portable potties

today, there was a water main break and my office is completely without water..... there are portable potties outside the building, five stories below me. i have yet to visit them, but i'm feeling a growing need to. i think i will drive next door and ask to use their restroom, since i think this is only affecting my office at this time (my fingers are crossed). all this being said, today has been an interesting day.

answer to prayer

we had a most wonderful weekend.

friday, we went to the honduras benefit dinner. the food was great and so was the company. we sat with some fun married couples and had fun chatting about marriage, children, life, etc... we stayed there for 3 hours.

saturday, we went to the pool to lay out for the afternoon. at 6:30 we met some new friends at this indian restaurant "korma sutra." first of all, it was great getting to do something with a very cool young married couple. second, it was fun to experience the atmosphere and culture of the restaurant. it was probably one of the neatest eating "experiences" i have ever had... and it was really good food too.

after the wonderful meal (which lasted over two hours) we went back to our apartment with our new friends and played "pitch" until midnight. it was so much fun and so refreshing to get to hang out with some great people. we saw our new friends the following day at church and are planning to do something again soon.

thank you Lord for sending us some wonderful friends!

fly. sara groves.

Speak in a summer tone,
Pause in the afterglow.
Tenderly whisper my name.
Tell me once again, why I am your bride.
So I can fly.
So I can fly.

Pause in your busy day,
Look extra long my way.
Wink at me across the room.
Kiss me longer,
Touch my arm when I am by your side.
So I can fly.
So I can fly.

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh...

Oh, how the little things stregthen my tiny wings.
Help me to take on the world.
When you love me, there's nothing I wouldn't try.
I might even fly,
I might even fly,
I might even fly.

Oooo, I'll fly.

I'll fly. I'll fly.
I will fly.

I will fly,
I'll fly.
I'll fly.
I'll fly.

this song makes me happy. dancing in the kitchen with my husband to this... one of my favorite moments in the last couple of months. :)

plan.initiate.

i don't know if i have always been a planner or if this personality trait suddenly appeared in my late teens. regardless.... it has been a natural tendency of mine for quite some time now.

lately i have been realizing how much i have planned things with friends, initiated events etc...  in my lifetime. as much as i enjoy the after effect of doing this, i loathe being the one with the responsibility when it comes to friendships. i think i sometimes spend too much time trying to maintain and pursue friendships.. and i just grow weary of it or get taken advantage of in the long run.

things have been difficult for me in the friend department lately. i am really praying that God send's someone my way that feels exactly how i do.
