Strenght will rise as we wait upon the Lord, Wait upon the Lord...
No kidding, my phone just rang and it was BB saying my phone is ready. Maybe whatever I type here will come true...Like a wishing well.
And then I got a call that I won the lottery without even playing **eyes closed, fingers crossed...waiting....**
.....
well, that didn't work. SHOOT! ;-D
I'm waiting on someone to call me about a thing that's very important. WOW! Was that the most vague sentence I've ever muttered in my LIFE?? I think so!
I'm waiting for football season to start. If you're not new to this blog (and let's face it--why would you be??) (and if you ARE new then I'm sure you didn't even make it this far in my ramblings!) then you know that I'm not just talking about ANY football...I'm talking about Number 1 Ranked, National Champions--University of Alabama Football. ROOOOLLLLLLL TIIIIIIDE! :) It starts next weekend...but the game is Pay Per View. So, I guess we'll be hovering around the radio like people used to do before TV was invented. Oh well. Last season I went into work to listen to the game on my work computer b/c the one at home wouldn't pick up the radio station! So, I sat at work on a Saturday and did a little work and every once in a while you'd hear "YESSSS!" echo down the hallway. Oops.
Then there are bigger things I'm waiting on. Things that I just have to trust God for. Things that I know will come eventually, but aren't here yet. And things that I don't want to RUSH, but I just get curious about. Like who I'm going to marry. I wonder who that will be. I wonder what he'll look like and what his name is. I wonder (and hope) that he makes me laugh all the time. I wonder if I'll know right away (like people always say) or if I'll just grow to know. I wonder if he's going to be outdoorsy or indoorsy. I wonder if I'm going to have kids? I wonder if I'll feel like I have to RUSH to have kids b/c I was "older" when I got married. I wonder how it'll feel to be a mother. I wonder if I'll be as good a mother as my sister is.
Almost everyone I know (from my past or even from my present) is married. Now, I know that I don't want to rush into a marriage. That married life is hard and I want to take my time to make sure I make the right decision. But now things are shifting to where everyone I know who's married is now having a baby. I can honestly say that I'm nowhere near ready to have a baby...but I wonder how different my life would be.
ANYWAY, I know that God has a plan and I'm not worried about it. I'm just curious.

It's my Birthday!
So, I went home for a Whirlwind Birthday Weekend last weekend and although my trip lacked a certain element of sleep, it was a really good time! Saturday I got to play all day with Mom, Heather and the kids and then we ate at O'Charleys (one of my favorites!) and then had ice cream cake! YUMMM!
The family also went WAY above and beyond and gave me a laptop (they said they got a really good deal) for my birthday! Since the computer I have been using is about 60 billion years old it was the perfect gift! I have been spoiled by the Acer. :)
Also, the family gave me a Nalgene bottle that looks like this:
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE Alabama fan. Living where I do, bama fans are few and far between so I love to show off my Bama Pride as much as possible. So, i LOVED this bottle! And who knows--maybe this will actually prompt me to drink more water! (I'll probably end up filling the bottle with Diet Coke instead! haha! just kidding---sort of.)
See the little slice of cake sitting there next to the bottle? That would be Banana Nut Bread. Brian (my boss) makes it for me on special occasions because he knows I love it! So this year he made me some for my birthday! Isn't that thoughtful? I know, I am lucky! I have the best boss in the world!
Also, not for my birthday but just because I she's nice one of the administrative assistants brought in these flowers for me today! I LOVE brightly colored flowers!!

Hello Again
It's been almost a complete year since I last wrote. I was going to start using a different blog, but Heather and I never found the time to create it. So, here I am again.
I got a little burnt out on the whole blogging scene last year. I felt like I had nothing good to say and for some strange reason I felt pressure to put out good material. And, let's face it, I'm constently mediocre at best. So, I took a break and I'm feeling much more like myself. Let's see...what can I tell you?
1.)I have moved. I still live in the same city, but I moved to a different suburb and I'm so happy about it. We finally got out from under our (CRAZY!) landlord and moved into an apartment complex. It's very nice and has painted walls.
Yes, you read that correctly. I hate white walls. They make me feel like I'm in an institution.
2.)Jules and I have started running. We began our jogging journey in about February, 2010 and we're still working on it. Our goal is to do a 5k race in November. We'd LOVE to run a 10k, but considering we started running 30 seconds and now we're running 20+ minutes at a time, I think we'll just be proud of whatever we can finish!
3.) I got my hair cut. And Highlighted. See Picture at top right to see new hair.
4.) I turn 26 tomorrow. Well, that's not really new news, because my birthday hasn't changed. I just thought I'd share.
5.)Zorro (my car) broke down and was fixed by my friend's husband. I call him Hunky Julio.
6.)I passed my test to be a Certified Paraoptometric. yay!
I hate to stop on a weird number like 6, but I can't think of anything else to say.
Today a patient that might just be the man of my dreams is coming in. So, I'll let you know if it's love at first sight! haha!
:) Talk to you again soon!
