very random

a little list for your all ...

1. I am SO ready for Spring. In honor of Spring being right around the corner, I am going to get a pair of Hunter boots for my birthday.

 

2. I have so many books that I want to read. Right now I am ready The Things They Carried. It is pretty good. The language is a little rough, but I guess you have to expect that for a book about Vietnam. 

3. Reading The Things They Carried makes me want to re-watch Band of Brothers.

4. As much as I am ready for Spring, I still love Smartwools, my dots, and pot roast.

 

5. I need to stop making silly lists and start writing support letters for the trip to Costa Rica that I am taking in less than one month.

6. Or stop making lists and get ready for my first Jewelry Party on Friday! Very excited and a little nervous because I have so much to do. 

7. When I finish reading The Things They Carried, I want to read The Help & Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I am not sure how I feel about seeing the movie. Johnny Depp freaks me out just a little.

8.  This year I am going to add sweet potatoes and strawberries to my little garden.

9. I feel like I have a lot of projects that I want to do around the house, but when I get off of work I don't do anything! How will I ever accomplish anything??

10. Our plans to travel to France this summer are becoming more and more of a reality. Anyone been there and have any travel suggestions?

11. Both of my puppies are laying on the floor asleep ... this is a glorious thing.

12. I feel like God is using my life in amazing ways. For the past three years I have had a pretty rough struggle with body image and eating issues. Through God's guidance, good friends, and a lot of prayer, I feel like I have truly been rescued from a lot of the sin that is entangled in that. I'm not saying that I no longer struggle with it anymore, but it is no longer the Lord of my life. 

This week, a girl in our church's youth group approached me about the similar issues. I am going to get the opportunity to walk beside her through this journey. I had someone in my life who had similar struggles and she walked beside me (her name was also Rachel). She has helped me in more ways then she will never know. 

13. I am super scared that now that I have two dogs my house will smell like a kennel. 

14. I take Social Work Licensure exam tomorrow at 8:00. Think of me & send up a couple of prayers.

15. I am hesitant to write this one, but I am going to rebel against my logical thinking and tell you all anyway. I have a job interview tomorrow. I would really like a counseling job. The interview tomorrow is for a counseling/therapist position, specifically working with pregnant women who also have substance abuse issues.

16. I am crossing over to the dark {or light, depending on how to look at it} and getting an iphone.

 17. I hate spending money at the grocery store & everytime I bring E with me I spend even more ... why is that? 

18. I absolutely cannot under any circumstances buy Golden Oreos. I will without a doubt eat the whole container. I am not am emotional eater and in general I feel like I am pretty healthy, but when it comes to the Golden Oreo I am simply much too weak.

Ok, I think that is enough rambling. Sometimes I just like to get what is inside of my head out on here! Sorry you have to witness my randomness.
