Okay, so the title is just a joke that Jen and I have been doing for about a week now. No I do not take God's will lightly, but the way Jen and I are seeing it seems to just be ironic, so we laugh at irony, not will.
I would also like to make a sad point that it has been exactly one month since I wrote last. Tragic right? I guess I've just been putting everything else first, and sometimes that is better. I've fallen way behind on homework to keep up with this thing, and I've also been spending a lot of my hours listening to Mark Driscoll sermons, which I HIGHLY recommend. I would say listen to the Peasant Princess, but any of them are good! I swear! Other than that, I've been taking trips and doing homework, and being with friends and trying to just make it out alive of this semester.
One of the bigger things that happened in the last month was of course the Election. Obama won. There are happy thoughts and frustrated thought and sad thoughts and ecstatic thoughts. But Seward made a good point and it basically was that when all of it boils down, we have to put faith in our God for He knows what He is doing, and we hope and pray that God chooses Obama for something awesome and significant. I fully trust in God for doing what is right, so I don't worry. I don't keep thinking about the election. I just sit back and watch God's glory happen :)
Another thing is that my ROOMIE has a friend... I shall call him... Boy. yes. This boy came out of nowhere and Boy is too good to be true. I mean.... he does "MY" dishes, cleans, buys us flowers, and oh so many other things! He is nice, thoughtful, interesting, smart, and funny. And softspoken. Hee hee. I enjoy him a lot and I think Jen is too! So that was just a nice little November surprise for us all. YAY!! Boys in the house make me happy. Just don't take a shower during my "get ready time". Lol.
Jen and I also went to Chicago this past weekend to see Marlise! It was a lot of fun because the two of us decided to stop late Friday night at a hotel instead of driving to chicago at such late hours. It was actually a lot of fun and then we felt refreshed for the day with Marlise! We went downtown and bought things and took fantastic pictures and watched the light festival! Except the bummer is is that I lost Jen's camera!!!!! Actually I'm pretty sure it was taken from me, but at any rate I cried and felt really bad. Lame. Jen wasn't as mad as I thought she'd be, but I was mad at myself. I'm getting over it slowly though... sOrRy Jen!!!!!!!!!! Oh yah, Ali and her bf met us in Chicago, so that was a lot of fun. Too bad I was mopey. Boo.
Seward also had a show with her classmates in the cities to basically present their projects that they have been slaving away on for like the whole semester. I was really really proud of her. She is so talented and so smart and I just cherish her and everything that she does. I couldnt' have been more proud of her than that moment... and of course when she got baptized. Hee hee
So much to keep writing about but so little time. I'll try to write more this week since it's already Thanksgiving weekend and i'll hopefully find more time then 10 minutes to delve into my mind and all the things I think about! But for now, I bid you farewell and I hope everyone has a great week!
