Dance!"

So I have an obsession. I cannot miss an episode without going crazy. I am also very disappointed in how America is choosing to vote. Over this season, my opinions have changed multiple times as the dancers have grown and come into their own. Right now, Im really rooting for Katee to win, although at first I was very upset when they let her on the show with such a poor attitude. However, I see now that she is the most talented Dancer this season, and possibly that this show has ever seen. Last night was a really hard elimination for me to watch because I didn't believe that either of the guys should have been in the bottom two. I really felt that Mark should have been the one to go even though his personality is my favorite. Dancing wise however, Will is the best guy dancer on the show and I just wish America would have realized it. Will was the whole package...and they blew it by voting him off the show. As far as the girls go. It was time to see comfort go...again! She never should have been let back on in the first place. And as far as Courtney being in the bottom two girls, now it's just down to how the show works. Katee and Chelsea are the two best girls on the show and america realizes that. They need to take a harder look at the guys however and vote better next week. I even took the time to vote this week so as not to lose the ones who deserve to be there. So everyone take the time to watch and vote for the good people!!!!

Getting nervous....will I survive?

So, orientation starts three weeks from today. That means I only have two and a half weeks left of work!!! But that also makes me nervous because that means school is starting in three and a half weeks and I am just so nervous about it now that it is actually here. I mean, yes this is what I have dreamed about my entire life, but now Im so afraid of failing. What if it's not what I was born to do? Just because its what I want to do does not mean it is what God has planned for me. I guess I just have to hope for the best and keep faith that God has led me where he wants me to be.

Vacation!!!!

I am so very excited that on Thursday Isaac, Meredith (my sister in law), Blake (my brother in law), and I will be going on a roadtrip/vacation to Dallas! It is a very much needed vacation as Isaac and I have been working so very much lately and haven't had any fun time in a while. It's also my last vacation before I start law school in 3 1/2 weeks! EEK!!! We aren't doing anything to special because we're what you call poor...but we're gonna go to the Dallas Zoo, and the Aquarium, and shopping, lots of shopping because it's my favorite thing to do. And we're gonna go out to eat and nice restaurants that we don't have in Lubbock, because what fun is it to eat at places you eat at everyday when you are on vacation? But anyway, Im so very excited to be getting out of town if only for a short time and will post pictures as soon as I can!

Belated Honeymoon Bliss...

By belated I mean I'm way late in posting these pictures. In fact we still have a camera from our Honeymoon that has yet to be developed! We're such slackers. Anyway, these are some of my favorite pictures from our honey moon! It was amazing!
