my thoughts on things.: December 2010

a photo post.

so, it is christmas eve eve, and it's strange. it doesn't feel much like christmas, but I am still excited to spend the next week with my family and friends. But here is what has been going on in my life the past couple of weeks, brought to you by my iphone.

The sprint center game with my dad!, pullen-less. but still fun.

flowers at work! aren't they so pretty? so great, my friends are the best. i really am incredibly blessed.

stuff i made for a convention at work. success!

this is cale, he is holding boxers that say "Butt Quack". we picked them out for Ryan at the gift exchange at work. ryan had to leave early, so we were in charge of getting his present-he was a little dissapointed. most everyone else got beer.

cookie decorating in lawrence with katie and whit- it was so fun!

so that is what i have been up to, keeping pretty busy! i love my job, my roommate, and my life right now. I am focusing on the good in it, and know that when the time is right, God will send me on the next journey- to who knows where!

enjoy your holiday!

bottoms up to 2010

as i sit here, cuddled up in my favorite k-state sweatshirt (duh, it's winter, so i have it on all the freaking time), i can't help but think about the past year of my life. 2010. it had its ups and downs, like all years do- but overall, i can say that i learned a lot about who i am. i have now been graduated for 7 months, and i honestly have forgotten college life. it is so great to have a routine, and the weeks go by so quickly. i am learning SO much at work, and I get to do things i really enjoy doing.

while i am often envious of my friends back at k-state, that they get to go to games/all live within 5 minutes of each other, i am starting to realize that that chapter of my life is over. and the next one is just beginning. people around me are growing up, getting married, moving all over and becoming real functioning members of society.

in 2010 i went through joy, stress, heartbreak, unhappiness, confusion, and so much more. and i look forward to what 2011 is going to bring. there is so much unknown in my life, but when i think about it, the more i think about how God knows exactly what my life will entail. he knows what is going to come in the future, and he is preparing me for it with every life step i take.

and now i am watching the scene in chronicles of narnia and they are about to kill aslan. and it is such an incredible portrayal of what Jesus did for us. and it is beautiful.

peace out homeboys and here is to 2011.
