Hello 2011

Hooray for a new year! I always get excited about new beginnings but I shyed (shied?) away from making huge New Year's resolutions.  As I told most of the Corner House during Sunday's conference call, I'm trying to do little things more regularly--wearing my retainers, putting my shoes away, making my bed in the morning etc. I should put up reminders to keep that up because it's really not hard and doesn't take a ton of time.  It's just getting in the habit I guess.

I have good news about my heart! I think that I might be over Oscar (knock on wood).  It took long enough, geez.  Some of you know that over the past few weeks I've been desperately lonely--missing my Whitworth community and wanting a guy as well.  In my miserableness, almost any guy that crossed my path became a possibility.  Sure, boy craziness is not the most positive place to be but I realized that I'm not reverting to Oscar.  I'm looking for someone new and that makes me so happy even if I have to be a little lonely until I find him.

My sister and I went to Crossview (the church whose pastor is a Whitworth grad) on Saturday and Pastor Josh came up to us afterward and introduced us to a whole slew of people. He invited me to his small group on Wednesday so I might check it out.  It would be so nice to have a quality group of people to spend time with.  However, the play is going to take over my life here pretty soon. Next week we'll have rehearsal every night in costume! I'll be glad when it's over. I have to keep reminding myself that I CHOSE to be part of this.  I like it when I'm reahearsing, it's just so far away and inconvenient. Ok well enough about me. On to reading your blogs. Love.
