Baby?

So, it's out. Karl and I MIGHT be pregnant...

Black.

So I had a major hair dying mis-hap yesterday. I dyed my hair and it was suppose to be dark brown, and it's definitely BLACK.

Karl brought me home some flowers, and our cats have been eating them like it's candy....

Babysitting and ministry

Karl and I babysat the most precious baby boy named Tyler last night... oh boy! What a little doll! It makes me want to have babies in abundance! Half way kidding?

Any who, some exciting things are going on this week. Tuesday (not so exciting) I will spend studying all day. Wednesday is Project Runway finale with Ashelia and husband. And this Thursday we are meeting with Mars Hill about a ministry idea...

Where are we going?

So, I've given up talking badly about people for lent, and let me tell you it's really hard! Even for someone who doesn't struggle with the habit (namely my husband) finds it a hard task to take on. I have already messed up, but I'm trying!

God has really been doing some amazing things in Karl and I lately. After really working through some things, we've figured out how we're putting a lot of it in action. One of the things that we're going to try and take on (which meshes well with my above situation) is not living in competition with others. It's really a lot harder than you'd think.

We're also praying a lot right now about where we're going in our lives. We have a lot of options, and a lot of questions. Like, what exactly do I want to major in? Do I really want to go to school right now in the first place? How and when do we get involved in ministry? When do we have kids? Where do we find good married friends to develop community with? Do we get more involved with the church? Is this where we're suppose to be living? Where is God pointing us?

We're really excited about all these new things happening.

Thankful

So, I've been thinking a lot lately...

and I am realizing that my life is awesome.

I mean it.

Don't get me wrong there are things I don't like, but in general, I've got it great.

I don't work. I just go to school.

I sit around and eat, and cook, and clean, and do home work, and give loves to my husband and animals, and sleep. And that's about it.

And that's pretty good if you ask me....

Day One

My first day/night alone has been awkward. Not terrible, but not good either. It's hard to sleep in what feels like an empty bed regardless to the fact that I have 3 cats and a dog sprawled about it. (not a normal occasion, only in special circumstances as this weekend). On the other hand though, I have started to realize how much Karl does for me, how well we work together as a team, and how much I appreciate him being around. And that's a good thing....

On a less heartfelt note, I have been a homework machine today.

I hate being alone...

Karl and I spent the weekend in Indiana, and while down there my mother bought me $100 worth of clothing! How amazing is that! What a mom, that lady! I also got new glasses (finally!) while down there. and I have to say I'm loving them...

So, Karl is about to leave me for the first time in over a year (basically since this same trip last year) for the entire weekend, to go to spring hill. I have to admit, I'm basically freaking out about being here alone all weekend.
