Latest and Greatest

Today is Monday. I have officially been home for one month. Four weeks. I know that I talk a lot about, 'since being home', and such often... but its strange as I continue to get perspective on that trip the more some feelings resonate and the disbelief on the concept of time continues. 

What have a done since I've been home? I feel like my only response is 'everything'. I have found a new church I love, started a new bible study, hosted some parties, had some great lunches with friends, reconnected to important folks, gone to the Waffle House half a dozen times in important life coaching meetings... it has honestly been quite fantastic. 

This past weekend my dear friend Jessica came to visit from Kentucky. We met on Summer Staff in '03, and have remained great friends- even went to Vegas together this past August. With hosting her, came the social occasions every night- staying up and laughing, eating out at my favorite spots... just the goodness of having a friend you can be yourself around and love well is always a comfort. She toys with my heart when she talks about moving to Virginia, and I pray that some time really soon that she will make the big move.

The latest things update:
1) Jessica came and went and it was fantastic.
2) I actually went Antiquing on Saturday, and it wasn't that bad! 
3) I have fallen in love with the movie "Waitress", seriously everyone needs to watch this movie and eat some pie. It was so fantastic. Report your reactions to me. 
4) Spent some time with Theresa chatting on our favorite piece of furniture, with a movie that we aren't watching in the background.
5) Had a hysterical conversation with my Dad yesterday about church, then the Giants- and Daytona 500. I laughed really hard. And I squeaked, because, well I still don't have much of a voice. I don't understand why.
6) I am still unemployed. I am still applying for jobs. I am still waiting. 
7) I almost got rid of Ginger this weekend, but we decided to wait for Ginger to move to Kentucky.
8) I am exhausted. 
9) I am going to Colorado on Thursday and I am really excited! Really, I truly am so excited.
10) I have lots of Gold Stars on my calender from my YMCA visits, I'm feeling empowered.
