I am glad I can write right now because if I had to sit here and just wait I would go mad. anyway just a little update from me her in Texas

Please Pray

Last night while talking to my Mom ont he phone I reacieved some very hard news. one of our family friends died not too long ago and it has been very hard. She was an elderly woman but it just didn't seem like she would be gone so soon. If you are reading this and you know me please pray for me. I have lost several lost ones in the past year and this doesn't make it easier. Please pray also for her husband, Jack. thank you :)

Happy easter...no belated :(

ok so I know that I am late in saying this but HAPPY EASTER everyone!!!!! I had a good Easter weekend. What did I do? Well.....nothing really. I went to church on Sunday and that was about it. But I liked it because I could rest. It was nice to catch up on some most needed sleep :) But in all it was great, how about you?

Spring, Spring, Spring!

Sring is here and I am loving it! I honestly never thought that Texas could look so beautiful but it does. As the chill of winter wind falls away the trees begin to bloom and it looks like a huge calibration of sorts. Oh it is wonderful. When the wind blows now it’s not the kind of wind that makes you pull your coat closer but the kind that makes you throw your arms out and welcome it with a smile. Or at least that is how I feel about it. The other day my roomies and I went out to take pictures and we had so much fun. We went to several different locations and took over 200 pictures! It was great fun to say the least and I was able to spend a great deal of time out of doors. Oh how lovely it was to walk in the wind and see nature for more than a moment as I pass by. We went to a nature preserve to take some pictures and that was just indescribable. I really miss being able to take those long walks that I had grown so fond of back home where I would troll up on the mountains and sit and just listen to the creek and the trees in the wind. This was a small taste of that but a little is better than none, right? Well here are some pictures from the event and hopefully in the coming days I will be able to post more…ENJOY

I don't think so

Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence

You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks. You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent. An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer. Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best. You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

So I don't think hardly any of this applies to me at all :(

International Women’s Day

Today is the first of march and that means that in eight days it will be the “International Women’s Day”. Many of you might be scratching you heads at this point and wondering…what is this “international Women’s day” and why have I not heard of it? There is a very simple answer to that one, if you have not lived in Russia you would not know it was a holiday. It is sort of like the Russian Valentines day and they all would like to think that it is “international” but…I won’t say any more :)

I'm BACK!!!

I am sorry for not writing for so long but for the past week and a half I was totally out of commission. I got sick but then on top of that had an infected tooth. Not fun. I was running a fever for about four days but now I am on antibiotics and I had my tooth worked on. All better. Well at least I am feeling better and am working.

Today was one of my co-workers birthday and that as always in my department is fun. We try to make it as much of a secret as possible but seeing how she normally orchestrates such things she was expecting it…no fun :( Just kidding it was a lot of fun and I am glad that I was able to be here for it. I had enough of lying in bed doing absolutely nothing.

The weather is finally warming up and it is lovely. I miss snow and all that good stuff that goes along with winter but it is nice to have a nice warm day with just a slight breeze. I love it and am looking forward to taking a walk :)
