Give your thanks to someone who is serving or has served our country. They have sacrificed so much for us.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend! I'll post pictures of some Memorial day fun soon.

Life. Is. Good.

Life is going very well. After a period of remaining stagnant, life is running like a cool steady stream. In about two weeks I 'll be moving into the Magic Room. It'll be an adjustment for sure, but I have been feeling confident in my decisions and the road that I am on and I have no doubt that everything will fall into place.

Work is keeping me busy, though I am making a conscious effort to not let it consume me. This is an undertaking for someone like myself. When it comes to my work everything must be laid out just so. Recently I have started going crazy with the label maker. I welcome the additional responsibilities (to an extent), and I may even be looking at a promotion this summer. Also, I plan on finishing my clinical research certificate this year (finally!) and will be eligible to sit for the national exam in September of 2009.

My nephew, Alex had his First Communion two weeks ago. It was fun to see him with his parents taking communion. I can't believe how much he has grown. He still wants to be a paleontologist. I remember when he first told me that when he was 4. He is very articulate for an eight year old and has a sense of humor like a 30 year old. (which can be both good and bad)



My not-so-small-group continues to be a source of all things good. We recently danced to "Thriller" at Jeff and Meg's wedding. I am sure it is on You Tube somewhere. I look forward to Wednesday nights with these friends and can definitely feel the effects when I am unable to go.



I have an awesome God. I have peace and contentment even when it feels like I don't. Understanding and patience even when I don't want to be. I have perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. There is a sense of calmness, not urgency. Is this a product of wisdom? I don't know. But I like it. Life is good.

Give me 10

In 10 minutes... I'll be playing with my niece and nephew.

In 10 hours...I'll be waking up and starting a new day.

In 10 days...I will be watching a dance performance.

In 10 weeks... I will either be soaking up the sun, or on a road trip; either way it will be during a well deserved vacation.

In 10 months... I would like to find myself either promoted at work or in a different position with another company.

In 10 years... I hope to have a happy stable marriage, child(ren), and a successful career.

What about you?
