Moving Forward

My life... in list form

A couple things...
1. I went to see the Broadway version of RENT last weekend and it was amazing. There's no other way to describe it. Sitting outside in the cold on the freezing concrete for 9 hours was totally worth it. I was very impressed!
2. I'm heading into the recording studio to lay down a song that I wrote for my dad during my junior year of high school. It's very simplistic, but I know he'll love it. I'm gonna add some harmony and hopefully my friend, John Dudich will be able to add a cool guitar part to what I already have. I sang it and played it for him on Father's Day the year I wrote it, so I'm really excited to make it sound better! My friend Ben will be adding drums, maybe some piano, and mixing it for me. Ben has the studio in his house, so it's perfect.
3. I'm a little TO'd because I've been "getting sick" for about a week now. You know how you feel right before you get a full blown cold? That's how I've been feeling and I wish it would just come so that it would leave! (hopefully it doesn't come when I have to record. that'd sound awful!)
4. I'm going home for thanksgiving, as in AZ and I'm actually kinda excited about it. I wasn't at first because I'm missing some things back here, but it'll be good. I'll be helping my parents move into their new house... finally.
5. In case you haven't talked to me in the last two weeks... my parents are moving back up to IL!! After 8 years of being in AZ they've decided to build a new house out in Plano. They're going to keep the house they have in AZ so that when the weather is too bad for my dad to be up here, he has somewhere to go. I'm so freakin excited about it, I can't even describe it!
6. God has continued to be faithful and amazing. What else can you expect though? This is not to say that life is perfect because again, if you've talked to me in the past couple of weeks you know that it hasn't been. Satan has been working overtime to break me down, but God has been strengthening me and preparing me, so I'm handling it to the best of my ability. Prayers are welcome. (strength, peace, patience, discernment)
7. I've been kind of amazed lately by other people. There have been a few times when I'm thinking something and someone else actually has the guts to say it, or write it out for others to see. It's interesting.
8. " If you tell the truth- you don't have to remember what you said." This is from a poster in a classroom I taught in a couple of weeks ago.
9. Subbing is still going well... not as well as it is for Trent, but maybe if I move to Ohio it'll be better. (He's making quite a bit more money than I am for doing the same darn thing)
10. I'm thinking about going back and getting my teaching degree because I only need a few more classes to complete it.
11. My b-day is in less than two months. Better get shopping!
12. Kayla is turning 2 in exactly one week! Whoa!
13. 2 Cornithians 4:17 and 18 says: "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
So that's about it for me. See you cats on the flip side.
