A Movie with the Girls

There's something about going to the movies that I love.  It's an opportunity to just get away from it all.  Distractions and the world disappear for a couple of hours.  What makes a movie great?  Sharing them with someone you love.

Last Saturday I went to Madison to visit with Jeremy and his family.  When Lauren found out that I was planning to go to the movies she quickly asked to go.  I promised Jeremy that if he brought the girls up I would take them to the movies.  The next day, after inviting Gracie to tag along, us girls loaded up and headed to the theater to watch The Tooth Fairy.  Our movie going experience (Gracie's first) was made complete with popcorn, Jr. Mints, and Sour Punch Straws.

God Knows Whats in My Heart

It is comforting to know that God knows what is in my heart.  As long as He knows, that's all that matters.  It took a minute for me to realize this.  I was honestly ready to just spend my days keeping to myself earlier this week, because people misinterpreted something I said.  By the next day I realized that just isn't something I can do, so I gave up that idea.  Then two wonderful people reminded me that God knows where my heart is.  With that reminder I decided that it doesn't matter what people think.  I'm no longer an emotional wreck.  I also no longer have to bite my tongue to keep the peace, because I honestly don't care if people understand me or not.  What a great feeling!!!

Note: As soon as it was brought to my attention how it was interpreted apologies were extended. I hope they were accepted, but I honestly do not think they were. I've done all I can do in that department.  Now all I can do is move on.

Busy doesn't begin to describe it!

Can anyone say stressed?  I stay so busy these days!  I am praying for the day that my old position gets posted and we hire someone in it.  I just pray that person knows academics at State frontwards and backwards so I don' have to train them!!!  It is so stressful trying to keep up with two jobs at work and four graduate level classes.  I never have time for fun anymore.

One positive thing, I am staying on top of working out.  I am really digging P90X.  My body is going to be totally transformed before we head off on our cruise.  I might also mention, so is Scott's!  I can see a huge improvement in both of us already.  He's dropping pounds and building muscle, and I am really toning up!  I have even started seeing some muscle definition in my abs and back (which take longer for me to see results in).  We start week four Monday.  Can't wait for this week!

Now I've got to go study for a test...joy.
