One ticket for.....?

Tonight James and I went to see "Iron Man". We were both excited to go to a movie, but naturally James had to research each prospective option on the list of movies currently playing showing. He loves doing this...so naturally he picked the one with the best reviews. Not to mention it was the whole super hero action movie, which always wins extra points with us. Now mind you James is the movie fanatic in our family. I on the other hand, am a little in the fog when it comes to the finer details of movies. I couldn't tell you what the actors names are, when the movies come out, or even their titles. Though we had discussed what movie we were going to go see, when I approched the ticket counter I told the man that we wanted to go see "Rocket Man". He smiled politely and gave us tickets for "Iron Man". He was too kind.

Well the movie was great and as far as I know lived up to all the reviews. (You'll have to read James' blog for his thoughts.) Although we were a little disappointed that no one told us to stay after the credits. Oh well! We figured out what happened by researching the internet when we came home to see what we had missed. :) Definitely go see theres lots of action, lots of explosives, and a few shockers.

This week I've been applying to hundreds of jobs in the SoCal area. It's tough! I hate the time it takes out of the day and how you have to personalize each cover letter that you send out to make it appropriate for the job you're applying for. Another pain is all of the websites that use their own web programs for the hiring process. Each one has you fill out everything that is already on your resume...only in separate boxes! They also usually make you create accounts with their job board site. It's a little annoying, to say the least.

James and i finally received internet service today! But now we have to send back the modem thingy (I don't remember what its called). It kicks us off every 30 minutes. Everything is such a process when you move...you forget when everything was easy.

On a deeper note, I think it's like that with God sometimes too. We need to rejoice with Him in both our struggles and our blessings. Sometimes I think we take for granted the wars that are going on around and within ourselves. It helps me to remember that God's purpose for me is always perfect. Not solely in the end result, but in His timing and process as well. He knows the temptations we'll face, where we'll break,and where He'll mend us and make us stronger. Seems like a lot of us are learning this right now. Maybe we're always learning this....
