Signs?

Ever wonder what God has planned for your life? Lately I have been wondering if the plan I have for my life matches that of what God has planned and I am beginning to believe God has way more planned then I could ever imagine.

Quarter One

I can't believe the quarter is almost over....when did that happen. Next week is finals and next Thursday I jump on a plane and head to see the family. Kind of nervous to take my first flight since coming back from Ukraine when I swore I wouldn't take another flight in a long time (4 flights in 32 hours was too much). :-) At least flying from Phoenix to Seattle is only 3 hours.

If only I could take the great people from here and the great people from home and put them all in one place..that would make life much better!

Memories....

Memories of love, loss and beauty.
Memories of triumphs, faults, and failures.

No matter how big or small
No matter how good or bad.
Your memories will always be yours.

Gifts

Life is a blessing in disguise,
Filled with so many wonderful things
Life brings along it's path, friends
In all their beauty

Friends, as well as family, are gifts from God
It is a reminder to us that we are loved
And as long as we have friends and family we will be loved
Life is a gift from God so cherish every moment!

Ponder this!

1) Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun every year.
2) How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you are on and if the bathroom is closed for cleaning.
3) Birthdays are good for you; the more you have the longer you live.
4) Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
5) Ever notice that the people who are late are often much jollier than the poeple who have to wait for them?
6) Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us.
7) If Walmart is lowering prices everyday, how come nothing it free yet?
8) You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
9) Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
10) Don't cry because it is over; smile because it happened.
11) We could learn a lot of crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors...but they all exist very nicely in the same box.
12) A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Take joy in the little things in life!

I miss the rain

I miss the tapping of rain on my window,
the smell after the first fall.
I miss splashing and jumping in each puddle I see,
I miss the rain.

The cool mist that breaks your cheek unexpectedly on a warm day
the sand beneath my toes.
The crispness of the air,
I miss the rain.

I miss the quiet times
The times when the world stood still while the rain fell
I miss how new everything felt,
I miss the rain.

The rain brought peace
where is the peace without the rain
The rain made everything clear and pure
I miss the rain.

Tears on my pillow...

Have you ever had one of those nights where you cry yourself to sleep? I am pretty sure most people have. I am not sure what brought it on but last night was one of those nights for me.

Blessed!

Those of you who know me know that I am a giver to the core. This typically envolves making treats of some sort and giving pretty much all of them away. This is one thing in life that brings me pure joy. I love to make sure that other people knwo that I appreciate them and feel blessed to know them.

Okay, so the real reason for this post. Have you ever has one of those jobs where you are just excited to go to work? This has happened a few times in my life and it seems like when it does happen it is because the people you work with are just outstanding. I currently have a job like that. I love the 2 gals I work with! Every time I go to work I know that what I am doing matters and that these gals appreciate having me there. Working with them is so much fun. It is like they are my familiy away from my family. So great!

Change is GREAT!!!

So I was bored this afternoon when I got home from school and really didnt want to study yet so I decided it was time to rearrange my room. I do this from time to time and this probably wont be the last although with little room to move things around it probably wont change by much.

Here are the before and after pictures.

Where my desk used to be....

...Is where my bed has taken up residence.


and where my bed used to reside...



...is where I will now study.



I think I will like this layout much better. Much better lighting and my room now looks huge! Change is GREAT!
