Bullet Points for Blogs

I’m not entirely sure how to organize what I want to say into an actual blog right now, so I’m going to make a list of thoughts instead.

-The scent of my perfume is reminding me of Christmas for some reason (maybe because I received my first bottle from my sister for Christmas a few years ago?) and I cannot wait. It’s my favourite time of year. Eeeeee!

-I love my new boots with a passion that I have never had for any shoes previously. It’s ridiculous.

-Fog is definitely one thing I absolutely LOVE about cold weather. Lately, when I take Chewie out at 5-6am, the huge trees surrounding our house are shrouded in fog with their branches barely peaking out. The near-by street sounds are muffled, and the smell of camp-fire fills the air. I’ve suddenly realized that I love living where we do - for the first time in nearly five years. That’s a good feeling.

-Chewie is at work with me, and he LOVES being here. You should stop by and say “hi” to him (and me) if you’re in the area (Yay Nate!).

-I am really enjoying my job right now, and Ryan might be getting a promotion to banker soon. Prayers please?! :D

- I cannot wait to pay off our student loans (5-year plan begins in December…scary).

-It is nice not having homework. I mean, REALLY nice. It feels so free. I can do whatever I want, and leave work at work. Yay!

-I’m really working on discipline right now in many areas of my life. It’s a tough lesson, but I’m seeing rewards already, and boy, that feels good. It’s all about relinquishing control, isn’t it? It’s nice to know I’m not in charge, and I don’t have to be, but I do have to be disciplined in everything that I do.

-I cannot express how much I love UPC, and how very much last week’s service affected me. I was in tears through the entire service. I’m not sure why, but I know it has something to do with feeling utterly taken care of, and knowing that it has nothing to do with anything I have done or will do. I feel like I just want to burst into tears thinking about it. I have never felt such a strong sense of peace about this before. It’s funny. At a time when the economy isn’t getting any better, and our bills are huge and hard to handle due to loans coming up, I just feel great about it all. It doesn’t make sense. Freedom in surrender, I suppose.

Well, I think that’s all for now. Hurray for the weekend!
