Even though I had Monday off, the work week was just long. Each day seemed so long. Just trying to follow a new schedule doesn't seem to help. Oh the joy of every day being so unpredictable and all the changes that I have no control over.
I've been missing Josh a lot this week. I've also gotten to talk to him quite a bit on skype this week, such a blessing. I am so thankful for technology. I don't know what I'd do without it. Reaching the halfway point of being apart from him here in about 2 weeks. Not so fun. I can't wait for him to come back.
Wedding planning is kind of slow at the moment. I just don't ever feel like doing any of it. Just got a letter in the mail from Wendy's Bridal today saying that the Bridesmaid dresses have arrived. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited. Gotta go pick them up for the girls. Glad that is done with now we just need to make sure everyone gets them altered on time. I need to get my dress altered too. Seriously counting down the days til my wedding. Today Josh figured out how many weeks. It sounds closer that way. Like 35 weeks which is still over 200 days. It will come pretty quickly I think once Spring hits.
So wishing Josh was here and not in another country right now.
Today has been one of the most relaxing days in a long time. I went shopping with my mom and was mostly relaxing all day. Didn't worry about anything or work on much stuff. I got a dress, a new winter petticoat, a pair of jeans and a new purse. :-) Love shopping with my mom.
My life isn't to eventful, just work, church, and wedding planning.
Worked on my piano piece that I'm composing some more a couple days ago and it's coming a long. It sounds pretty. I'm having trouble coming up with a measure that can transition the piece from theme a to theme b. It will come with time I guess. I just don't spend much time working on it right now.
I am loving the fact that I am teaching private piano lessons. It brings joy to my week to teach music. I don't know if I still have a voice student or not, the student has missed the past 3 lessons so I'm not sure if the student is going to continue. I hope so though.

Winter Break and the New Year
The most exciting thing I had over winter break was SALT.
SALT was intense. God is totally moving in this world. God also wants to pour out His Spirit.
At SALT I experienced God in a new way. It felt so different yet very peaceful. I experience Christ without the hyped up emotional feeling type of stuff that many expect when seeking God. It's a season where I'm growing in trust that is deeper than I understand. I guess God is making himself more real to me but digging deeper than just being on a feeling emotional level. It's like I am having real conversations during my quiet times where I'm having to be patient in listening too. I got refreshed and challenged in my walk with Christ.
I guess a new year means a new season for me especially with my relationship with God.
So this week has been interesting and extremely challenging at work. Changes are never easy and I'm seeing that in black and white as I've gone to work this week after the Christmas break. I'm also learning how difficult it is to communicate with multiple people and try to stay on the same page, who are all trying to help figure out one person to help the person learn things and become independent. It's quite frustrating and I'm just trying to stay positive and do as I'm told yet there's always clashing in attitudes, perceptions, and understanding. I don't like it but I'm suppose to be the light in this dark place. I also feel alone but I feel alone a lot. Getting to know people and open up.
At SALT I went to a session called "When to speak up, when to shut up" and I think that phrase is really coming in handy at work for me. Even though the session was focused on witnessing, it's also helping me control my talkative self and falling into conversations that really don't matter.
The new year brings new things. Learning something every day I guess. Growing up a little every day too.
Getting into gear with planning my wedding. It's 9 months away and that seriously overwhelms me. This morning I was speaking with my mom about it and she asked me how many weeks away is my wedding and I said I don't know. I told her how many days since theknot.com counts down for me. It's like 261 or something like that. Then my mom actually calculated how many weeks. I told her to stop cause its overwhelming and scary too. Even though it is exciting and fun too. Stress hopefully won't happen too bad when all the planning really picks up.
Life is busy busy busy...and now all the snow!
