Oh my goodness, it has been wayyy too long since I've written. So much has been going on. Matt and I moved into our new apartment. We have been loving our position here, we have met lots of great people and hurting people as well. It has been such a blessing to be able to be there for the people who have been hurting. I can't believe how much of an opportunity is here to help lead people to faith. Anyway, so our events have been going well too! We have had two football parties, two game nights, two breakfasts, and this Thursday we have a pumpkin carving night :)
So on to the part that I'm not too happy about. So Matt and I haven't been doing well financially. Primarily because our savings have been depleted from one year of me not working. He has a TON of dental bills that are about to be rolling in. And our stupid electricity was overcharged to us for three months this summer. So lets just say it's been one thing after another. So I finally decided that even though we have free rent right now, that I would get a part time job until the end of February. Just with my cousin having a baby, and Christmas coming up, we really need the money. Not to mention that I basically have NO clothes. So I applied and prayed, and the next morning I got a call from Tarrant Count MHMR, for a Family Intervention Specialist position. This is good because I'll be working out of the office, and seeing clients, and it is PART TIME, so I can make my schedule. So my interview is on Monday.
I have been really slacking at school...:( My grades haven't suffered yet, but I fear that they will soon.
AND, I just went to the doctor yesterday about a lump that has been under my arm for three years now, and he "doesn't think it feels like cancer." And all I could think was "why in the world would you say that word, I wasn't even thinking that". Anyway, so I have to go to the surgeon so he can take a look at it. Hopefully, I won't need surgery, but it hurts sometimes, so who knows. Anyway, that's about all. I'm a little frazzled because I have a million things to do.
That's all for now :)

Moving On...
You know how the past couple of years I've always complained about the million and one things I have to do. I've decided to stop doing that. I do have problems with saying no, that's for sure. And I do help out when I am the one that needs help the most. But, with all that being said, it is difficult to believe how all these things started happening at once. Very much so like when I was working at the dorm.
First, my pastor asked Matt and I to start serving every Sunday and to do it in the Children's lab. This is kind of like Sunday school for k-6 grade. This makes me a little nervous because I'm not fabulous with kids, and it's every Sunday.
Then, I had three people from my classes that have asked for tutoring help, or job hunting help.
Then, we finally got this new job where to serve at an apartment complex, and we decided to begin early. So we are moving next weekend, painting to apartments, and starting a new job.
So we have to train for this new job. Plan for all of our upcoming vacations (anniversary, and how we are going to pay for the holidays)
I have all the same school assignments.
Plus we joined a lifegroup that meets every Thursday.
Plus our book club that meets once a week.
Plus I have to learn how to quilt/sew/maybe a refresher on knitting.
Whoa...I'm already getting a headache.
At least I have my prayers. I feel like so many opportunities have come in my life to exercise my prayer power, but it's hard to remember sometimes. Maybe the spiritual journal that we have to keep for work will help :) Anyway, these are just a few things on my mind lately.

Learning Proper English
Ok so I feel like the biggest letdown to technological history. I have probably commented on my friend In's blog like fifty times and just tonight realized that this blogging forum asks for a verification ID. I never noticed it before. So I've probably left her like 230958203958 comments, and she hasn't received any of them. Boo! So to my lovely traveling friend Inbal: "I miss you, and unfortunately you missed out on some great comments. But not to worry, I won't make that mistake again!" Ok for the rest of you who don't care about my stupidity, I shall carry on with my life and no longer wallow.
So guess who's going to be an author/journalist/columnist? I'll give you a hint, she likes speaking in the third person, and making people guess things she's going to tell them anyway. That's right, you are talking to someone who was just offered free range writing with a newspaper called the "Disciple Life Journal" (not sure about the quotations with newspaper, I think it's supposed to be Italicized my bad). What is this newspaper about you may ask? Well It's basically a counseling perspective newspaper about Christian living. Not very fluffy and warm fuzzies like most Christian magazines, but more about real topics. And since pretty much no one ever reads this blog I'm going to discuss some of my articles that I will be working on. So far I've decided on discussing the following:
*Christian Cohabitation, what the Bible says and what's practical
*An interview with my sister-in-law about being an artisic Christian in a community of mostly atheists
*My life story basically, from booze to Bible :) haha this makes me laugh
*And what it's like beinga newlywed...and everything that comes with.
So I'll post my first article as soon as it's written. I'm not going to lie, I'm extremely excited. I do often get tired of very warm fuzzie Christian writing. Sometimes I feel like there isn't any depth or soul to their testimonies. I'm hoping to not sound like I'm on prozac or holding a "Come to Jesus meeting" :)
Anyway, I'm pretty thrilled. Also, my classes are a breeze right now. So that's fun. And packing hasn't commenced yet, primarily out of procrastination, but what can ya do? That's all for now.

Love stinks...yeah...yeah
Ok so I love my husband and yatah yatah. BUT we NEED a king sized bed. He has a very sweaty gluteus maximus, and enjoys cuddling too much for my liking. I've decided that if he didn't like football and sex so much that he would HAVE to be gay. But that's ok, I love him very very very much and i just have to remind myself of that when I stay up until three in the morning because I can't sleep because he breathes too heave and I have too lay in a pool of man juice. Ok this is really an exaggeration but I can't stand not sleeping the whole night through, and sleeping at odd hours.
On a more positive note, it seems as though this apartment in Bedford is going to work out. So we might have the interview next Thursday, and we couldnt' be happier. A new living situation wouldn't be the worse thing for us, to be honest I'm just excited about the job and the money.
School seems to be ok, I'm a little nervous about some of my assignments this semester, but it will all work out.
I was able to spend almost all day yesterday with Sarah. We were just gossiping and laughing about everything in our lives. I have missed hanging out with her, and she looks so happy since she dumped her scumbag boyfriend.
I've also concluded that our cats are the most needy cats in the world. Sometimes I wish I was back in Arizona just lounging by the amazing pool soaking up the rays. But that's ok I LOVE the fall, and Matt and I are planning a Bed and Breakfast vacation for our anniversary.
That's all for now.

To move or not to move
I haven't kept a blog in over three years. I used to be a regular writer on xanga and even have now extracted my posts and saved them, because it was basically my online diary. I think the concept of opening your heart and sharing your thoughts so one sidedly, becomes more personal than even email. I do enjoy my time on facebook, but this will be something new and something that I can call my own. I've been writing my novel again recently. Only this time it takes place in a different setting, not sure if that is a cop out, but the characters are the same. The inspiration just keeps coming to me, and I feel like if I don't put my time and energy into it, than it won't ever get completed. I might even post some of the pages I have so far. Anyway, on to the regular things in life.
So after many months of struggling to be accepted into CARES teams we finally got an apartment offer. This one hopefully will go through.
School begins again on Monday. My whole two weeks of vacation was so not long enough, but Matt and I had an amazing time in Arizona. We went shopping, saw a movie, went to the grand canyon, ate delicious food paid for by his company, went swimming, and made out in our own private hot tub. It was aweful to drive all the way out there, but his company paid us to do it, so there were benefits there. My class schedule is as follows:
*Psychological testing-Mon night
*Career Counseling-Mon night
*Research Methods-Tues night
Today is Sarah's birthday, so we might go to dinner with her and her family. It always sucks to have long lapses without seeing your friends, because than I feel like I have to play catchup in their lives, and I feel like such a bad friend, like I should have known all that stuff already. That's all for now :)
