Related

So, I have a new show I watch thanks to Valerie's tivo. I must admit that it is highly addicting to be able to fast forward commercials and record shows to watch whenever you want!

Anyways. The show is called Related and it's about four sisters. It's really funny and also serious at times. The best thing about the show is their relationship and how they are always there for each other. It makes me wish I had a sister. But, I will say, though I don't have a sister, I have great friends and cousins that have filled the role in many ways.

Casting Crowns

I went to the Casting Crowns concert last night.

It was really good.  There were several songs
that had very good lyrics.  Here is one of them.



Is there anyone that fails

Is there anyone that falls

Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small

Cause when I take a look around

Everybody seems so strong

I know they’ll soon discover

That I don’t belong

So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay

If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too

So with a painted grin, I play the heart again

So everyone will see me the way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people

Under shiny plastic steeples

With walls around our weakness

And smiles to hide our pain

But if the invitation’s open

To every heart that has been broken

Maybe then we close the curtain

On our stained glass masquerade

Is there anyone who’s been there

Are there any hands to raise

Am I the only one who’s traded

In the altar for a stage 

The performance is convincing

And we know every line by heart

Only when no one is watching

Can we really fall apart

But would it set me free

If I dared to let you see

The truth behind the person

That you imagine me to be

Would your arms be open

Or would you walk away

Would the love of Jesus

Be enough to make you stay

Band aid Burn

So this morning I took off the band aid where I had gotten my blood drawn yesterday. I was shocked to see a raised area that was blue and purple. It looked like I had been bit or something. Apparently I had a reaction to the band aid. Odd. Anyone ever had that before?!

Recruitment Strategist

Today I accepted a new job position. It is a Recruitment Strategist for Florida Hospital. I will be working with one of my good friends and working close to my apartment.

Broken

Today is a sad day. Many things that I had been hoping for and excited about for a long time came crashing down. I know God is still in control and it's a good thing, because I'm not, but I just don't understand His timing sometimes. There are so many things that I don't understand. It frustrates me and I am disappointed and sad.

Not what I expected

So, I'm in Orlando now. And I have to say, it's not what I pictured in my mind. I feel a bit lost. I'm glad to be here and all. But things have changed since I left. Maybe I've changed some. I don't really know. Everything is stressful right now. I feel like people have all of these expectations of me. And I'm so tired. It's hard for me to feel like I measure up right now. I guess everyone goes through phases like this. I'll probably feel better once I get my job straightened out and my apartment more lived in.

75 degrees and sunny

Today is a lovely day. As mentioned in my title the weather is perfect. I heard Chattanooga got snow this morning. :)

My dad and I drove down on Saturday. It was a pretty good drive. Bisous did well but I think she was glad to get out of the car.

Last night I watched the Superbowl. I didn't really care for either team, but since my dad and Kevin voiced strong opinions against the Steelers, I decided to root for Seattle. Unfortunately things did not go well for them. The commercials were disappointing. I think one year the Superbowl had great commercials, which gave girls something fu to say about the game. "Yeah, I don't watch it for the game, I watch it for the commercials." But maybe that was just a one time thing. Because this year, they were kindof dumb, and I don't remember last year being that great either.

Overall it was fun though. We watched the game under little heaters outside on a projection screen by the pool. If you're going to watch the game, that's a good way to do it.

Anyways. My stuff comes tomorrow so hopefully everything will arrive in tact.

My friend Kenny Willes got married last month. His website has a great slideshow of the pictures for anyone who is interested.
