Excitement
Ok, so last night I had my first class of my last semester. We had to go around the room and say our career goal. We had to say something. So, today I was inspired to look up various jobs and see what I might like. It was so rad! I found some pretty amazing jobs. I even applied for one. It's working as a team leader for Habitat for Humanity during the summer. Totally sweet. Please be praying for me in this endeavour. You know what else I found today? My dream job. It's called an In Home Behavior Therapist. It's pretty much a fancy name for "person who hangs out with kids all day and gets paid for it." Needless to say, I am now excited about graduating. More than ever before. I know God has something sweet for me and I can't wait to find out what it is!

Someday I Might be a Crazy Cat Lady
I wonder if the current crazy cat ladies of the world knew their fate when they were 24. Did they even like cats then? Were there any warning signs? Guys, I don't want to become a crazy cat lady so please slap me if you see it in me.
So, I'm almost done with school. I ordered my last textbooks today. It hurt my wallet a little but made my heart happy. I'm pretty excited though, mostly relieved. I'll finally have a life when I get off work instead of going straight to school and having my mind corrupted with propaganda for 4+ hours. I know, I know, I'll probably miss these days eventually, but not for a while.
I get to go to Hume this weekend. I am almost pee your pants excited about it. It's going to be so sweet. The thought of Hume is definitely going to get me through the week.
PS-I was thinking about quitting the job at the end of Feb because then I'll get to take all of my monies from my 401k. But, lets face it, that's isn't the wisest of decisions. I'm just going to stay until May so I can keep my insurance and stability. Bleck. It was a fun thought though.
Yeah, I don't know what else to write about tonight. I slept in until 11am today which means I'm not going to bed for quite a while. Maybe I'll work on my quilt, that would be fun.
Ok, my ramblings are over. I'll end with this quote from 30 Rock..... "If the whole world moved to their favorite vacation spots, then the whole world would live in Hawaii and Italy and Cleveland."

Rebel Rebel
I went to the movies last night and saw "Charlie Wilson's War." It wasn't the best movie ever and there was nudity and some other questionable things in it. Halfway through the movie I got this sudden urge to sneak into another movie. So after Charlie was over, Steven and I snuck into Alien vs. Predator. I was so nervous. It was great though, not the movie, the sneaking in. In jr.high my friends always did it but I never did, I was too scared. I thiink I'm going to steal some bowling shoes next...
Shaws, I enjoyed your recaps of 2007. It inspired me to reflect upon my own adventures. Here are some of my favorite things from our old friend 2007:
-Ringing in the New Year with DDR (dance dance revolution)
-Going to Hume with the jr.highers and hanging out with Joy the whole time because the kids didn't like us
-Getting a surprise valentine's day present from my roomie
-Building forts, going in the hot tub, having late night laughing parties, the ant invasion, lounging, and a host of other adventures with my old roomie Farah.
-Playing laser tag on the 4th of July with all of the fireworks going off
-Seeing my nephew grow
-Celebrating a lot of weddings
-Witnessing God change my girls' hearts at Hume in the summer
-Experiencing change in my own heart
-Getting to know and adoring you know who
-Spending time quilting with my grandma and finishing two more
-Having my last moment of 2007 on Ghostrider at Knotts

There are plenty of other memories, those are just a few off the top of my head. :o) I'm thankful that you were all involved in this past year and hope that 2008 will be filled with just as many blessings. I love you guys
