| So I just watched one of my favorite ABC Family movies, Lucky 7. It was the first movie I saw with Patrick Dempsey and I was hooked from the moment I saw him in that bagel shop apron. 
It got me thinking...and that’s usually not a good thing. I had my Discipleship Group meeting with my girls tonight and I think I got more out of it than any of them. We’re reading "When God Writes Your Love Story" and it’s been so refreshing to read it again. it’s so ironic how God will teach you *so* much more than you expected when you attempt to teach someone else.
In the chapters I read in preparation for tonight, it talked about "Learning to love your future spouse even before you meet" and "Romance that’s more than a feeling." I thought I had a good handle on those things before...but God reminded me through one of my favorite chapters in the Bible that love is more than a feeling. It's a choice. It's a commitment. It's the mindset of "I will seek your highest good above my own. I will lay down my life for you." Right now, in my singleness, I should be seeking my future husbands good above my own. I should be honoring him in my actions and conduct. I should be fervently praying for him.
And what is "he" doing right now? Is he living his life in a way that honors me? Is he praying for me? These are questions I *cannot wait* to ask one day.
I think my favorite line in the whole movie was the very end when they hold hands and she said looks at him and says "They fit."
I want my hand to fit with someone's one day. | | |
| Today is February 1st. According to my handy countdown calendar (thank you Mac Dashboard).... Brandon is supposed to come home in 135 more days. AND February is a short month. AND I have plans with friends for next weekend and the last weekend. And then BOOM, it'll be March. 
How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time.
How do you wait for someone to come home from deployment?
One day at a time.
So I'm eating a really, REALLY large elephant...one painfully awkward bite at a time. Can I have some A1 sauce or something?
Other than that, things are ok. I have a job interview next week with the Commuter Club (part of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce). It's hard to explain what the position is...but it's titled the Outreach Coordinator. If I get the job, I'll explain more later.
Happy February!!!!!!!! | | |
| January 11th. According to my computer, Brandon will *hopefully* be home in 156 days. He gave me an approximate date. However...here's some exciting news...he called me TWICE this week! He called me on Sunday to chat for a little bit. I got a mailing address so I can send him care packages and whatnot. We talked online on Tuesday and Wednesday and I told him about my job interview on Wednesday... and then he called me later that afternoon to see how it went!! I was completely ecstatic! Just ask my family.
In other news, I'm still looking for a job. Currently, I'm working at the Lemstone Christian Store, my old high school job. My boss was gracious enough to let me work there until I find something full time. Really though....I think he was relieved to have me back because I'm quick at the register and good with customers and always keep things organized in the store. And I'm one of his favorites to pick on. It's always nice to be needed.
My job interview was a joke. I had this uneasy feeling the moment I walked in. I am definitely not cut out for sales. Nooooo thank you. I've applied at a few banks and make it a goal (well, my parents goal...blah) to contact three people or companies a day. I'm feeling a vent coming up soon...

| Brandon called me this morning from Iraq!!!!! Hooray!! He's got a little bit of a cough, so I'm praying that he feels better soon. June, come quickly!!
Just a FYI for the few of you that read...Brandon is a special friend of mine who is in the Air Force. He was scheduled to go to Afghanistan in February, but back in November, he got re-assigned to go to Bucca, Iraq for 6 months. All of this military stuff is brand new to me, so those of you that have been through it (Lindsay...Steph...), just bear with me through my complaining and frustration.
I need to find something to do weekly that will help pass the time...any suggestions from those that have made waiting an art form? | | |
| So it's pretty much a written-in-stone fact that I love my nephew. I mean, how could you not love someone this adorable??
