I am...

definitely going to vote today.

looking forward to hanging out with my godmama for a little bit today, and letting her give me insight about what I should do with infertility treatment and faith.

listening to mumford & sons.

and the cat purring.

up early on a day with no school, but that's ok.

glad that sweet hubby still has to work today, since we just took a big financial hit.

trying really hard to give up my worries to God and trust that he will provide (financially and family wise).

annoyed by my messy house.

glad I went for a run yesterday, when it was 20 degrees warmer and so much less grey outside.

ready to register sweet hubby for a full load of classes this spring, after his part time student status this fall.

hopeful that one day he will actually graduate and get a job he loves.

full of chai tea from the dutch store in the mountains -- yum.

deciding which apple dessert to make with the many apples we still have from picking apples a few weeks ago.

going to put the sleeping bags back in the attic.

planning to put up some little shelves in my closet and rearrange a few things around the house.

fixing to cry my eyes out when I meet with my godmama since I'm such a wimp.

trying to focus on how loved I am and how big of a blessing it is that I have people I can turn to (even if it is hard and awkward for me) when I have big questions about what following God should really look like.

hoping you'll pray for me today (and tomorrow, and the next day, too, probably).

ready to get started.

While i'm waiting

I thought i'd let you know that the alarm company called my cell phone tonight, around 9:30 pm. I missed the call. Sweet hubby missed the call to his cell phone, too, but my daddy didn't miss his call. My daddy headed over to my house, freshly armed with the alarm code, and the key he normally has on hand. He called back frantic, because the alarm panel didn't have an "off" button like i'd said it would. I asked him if he was looking at the panel by the closet, or the old one. He said, "There's not a panel by the closet." I said, "between the bulletin board and the closet. Don't you see the new panel?" "No. Oh, here it is, on the floor." Ummmmmmm..... Not what I wanted to hear. He made his way into the living room and asked if we had a tv on the dresser between the bookshelves. Ummmmmm, yes. Well, it's not there anymore. Dad, where is Rayen? Go in the bathroom and find her treats, see if she will come get one...

so far away

Linking up to the Gypsy Mama's five minute Friday.... Chile is so far away. My husband's homeland, the place where he most wants to be. His mama is there, his daddy is there, his brothers and cousins and grandmas and the people who mattered most to him for so so so long are there, and we are here. Here in the very different US, with values thrown at us everyday that seem to say that his childhood was inferior and that returning to a life like that would be the most unwise choice. Here, where the only way to get from one place to another is by car. Here, where without a college degree a "real job" is impossible to come by. Here, where being a legal resident costs thousands of dollars, time, and ridiculous interviews where people question whether you are actually married. Distance is what happens when it is time for the holidays, time to remember family traditions, and the people who are still celebrating them, even though he is far away, thrust into the midst of...

i am...

listening to the deluge outside, glad not to be driving in it anymore. being warmed up by a purring kitty on my lap. curious about what sweet hubby meant when he said on the phone " recien vi una persona atropellada por un auto" and i said, "ok, te amo, chau". exhausted by my kids at school, who are so smart that they think they don't need to listen to directions, and then ask a bajillion questions about what they are supposed to do. dressed for yoga, the first exercise I'll do in a week. So much for running three times a week. I did better on vacation. avoiding packing for my cousins wedding on Friday, since it seems like way too much work after writing sub plans for two days and plans for Monday when I get back, and cleaning up the classroom, and trying to remember all the details of our daily routine for someone who doesn't do it every day. hopeful that this month might be the month, but really doubtful at the same time. I'd love to have prayer...
