There is something about the first day of school
even when you are no longer a student
there is the excitement or expectation
i work in public education and have for several years
but i always wake up early the first day
here goes another year 2010-2011
I am loosing track of days. So I think it’s 16.
I have been busy packing and getting ready for school to start.
I just found out my friend is having twins and they are supposed to make their appearance Monday.
I knew she was pregnant but she lives in the northwest so somehow I missed the update about twin girls.
I always thought I wanted twins who knows what will happen now
it’s baby season or so it seems.
one friend had a baby last week I’m going to baby shower today another birth MOnday a friend due in september and a cousin in october.
baby’s are coming from every direction
shopping for little tiny clothes and accessories makes me think about us having a baby
I wonder when does our baby season start
God knows 
Summer is coming to a screeching halt
But I found out I’m going to be working with one of my good friends.
I went into the school today
It’s funny a totally different atmosphere with no kids or only teachers children.
Everybody’s happy and excited
Adding students to the mix really does something…
But it’s catching even I’m looking forward to it.
Only 2 school days and 4 weekdays to go
Man summer went fast
great service this morning
God is good
the less flesh the more spirit you can hear, feel, see, etc
we’re about a month away from the retreat
I met God at the lake yesterday
I really felt Him
I felt loved, accepted, and freed, and everything I needed to feel at that very moment
I left lighter and encouraged.
we babysat the little cousins today.
i like kids and want my own…. someday.
but sitting in a quiet apartment is nice.
peace and quiet never overrated.
So I haven’t been so good about daily post over the 40 days but i’ll get better. Yesterday a prayer was answered k and I agreed on our new place in the right place if you know what I mean. And today one go my friends gave birth to a baby girl. Isn’t God good? There is nothing to hard for him! Today when I was reading my bible I saw something I never noticed before. Hindering distraction opens up insight.
Today was just really peaceful.
I am blessed.
Taking the extra out of your life helps you to marinate on what’s essential.
Without the background noise prayer just flows better.
I am excited for September 17.
for my anniversary weekend I got my hair straightened. My husband requested the change. I also needed a trim so I was open. I went to the salon and came out with much shorter hair. approximately 4-5 inches shorter. My stylist stated that there were a lot of bad ends. I was still kinda shocked when I looked at the floor and saw long pieces. I plan to wear my hair straight a few more days and then wash and see what the curly results are. I thought I was going to reach bra strap by the end of August and was excited to see what my hair would be doing in December. Now my hair is to my collar-bone while straight. so we shall see…

so today i got a lot done
did some packing and work for my man
and finished a book i was reading
and it was peaceful
i felt more focused without my oh so entertaining distractions
and truthfully i never got bored
i thought deep thoughts and light hearted ones too
i had a great day let’s see what day 4 holds
we are doing a 40 day fast as part of a women’s event at my church.
today is day one.
we are fasting from TV and/or other choice entertainment up to the day we start our retreat.
this is an annual event in previous years i didn’t really watch tv so I always gave up internet surfing.
so this year is going to be a bit different for me
I am going to do partial TV (only watch with the hubster) and non internet except work email, this blog, and personal email checks sparingly.
