Anyway not much longer to keep up this pace, and I’m ready for it to be over….

Other randomness:

• I finished the Host, and it was sooooo good. I mean, it’s no Twilight saga, but it is a really really entertaining and page turning piece of fiction, and I really loved it.
• It is so cold here right now, but not a lick of snow
• I am totally behind on LOST this year, I’m trying to catch up
• I’m trying to figure out how to transition out of the job I’ve been in for five years… it’s going to be interesting
• I tried taking a multi-vitamin a few weeks ago and I felt terrible from it. This does not bode well for me lol
• March is the “MONTH OF BIRTHDAYS!” Kristin Hesch, Kristin Lynch, Lexi, Danielle (30th!), Amy (25th!), Biz, my cousin Michael, my cousin Kaitlyn …. and my 27th isn’t far behind coming up April 2!
• Our worship band led by my wonderful husband has an actual out-of-town gig coming up! It’s going to be exciting. Although I just realized that I’ll have to miss the Twilight DVD Borders release party on the 21st.
• My sis is growing spiritually like leaps and bounds lately, and I am so honored to be part of her life and watching it all happen. I don’t know where all this will lead, but I can see the hand of God in the situation and I trust He will lead her down the right paths.
• I know a few people who’s jobs have either downgraded or laid them off and its a very scary time. All we can do is pray and wait, its going to be a while before the country gets back on its feet. And I think we all need to stop being so scared . . . I pray that I can do the same.

And lastly, if you are a reader, please leave a comment and say hi, I’d love to know who’s out there. Thanks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!

• i have 7 bridal consults in the next 2 weeks, and i’m happy + overwhelmed but managing better every day as I put it in God’s hands
• the weirdest part about it is how i’m suddenly looking 4 – 18 months into the future and evaluating everything and where will i be then, how will this work, etc. i’m not used to such a long-term outlook.
• a few of my friends have been so supportive during this time and i can’t thank them enough. i know i can be needy and when my friends see it and are there it just makes it all easier.

here are a few pics of my booth from the bridal show, plus a model who had really pretty hair. I have all the materials stored in my basement all wrapped and preserved so I can re-use them next year!

Now I’m just going to keep plugging away and stay warm!
