Ahhhhhh.....regular life.
Today was a break in the week. Sunday through Tuesday is fulltime Sanctuary stuff. Thursday through Friday (or Sunday, depending) is always working time. So Wednesday and the odd Thursday or Saturday is regular life time (and some evenings). The time when appointments, coffee, extended family get-togethers, banking, etc takes place for me.
Today was a nice day. Some of these regular life days are a little stressful. Because I just want to stay at home and have some quiet time. Other days have a few too many things in one.
But today was quite enjoyable. A little sleep-in, a pancake breakfast, shaving my legs (I know some of you readers don't want to know that detail), two appointments, the bank, Bible time and a great coffee with a girlfriend!
To top of the day, Shane and I went to visit our friends, Doug and Christal and their new little addition, Keegan! He's cute! And we love bringing new outfits for new babies! One of the nice parts of the trip was that Shane brought along the cds from our wedding. Well, they were the cds that were supposed to be the music for the dance that we were supposed to have. It ended up being cancelled because the misquitos were just brutal that year. So, one day we'll have to pull out those cds and have a dance party in lieu of the one we didn't get to have at our wedding!
It was special though to listen to them together in the car this evening! It was a nice walk down memory lane!
Christina, when you are back in the country, I think Steph, you and myself need to bring out some Avril for old times' sake and have a little dance party!
Goodnight folks. Night shifts start tomorrow and I got to get some sleep on board!

Ode to my beautiful car.....oh how I loved thee......
My beautiful Alero is no more. Stolen this morning and likely written off. Well, not officially yet (per MPI), but according to the pictures on my hubbie's blog (Shane), you will likely agree that it is pretty much toast. This is the news I received, per the voice mail from the police, as I was walking out the door to go to work.
I've been a little sad for my car today. It was my first day back in the transit seat again. One I had hoped not to discover ever again. I walked and bused places where I fondly remember driving and parking. As I bused home after work, passing 7-11, I sadly thought back to last night and stared at the parking stall that I had driven into and parked while easily getting a slurpee.
We had some good memories in our beautiful Alero. She never did yet get a name. I'm not really into naming my car. We bought her together, while we were still dating, not even engaged. We drove home after our engagement, in her. We drove around on our wedding day in her. We took a few nice trips to KC with her. She was good to us. I even pictured her having car seats for the babies one day.
But, not all is lost. My heroic husband saved Cheeks and his race car bling.
Cheeks is our baboon that had the domain of the car. Shane bought him for me while we were still dating. Shane would tenderly call me "baboon" and therefore had a habit of buying me small gifts that had to do with monkeys. Cheeks was like a child to us. And those steelers ripped his tag off his ear.
So, today is a sad day in this household. I'm glad that no lives were lost, not even Cheeks'. And really, though I feel more than just this lightheartedness, in the end, it is just a car. Not worth eternal value.

Ahhhhh......
It is great what going to bed at 9:30pm can do for you! I had a wicked headache after work last night and my hubbie was out so I put myself to bed nice and early. I slept the moment my head hit the pillow and didn't stir for anything until my alarm went this morning at 6am.
The head is feeling much better! One more day of work to go before I get a few off! 7:45pm, here we come!

Do you ever wake up totally in love?
I sure did this morning. Something in my dreams made me realize (even though I already know it) that I have the greatest guy! In my dream, I realized that Shane was the perfect match for me. That it wasn't just convenient or the way it worked out but that he was really the best match for me.
I woke up so relieved that I had picked him! And feeling so grateful for my husband and my marriage. It was around 6:30am...so I didn't want to wake him up to tell him how much I love him. So, I leaned over to make sure he was still beside me sleeping, kissed his arm and gave him a hug. I just couldn't help myself!
I have the apartment to myself on wednesday mornings as Shane is out with Brian. I have been having some prayer and worship time. In the midst of it all, I just had to look through my wedding pictures. Ahhhhh.....what a beautiful day that was. I feel pretty emotionally sappy this morning! Now, I can get back to my Bible reading! Hosea, here I come!
I guess that is what happens when you wake up in love!
