chop, chop!

This morning I woke up, organized the kitchen counter, ate some breakfast, showered and decided it was time to cut my hair.  In the attempts to save some money and getting very annoyed with, my as Josh and I would call it, “fox tail” I chopped it off!  However, I did have Josh help me with cutting the back- the deed is done.  Granted I am not super happy with it- well the back is good, the front not so much.  I need to do a Skype date with my mom and have her guide me through fixing up the front.  So all you get to see is the back for now! J

 We headed over to the Renzelman’s today so Josh and Chris could catch up.  We haven’t seen them in 2 weeks, which seems like a long time.  Like I always say- it was nice to be in their house.  Seriously walking in, giving Sadie a pat hello, hugging Rebecca and saying hey to Chris felt like stopping by home.  We did the usually of Josh going downstairs to with Chris to his office, while Rebecca and I caught up in the kitchen.  Chris even said to me when they came up the stairs, “so does if feel like home walking in?” and it seriously does.  We are so excited for when my parents are out to have them meet our Seattle parents- they’re pretty great!

So it seems the Lord is multiplying for my job situation as families contact me about jobs.  I have some options floating around and I would love prayer on knowing how to pursue the best one!

Praise- Josh as feeling A LOT better today.  Still not 100%, but my Joshy was back for most of the day! J

Thankful for: SERIOUSLY amazing colors always out our window, I need to do some art about THAT and of course our trip to Renz’s

OH and of course we watched Idol with our 2 building neighbors- it is now to the point that on Wednesday night we expect one another to be there! This commercial plays almost every idol- I laugh EVERY time...

I was telling Josh today that it is weird to think that from this point on we are under the year mark of going back to MN.  Granted a year is a long time and things could change of how everything pans out for us- it just puts it into perspective to not miss out on living in Seattle. 

Here is a little something from “Jesus Calling” that I thought was really good- so read it, think about it, pray about it etc…while I hand off the computer and head to bed!

Living in dependence on me is the way to enjoy abundant life.  You are learning to appreciate tough times because they amplify you awareness of my presence.  Tasks that you used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy my closeness.  When you feel tired you remember that I am your strength; you take pleasure on leaning on me.  I am pleased by your tendency to turn to me more and more frequently, especially when you are alone.

my dinner plate smiley face! ha an omelet, biscuits and Rebecca's strawberry jam- yum!
