Ketchup and Cake Plops

It has been quite a while since I last posted; not for lack of activity, but for lack of remembering to post. Simple, huh?
Well, let's go ahead and play a little catch up:
  • a school district offered me a job for this coming year, but I declined. It just didn't feel right. The Holy Spirit just wasn't giving me a peace about working in that particular school, which leads me to the next point.
  • i believe the Lord is calling me to move abroad.  I'm currently feeling London. The details are still a little fuzzy as I'm still praying through it.  However, I do think He doesn't want me to go until January. So who knows, 2013 might be the year of Europe!
  • i am a Barista at Starbucks.  I've only worked the past 2 weeks, but I really enjoy it.  The pressure is ON constantly. People know what they want and they don't want you to mess it up. So I'm trying my best to learn at the fastest rate possible. People seem to be receiving the joy I'm emitting, so that's helpful. I might not be quick, but I'm "nice and peppy".
  • i am participating in a wiffle ball league.  We are {unofficially} team "Y.A.MS" aka Young Adult Ministries. Not the best name, but definitely better than being labeled "the singles". Cathi and Sarah are on the team with me and we're having just a blast! We lost 9-17 to the defending league champs, but like Sarah said at practice, "If there's fun to be had, we're going to be having all of it!" :) she's so cute.
  • the girls and I have been able to spend a lot of time together. I'm really enjoying that. Period.
  • Maggie and I are hosted a baby shower for Baby Beckett. I attempted to make cake pops, but they turned out more like cake plops.  Tasty, but ugly.
  • i've gained weight. not excited about that at all.
  • i am registered for one class at ODU to maybe get something happening with this teaching degree.
That's really it.
Not much.
Just keeping busy, but not distracted; I'm grateful to have learned the difference.
