Blog Ignorer

That's what I am. A blog ignorer.

But it's really good. Because it means I have had other things to do and I have been having fun doing them.

I live with cool roommates. Three girls and two guys and Gabe, currently the first place dog in the contest!! (Keep up the votes until September 10th!)

I got a job that I am starting on Monday as a nanny for two little girls. It's definitely a blessing and a provision. Plus I get nights and weekends off - WHEN HAVE I EVER HAD A JOB LIKE THAT, YOU GUYS?

Zoe's is a coffee shop we are helping get off the ground and running in the next few weeks. (It looks so good inside).



It's almost fall. And that is never a bad thing.

I am making some new friends and reconnecting with the old ones.

My parents live close enough that I can make a weekend visit if I want.

A lot of people wrinkle their nose and scratch their heads when I tell them that I moved BACK here. And sometimes I wonder the same thing. But mostly this place holds a special place in my life. I like the simplicity of this life. I like the down to earth nature of this place. I like that not every luxury is available and at my finger tips. I like being a part of bringing new life back to an old place, and I like the people I am working alongside. Lately, when I am asked how I feel about Jesus right now, I just say 'thankful' and 'blessed'. Because both are so true.

VOTE FOR GABE!



I am sorry that you have to make a stinking account to be able to vote, but I would really appreciate it if you have the time! Everyone is allowed one vote per day, so I think we could easily win if we got a crew of people to pull for Gabe. We could win free training classes and some food/treats!

Rotten Apple...AGAIN

For the second time in its short two-year lifespan, my computer ate it. As in, won't turn on and probably will be completely wiped clean by Apple, ate it. Last time, it was a fried logic board. This incident was eerily similar in nature, so maybe I'm dealing with the same thing again. I am still quite the fan of Apple, but really? Twice in two years? Does anyone else have such luck? (Or should I say lack thereof...)

I will survive. I can deal with not checking my email from my bed, or watching a movie as I go to sleep. I'll get over not being able to edit pictures for a while. But you guys. MY RESUME IS ON THAT COMPUTER. And I need a job. EORTIJLFGJDSLJKFSLDJFKSALDFJKAS

Sometimes, all we can do is suck it up and wait. I have a roof over my head, friends to live and laugh with, and the world's greatest dog. I think that all makes a computer seem a little less important.
