My Friends...

...how do I describe them?

Amazing

Wonderful

Funny

No, Hysterical is better

They know me pretty well and always provide me with laughs. They encourage me and push me to do things I wouldn't normally do.

They did it last night. After tons of resistance, I went out on a limb and did something I normally wouldn't do. The ending seemed to be pretty good too.

But we will see how that goes. I'm not holding my breath. God has a plan...not me...I've tried to be in control before and it always ends up a mess.

I see it like this....

They say that God should be in the driver's seat of you life. Well, I see it a bit differently. I think of God as my GPS. The GPS gives you directions and tells you where to go. It leads you around diversions and takes you along the safest route possible. It is up to you whether or not you want to follow your GPS. When you do, you know that you will always arrive at your destination. When you decided to go your own way, sometimes you end up back tracking or getting stuck in traffic. So, yes, I am learning to follow my GPS, even though I think I can navigate my way around this life, I don't know what is up ahead.

So, with that said, life may take a change, but as far as I know, at least for the next 3 months, my path is focused on graduation. Once that is over, I may take a new turn or I may not. One can never know which road the GPS will lead you down. I am glad, however, that I do not have to take this journey alone. Yes, I have the Lord, but I also have some incredible friends.

One of Those Days

So, I woke up today and thought that maybe it would be a bad day. Not because of anything, but because of my mindset; I wasn't in the right one. Yet, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't say bummed out. I was alive and kicking. My car got me to work. I was chowing down on a pretty good sausage and egg biscuit...life was pretty amazing at that moment. So then the grouchy mood was gone.

One of the things that got me excited was the fact that I went and saw a play tonight. As soon as I walked into the theatre, a wave of nostalgia hit me. The smell of the theatre was the same and as I looked around the room I began all of the hours spent there. I can go seat by seat and row by row and tell you stories of the first two years of my college years. Then, very quickly, I felt old! I felt like those years had been so long ago...which really, I mean, it was....I graduated there in May of 2006...that is almost 3 years ago!

Speaking of feeling old, some old memories will be brought back to Seattle Mariner fans. Ken Griffey Jr. is going back to Seattle. Hope will be renewed to all of those faithful fans and maybe, just maybe 2009 will be the year!

....maybe he will stay longer than one year....I sure would love to see a game in Safeco! Talk about some nostalgia....Seattle Baseball sure brings back some memories....

Dear Reader....

...This is for you!

I have been informed that I have a reader...or more so I did have a reader. Being that I don't update so often the reader has stopped reading.

So, dear reader, this is for you.

What have I been up to lately? Working and schooling. That is my life. It is tiring but I really really enjoy everything that I am doing right now.

At this moment, I am sitting on my couch watching the biography channel. One of my favorite things to do when no one is home. This episode is about Bernie Mac. It was filmed in 2003, five years before he passed away. I remember when I heard the news. I thought it was a hoax. Made me realize how fragile life is. It is odd when those moments hit you. I've had them a lot. You never know when your last day is going to be...my last day should have been several years ago. Yes, I am one of those people who more than likly should not be here. But I am. It makes me wonder what is in store for me later on in life...obviously I am here for a specific purpose. I don't know what yet though. I cannot wait to see what it is.

Here is to waiting!


On tv now? The biography of Sasha Baron Cohen...and Borat....
