you ever just have one of those weeks? where you just don't feel right about anything? there's a line in a josh bales song that says, "something is wrong, and nothing is right." well, that's how i feel right now....

on another note, we had some serious ice and snow this week! so much so, in fact, that school was cancelled yesterday! i got a call early in the morning to let me know that we were closed. i had already been up for awhile because i could hear all the sidewalk shovelers and car scraping, and had been thinking about how difficult it was going ot be to get to work. i was not looking forward to it. but God had other plans and knew i needed the day off. how wonderful. so i spent my day trekking (sliding) around town to run a few errands and see the city in the snow. now, while it was treacherous at times to be outside, it was beautiful. i really, really love the snow.

yesterday, on my snow day, because i was up so early i read a book that i borrowed from a friend -- "same kind of different as me." i was pretty sure that i would like it just from what i had heard and from the synopsis on the cover. i loved it. one of the best books i've read in a long time. i finished it in just a few hours. and cried the entire way through the book. please read it. i can't really express everything i feel about it well right now. but i strongly encourage you to read it.

other random things to know.....
*yesterday while reading, i realized that i haven't been reading enough. so hopefully i'll be able to start again soon.
*i joined a book club. i'm a little nervous, but also excited.
*i found a little yarn shop down the street a bit from our new offices that offers knitting classes. i'm seriously considering signing up.
*i made chicken noodle soup for the first time yesterday. i think it was pretty good for my first attempt at soup making.
*the internet guy is coming tomorrow!!
*i truly and completely miss my really close friends being so close to me! sometimes it's hard not having y'all around to go get some coffee with or just see in person and give you a hug....
*i'm ready to be able to wear dresses and skirts again.
*i love esther.
*the book fair is at work this week....that means trouble for me.....i'm a sucker for children's books....

love....

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
