Lost Count

I know I have less than thirty days, but havent counted today. the puppy is adorable and i might stay just because of her...nah, better not. I'll have one of my own one day.
Today was the day of Kadie's Art Show to support her trip to Uganda. She called earlier today and reminded me. I wish i could've been there, but i had to work. Kadie, being the diamond that she is, called me afterwards to let me know how it went. I gave her a stack of pictures to sell to help her fundraiser, and she said that lots of people really liked them and that people actually bought them. I am definately the harshest critic on my stuff, so i think that no one would want to spend money on it. I guess i am wrong. She is such an incredible motivator. I wish I had the heart for it like she does. She offered to sell my art for me, but I am not sure about that. She says she still needs to pray about it. She just hates to see artists not doing anything with their art. that would be me. I sold a couple pieces a month or so ago. First time ever selling my art....i usually give it away (because i dont think its worth a price). I should really get into it though. one could make money at it, and i could use money. so if anyone is interested in original art to put on their walls...you know where i am...but now i think you have to pay for it.
Anyway, thats exciting for me.
Levi offered me a job with his company. that i am a little more timid about. It is more about designing web sites...which i have been very lax on lately. i should really get into it though. I enjoy doing it..just one of those things that is frustrating at the start because i want to know everything right from the get go. but i guess in these cases..practice makes perfect. i will get into when i get to california and have time off (while looking for a job).
anyway---tomorrow (or rather today) we are moving the parents. exciting...i love lots of open space and after all their crap is gone there will be LOTS of space. i just really dont like clutter...the less you have the better...and what you have should mean something, i guess. but i dont like lugging crap around either. so maybe after i settle down and get a permanent residence i can get lots of crap and a dog!!! oh for those days.
i have been talking to Brady online...one of my greatest online buddies...and he just renews a faith in me that men of integrity and a passion for God really DO exist. He cracks me up. Has a great personality and a contagious fire about him. Plus, he has this adorable michigan accent...he is just an overall great guy. Sucks he lives in Michigan, but all my friends live far away so i guess i should be used to it. just sucks sometimes when you would rather hang out with them. allwell.
that doesnt mean i dont love the people here as well. cause i do, because i get to see them.
well i guess that is enough for today...look below at the adorableness of puppy!!!

“Jesus, lover of my soul, stir up in us a spirit of rebellion against evil. Give us a passion to fight for you, to fight for love and purity. Be a constant reminder in our hearts and minds that this life is about adventure. Let our passion be to YOU and YOUR will. Give us a surge in our souls to conquer over the things we struggle with, the things we hold on to. Be clear and concise. You are the mightiest of warriors, take each of us aside in a quiet place and motivate us, give us the pep talk we so desperately need. Your love is fantastic, adventurous and powerful. Grant us an experience with it, give us a taste. All glory to YOU because you are the author and finisher. All to you oh Lord…your lil princess.”
