Hello. I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been working, hanging out with Adam, “planning the wedding” and “working on my music”. The latter two are in quotes because I’ve more been thinking about doing them a lot and not actually doing anything then feeling bad that I haven’t. We really are in pretty good shape right now with wedding planning, though, so I should chill.

Adam found plane tickets for the honeymoon today, and we are going to try to extend it a week by staying with Jeff and Meg in Long Beach after our week in Mexico. I’m never going to want to go back to work. Really, I don’t even want to right now except that we need the money.

Work has been interesting. I dread it, and I’m thankful for it. It’s a strange combination. It’s lately been a rough working environment. But, somehow I have found myself in the position to hear everyone’s thoughts, personal struggles, and prayer requests while I sit in the back and run the copy machine. I feel that though it has not been fun work-wise, I am sharing in the lives of many co-workers, and that is good preparation for the ministry that Adam and I are preparing to do.

Really, whether it is with my music, my travels, or my work relationships, I want to serve God and be available to God as He draws people to Himself. “Who knows but that [we] have come to royal position for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14.

We’re excited to be in the thick of some exciting and scary things.

I’m still alive…but I think that Ward and Marlene are our only regular readers, so I don’t think any one was terribly concerned. I’m just about tech’ed out for today. I’ve been wrestling with this silly machine all afternoon trying to set it up so that all of my e-mail goes into Mozilla Mail. I thought it would be simple. Computers are funny- the things that would take weeks to do by hand are done in microseconds; the things that would take seconds if done by hand take hours or years! O, the absurdity. I think it’s about time to go home.

ahh… 70 degree weather in February… thank you God for Tennessee. Well, maybe it’s 65. Oh, and it’s March, not February. It’s nice, whatever it is. I met Adam at his work for lunch, and we had sandwiches in the park across the street. lovely.

I was on time for work today, and that made the whole day nice. Tonight we’re going to an opening of an art exhibit then Adam’s parents are coming over to my house to see the painting studio we set up for Adam in my living room. It’s great.

If only today were Friday.

It’s been a while. I’ve been busy and overwhelmed. It’s hard to work full time– let alone work full time, plan a wedding, spend time with my love, spend time with friends, find a new home for my dog (which I finally did last week), be a musician, get in shape, keep my house clean, be involved at church, sleep enough, eat, read, pay bills, and return phone calls and emails. So here I am at work again, trying to collect. I think it’s okay. Work has been really really bad the last few weeks. People are demanding, impatient and unappreciative. I’ve had an attitude, though, too. I talked with my boss today about my frustrations, and that was good. I just wish work weren’t quite so busy, because I’m really not here because I like to make copies. I stick around because I like the people, but when it’s so busy, I can’t even talk to anyone. Then it seems I would be better off working at a grocery store or something. Then I could talk to people.
