I leave in approximately 41 hours for my hometown!! But who's counting?
I don't know if I've ever looked so forward to a trip before. It's gonna be good. I can feel it. With so many good people to see...how could it not be awesome?
on a side note...my friend "Betty" and I are the CORN HOLE Champions of the SECC Staff! It was a tough tournament today, but we came through and beat the snot out of our boss and co-worker in the final round! Sweet victory! :) The game of corn hole simply rules. You must try it sometime. later taters!

Countdown to Q-town
11 days and I'll be home!
It's the long awaited trip home. Seeing as my visits home seem very few and far between these days, I cherish every trip I can take. I really don't like being this far from home, but I'm not about to quit my job just because I am homesick! ;) hehe (some people know what I'm talking about)
Top 10 List of Things I am looking forward to in Q-town:
10. Rolling down the windows on the way into town just to smell the air.
9. Getting my hair cut by the fabulous Sha and getting an opportunity to catch up on her life!
8. Wedding appointments: flowers, photos, music, dress fitting...
7. Going to church with my family and not having to work:)
6. Teasing Matt that he was demoted to usher and that John is now Best Man! :)
5. Seeing parents, brothers/sisters, family & dear friends...and all the hugs we'll get from them!
4. CARTERMAN!!!! That little booger is almost a year old now:)
3. Max and I beating everyone at the water balloon toss at the Reunionfest 2007!
2. THE SHOWERS!!! Whoohoo:)
1. TIME OFF!!!
I love you all! See you next week!

Change
I just don't think that I can take any more change this week.
First, one of my good friends on our team resigns Monday and tells us he is moving to another team at the church. It's a good thing for him, but you can't help but be selfish and realize our team will suffer from the loss. That's just my opinion. It will take me awhile to be "okay" with this.
Second, we had an all-staff meeting called on Wednesday morning. Another "re-org" for our entire staff. It generally happens every 18 months at this church. This one aligns us with Dave's vision - it makes sense. It's just another change.
Third, our senior administrator, the awesome DW, resigned and is moving away. It saddens me. We are losing a great leader and friend...yes. But I'm more sad that my roomate will be watching her best friends and her "kiddos" move away. They are her family. Praying she doesn't move away with them:)
Too much change. I'm in overload. I know God is still sovereign. Just not able to see the final picture yet. Doubt He will give me all the answers. Eh...guess I will have to be okay with that.

Is it Possible?
By the looks of the countdown above...the day is approaching faster than I thought. The first number is what scares me - 4 months!!! Yikes Bikes! Still so much to do. I hadn't looked at my blog for over a week because of camp and before I left, the first number was sitting safely at #5. Now all of the sudden we've breached the next level and a new sense of panic has set in. But who can stop time? Well, God can stop time, but I'm pretty sure if I asked him to, He would chuckle a bit and give me that look that says "I don't think so". He did it for Joshua...come on now!!
Who am I kidding though. I wish the countdown said 4 days instead of 4 months. I'm ready to be married to this man. I've finally found the love of my life and this whole planning stuff is getting old. I've planned enough. I got the man. I got the dress. I got the ring. I got the preacher. I got the music woman. The essentials in my opinion. What else do ya need?
Max and I are excited though. We are close to snagging an apartment that we both really like and for us...that is HUGE! We were offered a washer and dryer combo worth $1,200 for free - just because someone wanted to bless us. Thank you God! We begin our pre-marital counseling next week with a great guy on staff. Looking forward to see what advice he has to offer. This relationship stuff is fun, but I wouldn't want to take this marriage thing on with anyone else. It really helps that I love this man more than life itself. Cause somedays it's not that easy. We are two different people, with different personalities and different opinions...it can cause friction. But, we work things out, ask for forgiveness and move on. Ain't love grand?
Now that camp is done and I'm back to reality, I'll try to write more frequently. Reality without rest time and pool time...yuck! I want to go back:(
