Whew. What a week! I have been ridiculously busy. Victoria has decided to have a crying fit every night for at least an hour and a half, with no explanation. My only thought would be gas...either way, NOT FUN. So anyway, the last week has consisted of 2 doctor's appointments, one for Victoria, one for my eyes. I had Bible study on Wednesday night, Thursday was lunch with my friends Whit and Kristen, and was SUPPOSED to be volleyball with Dave in Clarksburg, but my mom got in late, so I hung out with her. P90X has taken up AT LEAST an hour of my time each day, which SUCKS, but is SOOO awesome. Friday we went shopping at Grandview Outlet in Circleville, then bowling with Will for the first time. He had fun, but a bit over his head still. Today consisted of Kenpo X for P90X, super fun! It was like extreme kickboxing. I will most likely be able to kick someone's butt at the end of this 90 day torture session. Last night we watched Braveheart, for the first time, til 1 in the morning, definitely worth it, though I had to get up again at 3 to feed the baby, and then tonight has been nothing but basketball. Poor VCU, but great run, and great job Butler.
So all in all, it has been a crazy week. I have one week left before I go back to work. I am going to be going to Atlanta soon to train for my new position, so that will be a blast. I have heard great things about this training, not to mention, it's a free plane ride there and back, free hotel stay, great leadership classes, and hopefully my family can come as well. I feel bad for leaving my people and great friends at my old work, but it sounds like it's the right move for me in every way. I am looking forward to putting my words into action, and really turn this store around. So if you are ever in the Dublin area around Sawmill, stop in and say hello!
Now, this is probably a pretty boring post for the most part, but I hadn't logged in all week, and wanted to get something written. I will be updating with some new projects I'm starting, starting with some bubble push pins and bottle cap magnets. I'm excited, have half the materials, and hope to go to Goodwill in Michigan and get the rest. I will also be looking for some do it yourself instructions to make a cool toothbrush holder for my bathroom. I hate the containers that you drop your brush in because the water goes to the bottom and just sits with bacteria. So I want to make something unique to hang off the wall. We'll see what I can come up with!
On a more serious note, before I go to bed, I have been doing a new devotional going with a Bible Study on Wednesday nights called Not a Fan. It's a great series, and I recommend it. As I'm going through new changes with kids, my physical life, and church life, God has been doing amazing things in my personal spiritual life as well. I have had some big walls up in my life, things that Doug couldn't even break through. One of the devotionals asked me to have a conversation with Jesus, telling him some fears and issues that you have and then write down what you would imagine Jesus telling you. Jesus really reassured me that I would have an opportunity to put my faith into action and really step out in faith and allow Jesus to prove Himself to me. I had that chance, and I did, and I tell you that the Lord has really renewed me, broke down walls, and every aspect of my life has never felt so refreshed and pure. I have a whole new level of love for God, Doug and my family. I am so happy the Lord is using this time in my life to renew me and get me ready for whatever He has planned in my life.
That being said, nothing major in my life, just focusing on trying to be the best daughter of God I can, and be as loving and respectful to my husband as he deserves. I want to savor every moment and live every minute as though it's my last, because I don't want to look back and think about the days and times I have wasted. I want to look back and remember how amazing I have had it.
I'm going to bed. Sorry these thoughts are rambled, but I had a lot of little stuff that didn't really go together. So this is my scattered post. Thanks for reading, and I'll organize my thoughts for next time! :)
