Transitions

I DO NOT deal with transitions well. And I know God is really working on me in this area... why else would we be here in Denver where every few months our world flips upside-down.

Last week Ben had his finals for his Spring 2009 classes. I am so proud of him for finishing another semester- a really tough semester!! I mean a boring Old Testament class (where the prof made the students buy 10 of HIS books for the class) and STATISTICS (need I say more?).

Well we had a great weekend last weekend before the mayhem started again. We had a date night on Friday and saw the new Star Trek movie - which I must say was GREAT!

Then Monday came and the roller coaster started again.

This week Ben started 2 new jobs which means training, an online class with a lot of busy work, and continued with his internship.

I finally got comfortable with the schedule and it changed again. I guess God doesn't want me comfortable :) There is a time and place for everything. I will have my comfortable time one day.

I also will really miss my Starbucks' Chai now that Ben is no longer working there.

hummmm

It's been a while since I've written anything interesting.

Colorado weather struck again this past week. Monday morning I woke up to another snow blizzard (a "surprise blizzard") but by yesterday it was in the 70s again. I guess I can't complain that the snow never stays around.

I started knitting a sweater for my niece, Rachel. I hope to have it done by her 1st b-day in October. Here are some pics of the first 4 inches:





I'll keep you updated on the progress. These 4 inches took me about 5 hours total. I'm learning as I go, so it'll be a long process.

What the????

If you were to go to Weather.com right now and look at the weather for the 80123 zip code. You will see first that it's a beautiful 71 degree day and right above it there is a orange "WINTER STORM WARMING" warning flashing at you.

I ask you how is that possible? It's 71 degrees and they are threatening us with 10-30 inches of SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Welcome to Denver!

Just Because

Today I have to take sometime and BRAG about my wonderful husband.

Over the weekend, I felt really ucky. PMSy, and drained.... ya know. Well when I got home from work yesterday, Ben (in his few precious hours at home in the morning) cleaned up the whole apartment, and left me little love notes and thank you notes all over, and gave me a 'coupon' for a date night this week! Then after a full 10 hour day he went out of his way and bought me this huge beautiful bouquet of flowers!

He is truly the most amazing hubby EVER! God has blessed me beyond measure!

Passover

HAPPY PASSOVER EVERYONE!

Pros and Cons

Facebook Pros and Cons that is....

Pros:
Great tool to catch up and keep in touch with friends!

Cons:
Stalker-types

As not to go into too much detail. Last Friday I had a FB (facebook) scare. I noticed that someone was prying into my life and the lives of my family members using FB. There is no reason, that I can think of, why this person should be friends with some of my family. He's never met them and most likely never will.

Well the good thing about FB is that you can delete people like that from your "friends". So that's what I did. I now have fewer "friends"- per say, but I feel much better about the whole thing.

You know you feel old when...

My oldest and dearest friend, Becca, had baby #2 last week. Caleb Ryan Quinby. I get to meet him next week. I'm so excited!
