A Little Me Time

Aw hello little ol' blog of mine. I have missed you these last few weeks (!!), but you've been on my mind. There are many things I want to blog and some deep thoughts to release out to the internet world - and soon will! 
Being a good employee and a fabulous wife have been consuming the minutes in my days but a little me time is coming soon (Travis will be at a men's retreat through our church) and I fully intend to enjoy my quiet little vacay at home. : )

Things to happen.. 
+ renting movies that I want to see and won't feel bad asking Trav to sit through it.
+ blogging. Hello!
+ reading the first book of The Hunger Games series. 
(Super excited to join the band wagon on this!)
+ organizing a few cupboards in our kitchen to help make life a little easier for my guy and myself. I've got to have 'some' type of productivity to look back on. ;)

Of course I'll miss T while he's snowboarding, having yummy meals and basking in all the glory that is at Mt. Bachelor. I also have to say that I'm super excited for him to meet new friends, have some time to really get deeper into The Bible with some way amazing guys and have some time for himself to participate in things that he otherwise he might not feel he could do while being here at home with me. Plus if the ladies get together and decided to have a weekend at Sun River I'll totally be jumping on board! : )

I'm excited for him but also prayerful for him (prayerful.. is that a word??). Please join me in praying for Travis and the other 2 dozen or so guys that will be going as well. That they arrive safe, are able to seek further growth in the Bible and establish new friendships. He has a heart for God and wants to always do the right thing and be a great person - I'm so blessed to have him as my husband and learn so much from him daily. This is a trip he has been looking forward to and I couldn't be happier that he sought out the opportunity to go and do so. 

I am anxious and excited to open up a bit more on this blog and I feel ready to do so. As most of my friends know my/our background, I feel that I can use this blog as a vessel to reach out to others who may be facing the same hurdles that I faced/continue to face! I'll leave a little to the imagination with the closing verse below, but am working on a future post. Until then - enjoy your week and I too will continue to see out the joy each day as well!
"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." 
(Psalm 94v19)
