Back in Action!

Woot, ok so I'm back and I'm a married woman. There's obviously a lot to update about, but right now I'm at work, and I'd really like to do a full update with pictures, unfortunately I don't have any here...

I'm waiting for 37 booklets to copy... they're taking forever!!! Oh I failed to mention that each booklet has 67 pages of alphabets to trace, dot-to-dots, and number games. Super cute, but a pain in the bum.

People have asked me if I'm bored now that all the wedding planning is over... not bored ... sometimes I'm not sure what to do with some of the extra time I have now (which is splendid, because I actually HAVE extra time) but we've now switched projects. We will be moving soon, but we're not sure where to yet... We're also currently contemplating buying a condo so that our monthly payments are more of an investment rather than giving someone rent... We'll see how that pans out. We're going to look at a rental place tonight.

Anyways the copy machine is telling me it needs more paper, and there are only 2 more packets to go, so I should tend to it... But just in case anyone was wondering, I'm home, we survived the wedding mayhem and honeymoon adventure, and would be more than happy to hear from people. I will post pics soon :)

Ch-ch-ch-changes! (Yeah David Bowie)

So here I am at work, on my lunch break, finally with some time to blog. I just read Heather's blog and was inspired... I started thinking about the paths that God takes us, and how everything changes - sometimes in big ways and other times in subtle, less noticeable ways... In the past few months I've talked to a handful of old friends: at weddings, through email, or just in passing out in "the world". It's so strange to look back and remember how close we once were. In a safe little world - high school, youth group... All of it now seems so safe. Sheltered even. It's like graduation creates some sort of explosion, propelling people all directions. In a way it makes me sad (I've never dealt with change well) and in another way it makes me excited to see where my friends and I might "explode" to next.

Everywhere I look there are people going through significant life changes. Whether it's weddings, babies, jobs, or relationships, life is constantly changing. It boggles my mind how some people can't see God's hand in it all. It's so obvious! And so exciting...
