eclectic

this week. monday and tuesday night worked. drove home tuesday night after work. wednesday, decorated in the interior of the house for christmas. thursday, helped make the big meal. delicious, as always, in the west household. then decorated the exterior of the house. had dessert. went to see the magic tree. then watched kate and leopold with markli. friday/today, printed off some family photos at walgreens. went to kaldi's coffeehouse and left from there to come back to olathe. had to work tonight. then i came back and cleaned the suite. trash and recycling were out of control. took care of those and the dishes, small things on the floor. it looks good now. i then decided i would have a late night extreme workout. as i was walking out. it was rather late. like late. it reminded me of a time that i loved. it was almost exactly a year ago. finals for first semester were done and i was headed off to seattle. amanda and westie were out in the parking lot waiting to take me to the airport. it was so early in the morning and there was snow on the ground. it was so peaceful. you know when the roads are covered and you don't hear any car sounds. it's so quiet, so great. i would like to enjoy another one of those moments. (wouldn't mind the flying out to seattle part either.) :) so i came back. showered. straightened my hair. (it's getting longer finally.) got my computer ready for blogging and then set up the television for watching a good movie. pride and prejudice. i can now enjoy it now that i have written new entry. it's getting to the good parts now.

welp, goodbye.

enchiladas

just made some chicken enchiladas for some friends. i finally have it down. i love cooking. i have some time to relax now. i had something at 8 but it was canceled--which i'm kind of thankful for. i need to do some homework though. i'll be back home in a week. crazy. pretty ready to be home. relax. can't wait until christmas and having the family all here. :) can't wait, can't wait. now for some homework. or, maybe just some lounging and part of a movie. i never have any substantial to update on. sorry to the few who read it. ha

have a great!

ohio

currently visiting the brother and sister-in-law. :) it's very nice. relaxing. visited a few places here and in columbus, ohio. campus is pretty large compared to mnu. some newer--very nice looking. i felt like i should blog but now i'm not sure what to blog about. i'm adjusting to my job. only got to work once this last week since we came here. next week i work 17 hrs again, i think. might have to change that to just two nights instead of three. i do like to have a social life. hahah. :) but really. i'm really loving the music artist, nathan phillips. his album, postcard, is lovely. you should check him out here.

the small group i am "leading" is going well. i'm missing it this week though. it's a great group. i hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as i am. i can be a leader in certain areas of life. it's interesting seeing which ones they are. it's also just interesting learning things about myself. sometimes from another person's view. haven't been planning ahead much lately. i'm not sure if that is a good or bad. i don't like planning ahead and then it not working out. so, i get my hopes up for nothing. i guess it's a good thing because i'm okay with not making plans. just take what comes along. i have the opportunity to go on a mission trip this summer. this one would be two weeks long in guatemala. there is a one week trip too; different time. i'm not sure about it all though. i'm going to be praying about it. always wonder what will come along in life.

it is quite late back home and even more so here. a whole hour more. not very tired and that will be bad for tomorrow. we are painting the nursery and i'll need energy. going to try to go to bed.

YO

have a great.
