10 on Tuesday

Last week was way too crazy to try to write in my blog, but we are pretty much settled in. It was organizing my clothes and "junk" well its not really junk cause its my photos and scrapbooks there are just alot of it! lol

1. I am so very thankful that we do have a place that we can stay verese trying to live in an apartment. You have to pay extra for living in an apartment month to month and that is if you can find an apartment that will let you do a month to month. We do have a place in mind after Tyler has been had his new store for awhile and once I get into a job as well. Speaking of my and jobs.... I have a place where I am waiting for the interview person to call me back. The position is a company that is specifically for elderly people, anything from errand running for them to just spending sometime with them when there family cant be there. There are a ton of different things that I can do and I can choose what I want and what I dont want to do. I just pray that it works out, it gives me alot of flexibility. I have always enjoyed seniors, we use to have a nursing home ministry that I was involved in.

2. We joined back at Liberty and we are ready to jump in and start helping.... I am going to get back in choir(which they have cancelled for the last 2 Sundays cause of the Revival and Memorial Day) and VBS is coming up, Camp (IDK if I am going) and so many other things.

3. The first Sunday we were back, our church started a revival with Bill Abbott(sp?). His family was sucha blessing, they all sing and Tyler and I got to get to know them on more of personal level. We went from amazing preaching up in HBBC/SWBC to home and continue in more amazing preacing. The Lord is good! We had lots of decisions made and the final night we saw 22 saved! What a blessing, its great to see the Lord work in my church.

4. God answers prayers! We had been praying about Tyler getting his job at Best Buy here in Texas. Best Buy got rid of there supervisor position throughout the entire company. So all those people that were supervisors are now full timers which is Tyler's position. So when he called about a transfer he had to interview for the position since there are only a limeted of openings. Thankfully he got the job but it is just part time...... they said that they are going give him minimum of 30hrs a week but we will see, then another Best Buy in the area called him to apply for this other position that has come available which is full time with a commission check. We will continue to pray for that but we are thankful for what has given us at this moment and Tyler starts tomorrow.

5. Yesturday was Tyler's bday and we went to Chilis as a tradition we have done for several years. We also went to Red Robin and used his bday coupon for a free burger and a free dessert, all you have to do is sign up for emails.

6. There has been alot on my mind lately, just so many things.... graduation is over, we said our goodbyes, we are back in Texas and now what..... I know we are settling in with jobs, in our church and with old friends. But we are still in limbo land, we could still get a phone call for a position and up in leave at anytime. That leaves me constantly uneasy and makes me feel bad about living with the inlaws. I know I have said it before, I am so thankful for them letting us live with them until we get back on our feet. Its just one of those things.... but hopefully not long at all.

7. I took up Piano again, I took it when I was 14 and took it for about a year or so and just kindof gave up. But I am realizing it might be a nice little bonus to have in the ministry and its something really relaxing. I remembered alot of it when I started to play the other day. I will start taking lessons again in the next month and start on chords ect. I am super excited I feel like I have accomplished something already. lol

8. I have been hanging out with my child hood best friend Shawna aka Na Na alot and it feels like old times. I still miss my HBBC friends abunch! I am so thankful for all my great friends :)

9. This past weekend we had Tricia's shower and it turned out really good, she is still on bed rest.The baby is fine but she is the one with problems. I think that Bryce will end up coming early! Which we are all very excited about.

10. Well I think Summer has officially arrived and I love it! Hope yall all enjoy yours as well :)

(YAWN....) 10 on Tuesday, what its TUESDAY! lol

So my week so far has been exhausting, it started this past weekend with packing every night til real late in the night. I have sooo much stuff, both our parents defintaley spoiled us and was really bad on us keeping memorabilias. I am thankful that I have some of them but we had way too many! lol I have the holiday Barbies from before I was born, Ty has his Star Wars stuff ect ect ect.

1. Going through stuff is so hard sometimes, not that I want to be a clutter bug but it just seems my apartment was getting smaller and smaller. Putting my stuff in storage for who knows how long is kindof harder than I thought. I try to think what do I really need and what if something happens to this or that. I know its all materialist things but I have memories with all those things, happy ones! I am truly blessed with the things God has given us.....

2. I use to be able to stay up all hours of the night and be fine, these last several nights have stayed up to 2 oclock in the morning (use to going to bed at 11 lol) and I am actually doing alright but my head is for sure aching, but loving the opportunity to drink starbucks :)

3. I cant believe its only Tuesday, this already seems like the longest week of my life. I dont know how you ladies do it out there with a kid! haha I know that just means I am not ready bla bla bla but just saying props to yall!

4. This is a week of saying goodbyes,lots of packing,seeing family and being overwhelmed with so many emotions. Lots of my friends are staying in the city and some are moving not too far but its just hard so hard! I know this just means I will meet new people, new friends but there are just so many buts..... lol I know I could of easily said this when I came to HBBC but look how God has blessed me in so many ways with amazing friends. I am just not good with new beginnings, unknown things, its defintaley something to work on!

5. Miranda you.....( I am going to try to type this without crying) well you kept me from killing Gracie Glowiki! haha You helped me through my Freshman, AND Sophmore year. lol We may have gotten in trouble together, but I wouldnt take back anything we did (all we did was stay up and talk) and all the great times at Casual Corner.... What about Sidney???? lol I told you he is adorable, and that you would learn how to work around the nose. hee hee Remember wiping out in front of the dorm or many other times???? Braums/Wal-mart trips, you coming to visit me, then it wasnt for me anymore haha Nasty Cafe food, loving singing next to you in church cause we will never get to sing together I guess lol I know that the Lord brought us all 4 so close for a reason and I truly believe that yalls friendship will be a blessing in the ministry to come!!!!!!!!

(sorry so blurry copied and paste)

6. Things I have learned at HBBC that I wouldnt take back for anything..... how to just keep my fat mouth shut sometimes(still a struggle), how to truly seek God's face on things, to make verses in the Bible my life and so many define my life, TO GROW UP (Freshman year saying) and to put ALL my faith and trust in HIM......

7. Thursday is graduation, I am so proud of Tyler! He has accomplished so much, to think that I prayed for God to call him in the ministry 7 years ago ( we were dating and I knew I was to go into the minstry and I didnt want to break up with him and didnt want him to base the decision on me, so I prayed and God answered!) and look at him graduating from HBBC with a pastoral degree.

8. Thursday night after graduation and we all eat with family we are going to IHOP for last goodbyes (I might have already wrote about this) I am so excited, its going to be a great late night of laughs,tears and goodbyes. There will be pics posted! :)

9. Friday is moving day.... I am thankful for all the people that are helping to move us back home.

10. This time next week I will be in TEXAS, the page finally turned to the next chapter. But this next chapter already has a TO BE CONTINUED........ You know that excited,sad and anxious feeling when your season finale of your show ends, ya well that is how my life feels right about now! I havent given up on God, I am quite proud of myself (not in a prideful bad way) that I have truly given this to God. I normally am a basket case of emotions, not saying I have been perfect but I went from fretting about who, what, when, where, why, (ask Miranda haha poor thing had to listen to me) to a couple of messages of given God control, he is the one that got you here didnt he is the one who started, he always finishes! That can preach!!!!!! :) lol I have an amazing life and I cant stop saying how much I am blessed, my friends are my family and my everything and I know that they are truly friends forever! BFFS!!!!!!!!! :)

10 Tuesday :)

As usual I am a utter failure at blogging! I am been so busy but not with anything really interesting.... But with almost just a week til we are officially out of our apartment its seems like I am running around crazy!

1. This Wednesday will be a week til I am done with my job here in okc and I have already started applying for jobs in Dallas, so pray that I find one soon so that we can start saving for a house(wherever that may be located) lol

2. This week is banquet, and its just another sad but fun night with the whole gang. We had a party last Thursday for a last big blast @ the Bittners! lol It was fun, with lots of memories and pics

3. My friend is having a baby and I have talked about her alittle bit, we are having a shower for her at the end of this month and we are so excited (I think I have talked about it alittle bit) Emily and I made a diaper cake, alittle nicer than most but it was a lot of fun doing it

4. Its getting closer and closer to graduation, and we all are trying to cram as much time together as possibly, but it will never be the same. Its hard having people go from being in your life almost everyday for 4yrs to just a phone call or facebook everyonce in a while through our crazy hectic lives.... its sad that is comes to that. You know youll always be friends, no doubt but it wont be the same! I havent completely broke down yet, it still hasnt fully hit me. I have gotten teary eyed at times but I think at IHOP when we say our last goodbyes, until next... it will be pretty rough. I have an amazing group of friends that I dont know if I could of survived college without them. We all are going off to do what the Lord called us to do, and we will always be there for eachother. I am truly blessed to call this people my friends!

5. This rain is killing me.... my inlaws tried moving into there house last weekend and it was a mess. Hopefully through all the things we have coming up in the next week or so wont be messed up cause of this rain.

6. My friend Brittany is coming up for graduation and she is going to take pictures of Tyler and I. I'm so excited, she is knew at photography but she is so good, I want some fun and different pics of us.Now to find a fun shirt to wear! lol

7. I made a DVD for my friends of all 4yrs of HBBC and the memories that we had together.... It turned out pretty good, the songs went great with it and everything. It was my first and even though there was some mess ups I was proud of myself, I did it all on the MAC too :) lol We have had some good times and laughs together, I also watched my wedding DVD that day too. I shouldnt of, too many emotions flying.lol I cried so hard watching my wedding video, remembering how nervous I was hoping not to trip, the look on Tyler's face when he first saw me and how I thought he was going to faint cause he turned so pale! lol All the feelings of that day just came back like it happened that day, my wedding was beautiful thanks to my mother in law for working soooo hard on it. I was thinking how I wished my Grandpa could of made it 6 more months, even though there was drama I know that it was the happiest day of my life besides my salvation. I love my hubby!

8. Man I am blogging it up today! lol Must be the weather hahaha

9. I get my nails done this week and my hair, I am so thankful that I can still get those things done :) thanks ty for spoiling me

10. I am going to end on this note, I am content in waiting on God to show us where we are going. Many people say "sure go back to your comfort zone"(home) but in all reality is it??? I personally dont think so, those people may love me and baby me, but at the same time those same people see us as little kids still so it is going to be hard to help out and be taken seriously.... I am not wanting RESPECT but enough that I can make a decision without everyone in the church opinions. This whole thing may come off sounding bitter or not excited about going back to our home church but we are there is sucha need in the youth (not saying we are taking over lol just need more teens) Idk what I am saying exactly but I guess you have that problem everywhere you go that you have grown up in, until you prove yourself to them. I guess we will see, but whatever it may be I am sure there is a lesson to be learned.....lol
