no time!!!!
I am finding how incredibly crazy my schedule is getting. It's full of people I want to meet and hang out with and stuff, but I miss working out in the mornings and I am just so tired now during the day, now that I don't have my routine in the mornings. I feel like I never stop moving.
This past saturday was nice though, I got to go visit my cousin's little girls and watch the one play her soccer game.... she's only 5 and way cute!!!!
after the game my other cousin, Julie, and I took the girls to chuck E Cheese's... I have not been there in AGES! but it was fun hanging out with the girls. Afterward my cousin and I went and saw The Women, which was a good movie, nothing super fantastic, but something fun to see on a saturday. so it was nice to just chill a bit on Saturday. but now I look forward to my week and think... yikes! I need to balance work and meeting people, and my boss doesn't like to make the work schedule till the day before the "new" week, which oddly enough starts on Wednesday, so I really don't know how to plan stuff for a lot of the week, but I am sure God will help me figure it all out.
I feel really blessed too that my boss is so accommadating. I think he might like it if I worked more since I am pretty reliable, but I am really just doing this to pay for gas and my cell phone bill for now.... I guess we will see how it goes.... I might actually need to work more hours if things don't pick up soon, so keep me in your prayers. I am trying to trust God as much as I can, but also be obedient and do my part, but it's hard. But I know God has big plans for me, I just need to patient, which I think is the hardest. so maybe I should be praying for patience more than trusting the lord, I don't know!

yay for crunching leaves
(pictures from a few years ago)
so today I crunched on my first crunchy leaf of the fall season!!!! yay!!!!
and many more to go!
I got some apple cider and a doughnut and a caramel apple yesterday, it just absolutely made my day!
Growing up in Rochester, MI we were surrounded by cider mills, every school field trip in the fall was to one, weekends were spent running around, watching how the cider and doughnuts were made. The past two years it has been so hard to really feel like it was october and november without the cold, the leaves changing and the cider. In Fact, when thanksgiving rolls around, it barely seems like a special day, except that all of us are on the phone late at night or early in the morning, connecting with family. Of course we had a special meal together, but it never felt like thanksgiving thanksgiving.
so not to purposefully quote McDonalds, but I'm lovin it!
I LOVE FALLLLLLLLL!!!!! :-)and I can't wait until next year to spend fall at MSU again, because it is absolutley gorgeous there by the cedar river.
So I hope you get a moment or two to go outside and take a walk and enjoy the changing of the season.

FALL!!!!!!
can I just tell you how excited I am that fall is here?!?!
I have not experienced fall for two years now, and it is so incredibly nice to have some cooler/cold weather.
I get to wear fall clothes too!!!!
and I am so looking forward to the leaves changing colors... this is going to be the longest I have ever lived in this house, and I love the way it feel in each season, I really feel the difference in Fall versus how it was in the summer... I am not sure I am looking forward to winter though :-)

Praise the Lord!!!!
ok I know I haven't posted much in the past couple weeks, I was at new staff training with campus crusade for Christ, I would love to write more about that in my next post.
but for now,
I am so excited.
My poor car, has all sorts of issuses. I finally got it all fixed from when the wheel went flying off. now I went to get the windshield wipers fixed, because they weren't working very well. they would wipe and everything, but the fluid wouldn't come out, and the wipers wouldn't STOP working when I turned them off..... anywho I went to get them fixed, knowing it would be about $200-300 to get a new motor, which we thought was what was wrong....and the guy called me two hours later saying, I don't know what was wrong with them, but they seem to work fine for me.... it's nuts!!! I have no idea why they are working suddenly. maybe they are only behaving for a little while? or maybe god fixed them.... I don't know what happened, but the Lord is good!
