How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

Another Random Update

- Dustin and I had a great time camping this past weekend. (Unfortunately, I forgot our camera, so no pics yet.) You can read Dustin's review here. It was a great first camping experience. We owe Ryan and Rachel so many thanks because they totally hooked us up with everything we would ever need. We shared "the Hilton tent" with Devin and Larissa, who proved to be great roomies. On our second night, we welcomed Rascal, a friend's dog, into our tent, I miss having a dog around and loved being able to pet and snuggle with her. It truly was such a relaxing time, I am ready to go again.

- Upon driving back into the city after camping, I was so tired and yet so full of thankfulness. I felt a well of gratefulness and love overflowing inside me. It was such a weird feeling. I looked out the window at the beautiful sky and simple, yet magnificent landscape and felt so at peace and happy, filled with joy even. I felt like I could have driven, looking at the bright blue sky forever. God truly has been so good to me, it's overwhelming at times.

- We leave for Illinois in the morning. Dustin is performing his cousin's wedding on Saturday. We're super psyched to see family and stay in a hotel. I plan to use the fitness center, swim, shop, eat, laugh, watch TV, read, celebrate, dance, and sleep. Good times!!

- I am reading Ann Rand's "Atlas Shrugged", only about 400 pages left (of an over 1200 page book). This book has caused so many thoughts, emotions, opinions, frustrations, and ponderings in the last few weeks, it's driving me crazy!! I won't even begin to go into all of it, I'll just say that it's definitely an interesting and worthy read. Chris says it's his favorite book of all time. I say he hasn't read "Brothers K" yet.

- The holiday season is fast approaching and I, unfortunately, am dreading it. We have been preparing for Christmas since January, but I still feel like it's coming too soon and there's so much more to do. I am trying hard to change my attitude because I do want to be excited about it and have fun. My boss made a joking comment about my negative attitude, but I don't think it was really a joke, which means my inner frustrations are seeping out whether I want them to or not- not a good place to be. I hope this year will be better than the last, meaning I hope to not have doctor's orders for bed rest at the end of it. We'll see how it goes. Please pray!
