Midwest Living

I love the fall. It is so beautiful and this weekend was exactly what the doctor ordered! After a crazy busy week, I had a relaxing and perfect weekend. First, the body shop party was FUN!!!! Rachel had a sleep over and really fun people at her party. Some I knew, some I didnt and it was just a good time. I loved it :) And, people actually bought some stuff...so that is really good too!! :)

Let's see...then, I got home, to JAMOS!! He decided to come visit me and so, when I got back from the party, he was here...and feeling really sick! Poor guy has a cold :( So, I medicated him and we hung for a while before he went to the place he stays in SA.

Saturday morning, I cleaned up, had lunch, got ready, went to a soccer game at SAU ( we won in OVER TIME!!)- then, walked around campus so I could show him his brick that was his graduation gift.
After this, we went to the mall...went to the grocery store so I could make lasanga (it was rainy and gross outside...) and, so we went to the store, came back and I tried to make some lasanga...couldnt remember how to do this...so, it was basically lasanga soup. It was gross. Then, the bread we got to go wtih it...well, the bread didnt rise, so it cooked really really flat...and was alright tasting. HaHa. Always makes us laugh when I try to cook.

Today was a blast! And, we have pictures to show it! Jamos and I went to church, then out to eat at Bob Evans after a short trip to Target to look at CD's. After this, we were going to go hike at the park...but, on our way there, we noticed the FALL FESTIVAL!!! We love the fall festival and how I forgot that it was happening this weekend is beyond me!! I love it. So, we walked around and stopped in the old school house...looked at the old cars...watched a guy make these really cool brooms...played in the pumpkin patch. it was awesome!!!! then, we went hiking in the woods and I took my shoes and socks off and went in the little stream.We took photos and just had a blast!!!! So, here are the pictures...

Party Time!

Last night I had a Body Shop party at my friend Rachels. I was really worried that I would be SO tired and not be able to function- but I did good!!And it was SO fun. :) Good times...then, I was able to come home and tend to my sick boyfriend who decided last minute to come visit me. That was nice, but, he is sick, so I really hope that I do not get sick as well. He left for the place he was staying the night and I was able to get some rest...until 11 am this morning!!! I was like WHAT!! I dont know when the last time I slept that long.

Today I am hoping to take it easy and maybe take a hike in the woods at the park and/or go to Flavor Fruit Farms because Laura the ELEPHANT is going to be there!!! :)

Just a restful day/night and spend good time with my man, because I need it!

extreme

I am extremly exhausted. This past week has been insane. SAU hosted the Christian College fairs 3 nights in a row- in Jackson, Toledo and Detroit (Novi) and it was SO much work and so crazy. I have not ever done this before, so being in charge (with great co-workers) is pretty crazy. It turned out well- we had a ton of issues after the fair last night in Toledo- but maybe I will share at some point. Lets just say, we didnt get home til 12am (or later) and we should have been able to get home at 10:30. And...it is my fault! So, yah. it was crazy.

I feel like this week just kicked my butt...in every area. Not just physically, from moving tables and chairs and boxes and such- not just emotionally, from being too busy to even think of my own 'self' but, in areas that are closer to the heart, which I guess could be emotional, but at this point I have no energy left to be emtional. But, i feel like although Ihave been SO tired and crazy, my heart is still able to be hurt by words and actions of friends and people whom I thought were my friend. It sucks. Literally, I mena, the best word to describe it is SUCKS.

Anyways, i am just typing in a dreary and tired state, but I wanted to post and I want people to know I am alive and kicking- although, I feel like kicking SOMETHING.


I want the world to know I have GREAT co-workers who work REALLY hard and do an AWESOME job at what they do. :) thanks guys for making this week happen.

And...also, today is my 1 year, 6 month anniversary of dating Jamos. Crazy eh? I have never had one of these anniversaries...so, it is pretty cool even if I am the only one who thinks it is cool.

:)

Oh, last night, when we got home from Toledo, I thoguht I was going to DIE! I woke up all night long feeling like I was going to throw up- like, sweating and cold and just feeling HORRIBLE! So, i am thankful to God, for healing my body, so that I could go to detroit and get this college fair stuff out of the way! :)

sit in the stillness

I had a fun time at church this morning- I met my friend Rachel again today, her husband is in the worship team and was playing his guitar- so, we met up, got coffee and went in for some worship. He was talking about how poluted with noise our lives are...how you can't get just pure silence with no interuptions of planes, cars, phones, voices, you know what I am talking about- so, anyways, the lights were off, the video stopped, no one spoke...listening for God's whisper on our lives! It was pretty neat.

After that, I came home (I went to the early service) and started working on my mom's birthday gift! Her Birthday is the 30th- and so, I worked really hard and got it all done! well, only 1 more thing left to do and that will be okay- So, I was able to to do that- didnt get to clean up or anything, but I did run the dishwasher! :)

Now, I popped in a movie and started placing some Body Shop orders. I didnt realize they wouldn't have the same products in the old catalog and so, my mom has the spring/summer catalog and that is what everyone is ordering out of and I have to try to make it all work out. Kinda crazy. :( I dont really like it. It stresses me out. and I dont like stress:)

SO...that is where I am at right now! :)

Ready for a busy week? I dont know...
