so maybe i'm a dummie!

So I sent a resume in for this really exciting job - i really like finding jobs that i get excited about, knowing it will present a challenge, knowing it could possibly be more than I can currently handle, but then realizing that i'm pretty resilient and want a challenge so i can grow and get better.

So I send in my resume and take their little test they've prepared - Ace the test! yay! except i forget to pick the resume w/ my salary requirements in it which is a requirement for them to even look at the resume - it obviously states that any sent in w/out this will be automatically disregarded.... GRRRR! well I guess on that one - it'll be up to God to intervene because it won't even let me resend it... - but at least the first resume is out there, that was a start i suppose.

This should be another interesting ride! You know what a fan of adventure I am...
Buckle your seat belts!

Friends

So last weekend I went down to good 'ole Austin. I was supposed to be in Abilene celebrating a late Christmas with a family that i've adopted and been adopted into but some things happened and they had to go out of town - so a friend invited me down to Austin - not like I really needed an invitation - but I got one and thought.. huh I could go to Austin - so I helped my Mom ring in her 50th birthday on New Years Eve, got up on Thursday and eventually made my way down I-35. I met up with Angela, Clay and Kelly on Thursday for dinner - it was an interesting place... not sure that any of us would go there again.... and then for Ice Cream at Amy's!! We eventually made it back to my friends house where we all parted ways and headed to bed - I was VERY tired!!!

On Friday I got up and got ready to go see one of my favorite families in West Lake - The Womacks! Clay joined me and we grabbed some lunch at one of my FAVORITE places for lunch! We headed to the house to see the family! I got beat by Clay James in Horse - it was so bad he gave me an extra letter and I still lost. I was there pretty much the whole day - I headed out to dinner about 7 and ended up at Cedar Street - it's been a while since i've been there and I forgot how I enjoyed the Austin night-life... Crashed at Kelly's house and on Saturday picked up Angela for some brunch at The Cheesecake Factory - YUM! We pretty much hung out Saturday - we tried to go ice skating at Whole Foods but uhm, there was ice and about 2 inches of water on top of that, so we left. Saturday night was spent with the Hull family and Sunday brought about church and an impromptu wedding. It felt like I had never left my busy life in Austin! That night Kelly, Angela and I met up with Kelli and Justin Hohstreiter and had dinner at Cheddars - it's been a long long time since i've been there too - it was prety good but no Chuy's. Monday I got up and headed back up I-35 6 hours to Oklahoma City!

All in all I must say i've got some pretty awesome friends and I'm so Thankful!!!

Wait... What? I'm actually blogging?? It's been almost 2 years!?

Okay,
So I know again i've been gone for a long, long while....

I'm not sure that I really remember how to do this. All the steps to put together a new blog and then post it..

So here it goes..
I love and I hate the holidays....
I love that I get time off and I hate that I get time off....

I love to be off playing and having fun - yet, I really dislike going back.
It's hard for me to get back into a routine when i'd rather be doing something else.

I do believe it's time for another change - more to follow on that one.

So, I really, really want an iphone - but i don't want AT&T - I think that Apple should release it to Sprint so I can have one - today! But i guess i'll have to accept Sprints alternatives to the iphone... we'll see what I decide.

So I guess all in all - I'm ready for another vacation!
My family would all look at me like "are you kidding!?, you've had like 4 vacations this year already"

But seriously - i could use another..
Although i've had a great time in all my travels this past year and i'm not completely ready to give that up I guess i'm ready to set into a new direction for this new year.

I do believe this is going to be an awesome year! Can't wait to experience it all!

I know this post is random - maybe this year holds some thought structure in it too...

thoughts...

Whoa!! two in one day - unbelievable.

As i read through a few peoples blogs; their writings both christian and secular, I experience different things. I see and feel both their pain, the ache of desire for something deeper than what they currently have, and the realness of their views and situations.

I ask myself why most people are shallow. I find some people who are truly seeking but many, many more are just 'comfortable'. I suppose my answer to the questions is because it's easier that way. Shallowness doesn't cause the deep pain that seems to remain. But it also doesn't produce the results that deep pain and pressure do. To remain shallow is to avoid, no to run from the person God is challenging and aching for us to become. He desires us to go deep to pursue hard with all that we have. He also aches to see us pursue His best, not just His basic. Will you choose to go deep, to go where the water is coolest and most refreshing, or will you continue drinking the warmed surface water that just meets your basic need?

AAAHHHHH!!!

Gosh, i haven't posted here in forever and a day!!! I even almost forgot about having it.

Update:: Kelly Pullen and I are now roommates, in a new apartment.. Loving it. Haven't even posted pics of Oliver and Annabelle, my two cats.

Okay well at least now i can say i've posted something in the new year... sorry if there's not another for a long time... I'm better reached on myspace.
