hopeless but hopeful


i am soooo sick of pulling my camera out of my purse when I see something I HAVE to take a picture of. I get the camera going, and take the picture. THE STUPID THING IS TURNED AROUND SO IT TAKES A PICTURE OF MY FACE. like the time I SWEAR I saw reese witherspoon at Subway (ended up with a picture of my forehead) or when I was trying to take a picture of what I thought could be mold on my BRAND NEW deli meat. I got this lovely face. (yes, this is my focused face.) I literally have like 20 pictures currently on my phone of myself, when I think I am taking a picture of something in front of me.

Remember how I wanted to cook dinner for my family one night a week?
well i found an awesome recipe in my Cooking Light magazine for Enchilada Cassarole and jalapeno refried black beans.
i went to the store and got allll the ingredients. (30 dollars later...)
I even splurged and got the extra nice hamburger meat :) it was like 8 flipping dollars.
so i was like okay. everyone will be home Wednesday night. i'll make it then. get home from work, walk in the door and say, "umm MOM, I WAS MAKING DINNER TONIGHT!! WHY DID YOU MAKE TERIYAKI CHICKEN?"
she forgot i was going to cook. fine. whatever.
next night, I decide to try again. I am getting the ingredients out and realize I can't find the hamburger. NOT in the freezer, not in the fridge... hmm...
you guys. i left it in my car. IN MY CAR. for like three days. vomit. and it was LIKE EIGHT DOLLARS! :)
so needless to say, I haven't made dinner yet for the fam. not off to a great start :)
Drew and I started our pre-marital class last week. We walk into the place, and there is a big ole cat waiting at the doorstep. drew is allergic to cats. like can't breathe. :)
The guy from the other couple is going to be a male nurse. that is great, but i think we may struggle finding things the boys have in common :)
I have kind of switched jobs. My last day at my old office was so sad. :( they threw me a party and all got together and got drew and I aprons because they know I love to bake so much :) so sweet. :) I will take a picture of us in our matching aprons soon. ;) i know you can't wait. Today was the first day at the "new" place, and I can't believe how God is just opening up my naive little eyes wider and wider and wider everyday.
twice this week (yes and it's only Wednesday) I was having a little emotional bride-to-be/busy at work/ HATE THE COLD RAINY NIGHTS/miss my friends/miss my old co-workers/miss my sister moment. during the first tearfest, i had JUST hung up the phone with my mom where I had called her crying saying, "MOMMMMMMMYYYYY, WHAT IF I DON'T GO TO HEAVEEEENNNN?" (I'm been weird lately. I am kinda obsessed with obituaries and think about death alot. not in a morbid way, just i think about it alot.???) anyways. RIGHT then. Kailee called me. it was PERFECT. she always makes me feel not so crazy :)
then today, I was going off about these CRAZY!!!! (watch Dateline tonight, anyone?) things that are happening at work and I was just getting so IRRITATED when I saw the little facetime symbol pop up on my phone. It was baby Evy and her momma!!!!!! AHHHH. I had never facetimed anyone before, and yes, i am late to the party, but IT IS SO FREAKING COOL! :) and those beautiful ladies are just so good for my soul. and baby E took a STEP today :)
enough of my emotional rant. i had a rough week, but each time I was feeling hopeless, I got a HUGE boost of hope :) life is good. ;)
