Time Flies Fast!

I find it kind of weird that suddenly I agree with so many of the older, and wiser, people in my life. They would say to me in passing, "time passes so quickly" and "...it seems like yesterday...". I've been thinking about that a lot lately and they are right. We are only here for a moment, in the grander scheme of things I want what I do to count. Have you ever felt like you were destined for more in life? God is helping me to daily discover more of Him and His will for my life and I'm looking and praying about what could be next.

On another note, I've been so busy lately I feel like I've had no time to spend with friends or to do the things which I enjoy most. I feel so selfish when I come home exhausted and tired and I just want to sleep. I feel like I am cheating myself out of great possibilites. I could read more, write more, exercise, or hang out with friends. I know I'm still working on finding a balance. I've done the opposite before where I was doing too much and that is just as bad. You can't be at your best when you're being stretched too much. Craziyness! So for now I'm pretty tired :)

I've been so busy that I've neglected writing in my blog, and I guess I didn't even notice!!! So here are more updates:

James and I finally have a livable apartment. We've moved, painted, and set up house (for the most part). There are still a few boxes while we look for bedroom furniture but ohhhh it is nice to have your own place!

My family came for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! I miss them so much and it was great to hang out. My mom and I made a Thanksgiving meal together and it was great fun! I learned that I can cook!

We decorated a little bit for the holidays although no real tree this year. Just the fake-o, but I'm happy, I love Christmas and putting up decoations. James doesn't seem to mind yet!

James sold his Jeep and I think he misses it but it wasn't working and it was time for it to go. So he said a sad good-bye and gave "Cecillia" away.

We have some Christmas parties coming up and they should be fun and interesting! James and I went to a holiday party this week at our apartment complex (we wanted to win a door prize). Although we didn't hit the jackpot, I did win a Starbucks gift card!

We leave in a little over a week to head home to Michigan for a Christmas vacation! Whahoo!

We found out more friends of ours are getting married (I think the total number of weddings going on this summer is 5!) I'm very excited for them! And I LOVE weddings!

That's pretty much it so far...... I know the Christmas festivities will lend me some great blogs soon! Until then good night!
