27 Dresses!!!!

Finally not working nights tonight...instead eating pizza and watching 27 Dresses!! Such a great movie and a great night to just veg after all in the past 2 days I have been extra productive. I ran errands all over town today, wrote out my menus for the next 2 months and went shopping for all my household things and TONS of groceries, and on top of that I cleaned my whole house! Speaking of household items I have been in Bismarck for almost 5 months and have only bought toilet paper and paper towel once...oh the life a single person that goes back to GF every chance she gets...HaHa!! (Sorry that was just a random fact for ya!) Anyways, still hoping a job back home in GF but until that I am just counting the days until Jared is coming to visit for 5 whole days...so excited!! We have pretty much no plans for when he gets here which is fine with me cause we can veg, watch movies, bake cookies, go car shopping, make each other breakfast, or none of the above just as long as we get to do it together...So ExCiTeD!!! :)

A Plethora of Tangential Thoughts

So as most people that have known me for more than 5 minutes can tell you....I think a LOT...TOO MUCH usually but I think when I work nights I think even more. I have thoughts that run in every direction as this post proly will be testimony too! I will tell you that tonight I have a billion things on my mind but one of them is foster care and you might say what does a 23 yo unmarried female have to do with foster care? Well, I have always had a desire in my heart to do foster care and I recently found out you can do it even if you are unmarried so this stirred the burning desire in my heart for it. But, after thinking about it more I started to feel like it is not exactly what I should be doing at this time. I enjoy my freedom to run to Walmart anytime of the day and not bring anything but my keys and credit card with me and I enjoy being able to go home for the weekend and spend time running around with Jared or just laying around watching football and eating too many unhealthy foods. All these freedoms would be "modified" if I chose to do foster care. I think at this point I would be capable of handling the situations but eventually I would feel frustrated by it so it would be better to invest my heart into something else. I have not decided what exaclty that might be. I also have discovered that when examing my life and how much I enjoy my freedom I need to take full advantage of it while I can. Don't get me wrong...I want nothing more in life than to be a wife and mom and have billions of diapers to change and cupcakes to make but that is not where God has placed me in my life at this very second so I guess now is the time to celebrate what He has blessed me with at this time which include: a good paying job, a car that works (and will get me back to GF), a family that loves and misses me, sweet friends, a wonderful, loving boyfriend, a warm place to live and bed to sleep in, and soooo much more!!! I apoligize for the crazy bouncing around effect in this entry but I guess as I would chart this at work "Pt has tangential speech/thoughts"....just all over the map!!! HaHa!! Until next time! :)
