bullets.

  • The marriage seminar was cancelled. It that a sign? I have been trying to get to one for, oh 5 years, and for the first time, it all fell so perfectly into place... Go figure. I know there must be something terribly wrong for the speakers to cancel, so I have been praying for them.
  • I had to do some 'professional development' course tonight. Blah. Blah. Blah. I work at a preschool. I don't understand why it's so necessary for me to listen to 3 hours of pool safety in November...
  • I made this awesome spaghetti tonight. At the onset, I thought it would be disastrous. I almost never make spaghetti, but I bought a spaghetti squash. (Which I totally recommend) Then I realized that I didn't have any jars of sauce... So I ended up making the sauce from scratch. Now I'm hooked. I don't wanna brag but everything is better from fresh... :)
  • I am soda-free today. OY! I just want a diet 'anything carbonated' right now.
  • I was able to do something that meant a lot to me today. I lent my wedding dress to a girl who is pregnant and getting married. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see her face light up and to hear her say she felt like Cinderella. She said it took some of the sadness out of her big day - I may be one of the only people she could have said that to who completely understood what she meant. A girl's wedding day is supposed to be the most wonderful moment of her life - But when you are keenly aware that everyone is informed of your situation... The happy thoughts take a backseat to the shame. I just have to believe that my experience with those types of circumstances will add to whatever ministry I have. Today was really a good day because of that smile on her face. I am so thankful for that opportunity to, in some small way, minister acceptance to her. Thank you Father!

That's pretty much my day in nutshell.

Oh and - tomorrow is Friday!!

Okay. Seriously. How is it possible that you had no canned sauce, yet you have all the ingredients necessary to make real, from scratch sauce? Seriously.

You rock my world.

I am sitting here scratchin my head.

"I am not a good cook..."

I hate your phone and the fact that 240 miles separate us, so I cannot come knock on your door to talk to you. Grrr!!! Stupid phone!!

I loved your wedding dress story. Isn't it funny how when we feel awful about life, just putting on something beautiful and feeling beautiful makes it a little better? Did I mention how much I miss you? I want you to put us in your schedule ASAP. Thanks!
