Change go'n come.

Basically, I haven't had time to breathe, let alone blog. Whoops. Let's remedy that. 

So the winds of change are filling my backyard, and I've got questions up the freakin' wah-zoo. My job situation is coming along, and I'm quite amazed at how things are falling into place. The thing is, I've got two things falling into place, and don't know if I'm choosing correctly. Or really, is there a "correct" choice at all? 

Choice # 1) The principal at a really great private school called me a couple weeks ago, and asked me to apply for a teaching position that is not even officially open yet, so that I would be sure to have a good shot at the job. whoa.  My childhood best friend, Sandy, teaches at this school, and so does my college buddy, Derek. The job would start in the Fall, which is when my internship ends here. Yeah, that's legit.

Choice #2) The Super-intendant at a private school here in Houston called me last week, and asked me to come in this week to discuss the possibility of being their first ever, Female Chaplain.  Yeah, amazing. I'd basically be the Female youth minister for the school. Incredible. The job would start in August as well. 

AHHHHHH!!! 
Please pray for discernment, and God's control in my life. 

Here am I, Send me.

Spring Break was crazy busy. It wasn't really a break at all. The only thing that the word break conjures up is the torn feeling I've been having in my right shoulder. I don't know, but I think all the photography I've been doing has started to mess with my shoulder. Is that silly? I mean, I for real can't figure out what else could have caused this pain. Luckily, I live with the most generous family, and they are sending me to a physical therapist to get it checked out. (I don't deserve the life I live.)
We did a ton with the youth group over break, and Travis and I are thoroughly exhausted. I am glad to say though, that we got the next two days off. (YAHOO!)

So I'll write more later... 
But as for now,
I'm on my way to dream of the beach and gelato ice cream. 
Yes please.

Night friends.

Thoughts at 2:36am

I have no idea why I'm still awake, but I think it has to do with the fact that I just watched American Idol. I can't clam down. That show just fills me up. 

I still have no idea where I'm going to be by the end of August... and I'm starting to feel like I might end up working at a school. At first I was a bit apprehensive about that, but it's starting to feel better every time I remember that I would have summers and weekends off. Yes Please. I hope I get to move in with Katie and Koko. Koko is a sure thing... but Katie is a necessity. Please Lord. 

I got an iPhone this Monday. 
My life has changed. 
Everyone should have an iPhone.
I also got a purple case for her... to match my macbook and iPod. :)
Yes. I like purple. problem? didn't think so. 



I seem really materialistic huh? Man I sure am blessed.

I got a pedicure today and the color I picked out happen to be really lovely in the bottle, just not quite so lovely on my toes. Dark turquoise turned into florescent green. Whoops. Happy St. Pattys Day.
Also, the ladies at the nail place were really rude to me and my friend. I know I couldn't understand them because of the language barrier, but I could see what they were getting at ya know? Not nice. No thanks Sweet Water Nails.
So then Katie wanted to go get a manicure later. And since today was my day off I went ahead and went with her (I'm so spoiled and I'm almost embarrassed about how wonderful my life is here). Well anyhow, the lady who did my manicure was so friendly. Her name was Susan and she grew up in California by the beach so we talked about missing the water. She also told me about her host Mother (the woman who she lived with when she came from Vietnam as a teenager.) It was wonderful talking with her. So refreshing to have a conversation instead of sitting there akwardly as someone serves me by pampering my hands and feet like I'm some princess. Does anyone else ever feel humiliated when being pampered like that? I do. But with Susan, I felt like I was just visiting with a friend. It was wonderful.

Ok. Completely exhausted.
Sleepin over at Katie's tonight.
