Okay… okay… I know I need to write in my blog! But I have been so behind on writing these past 3 weeks I just wanted to give everyone a quick recap of what I have been up to. Will be uploading photos soon after this weekend, oh and be sure to watch there is some exciting news in the video. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Here is another attempt at a video blog update for you guys, I’m still working on the editing but I think it is coming along. I also thought it would be fun to include the bloopers at the end of the video, so be sure to wait for them. Hope you enjoy!
Will love find me this Valentine’s Day…? Hum, I wonder. Do I really want it to find me? That is a question I keep playing through my head this morning. I think I do but I don’t want it forced. I want things to happen in His timing and not my own. Tonight, I’m suppose to be meeting up a group of people downtown in Circle City after I get done babysitting. It should be a lot of fun and I don’t feel like I really need to worry about not having a date for it. I’m content with just being me and if something happens it will happen. So for being single on Valentine’s I’m feel pretty happy.
To give you a quick update about Thursday, Mr. Mansion was a no show… because he was still not feeling well. However he kept texting me all night and made it known that he felt really bad. Even though I was bummed I still had blast with Dan and Nicole! I kind of figured he wasn’t going to come anyways but interesting enough he did ask last night what I was up today. So this afternoon he is coming over to hang out… I don’t know what to expect but I’m just going to let it play out and see where it goes. Besides it would be nice to become better friends first.
Well I have to run… Mr. Mansion just called and said he is grabing me some lunch and will be here soon. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day, I will be praying for you.
What a week this has been!!!! I feel like in the in just the couple days God has placed some amazing job opportunities and people in my life. Granted because I have been so incredibly busy moving forward with my career, I haven’t had a chance to sit down and blog about it. I thought I would just take a few seconds to give an update of how things were going.
The Job Search:
I have two full-time job opportunities that are so much more than I could ever ask for. Ones I did not look for and never dreamed of finding. I know without a doubt that this is God working in my life and wherever He leads me it will be for His glory and not mine. I will be sharing more information about them very soon, but I have to work about the details first. Thank you for being so patient and understanding while I figure this out. It is a really exciting time for me and I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Dating:
I found out from one of my girlfriends that Mr. Fitness has a baby?!?! And he is trying to move back in with this baby’s mama?!?!? What the heck ?!?! How did he think he could get away with hiding that, seriously. So from that stand point of not being upfront and honest about something that BIG in your life… I’m not about to deal with that. Mr. Fitness is O.U.T. of the picture for good.
Things with Mr. Pepperdine have been going well, we have gone back to just being friends again. He has been a great support through all of the crazy stuff going on in my life right now. I’ve really appreciated his friendship and glad we are communicating again.
After a week or so of being really quite… Mr. Seattle called me two days ago and updated me what was going on in his life. I also found last weekend he was less than a two hour drive away from me and didn’t bother to tell me. My heart sank when I found that out but in reality it wouldn’t of worked out going to see him anyways. Which granted he was here on business but I would of appreciated a call or something saying he was that close. Non the less, I think he is just a little busy at the moment and wrapped up in making his way in the world. I know what he is going through because I’m in the same place right now. So for now I will just sit tight and maybe later something will bloom out of it. But if not at least I know I didn’t invest to much time waiting on him.
In a nut shell things have been off the charts… but I’m really blessed and willing to go where God wants to lead me in my job and relationships. Please keep me in your prayers, for as I’m pretty sure I will be making the one of the biggest decision I have ever made in my life over the next few weeks. This is groundbreaking… and could be the moment that changes my life forever.
Here is the well needed update of what has been going on the past couple days…
The Job Search:
There is an angel sitting on my shoulder… whisking away my fear of the unknown. I have never felt so comforted about things and my faith is continuing to stand strong. With everything going on, I should feel like my world is spinning out of control. The job search is still going… I’ve been on the hunt for a while but opportunities are starting to present themselves and I know it will just be a matter of time before things work out. There is also the possibility of starting a freelance company and maybe joining forces with another designer?!?! Which be really exciting… could this be where God is leading me? Well, I will keep you informed what happens once I hear more.
New MacBook Pro:
I feel bad because I haven’t had the time to write lately. Being unemployed has kept me busy looking for a new job. My living room has become my new office. I’ve been struggling to keep up with everything because my mac hasn’t been running really well and it takes forever to do anything on it. But today, God answered one of my prayers… lately I have been having to turn down freelance opportunities because of my computer was over 6 years old and extremely slow. However, it just goes to show God knows your needs and always provides. My grandparents called me and told me they wanted to buy me a new computer! Now, hold the phone… who does that?!?! I couldn’t believe they wanted to do that for me, lets just say when grandma told me I had tears of joy streaming down my face. It is just what I needed, when I needed it. I just blow away right now of God’s amazing timing of things. I’m truly blessed by everything they have done for me and for God’s amazing provisions.
Dating:
So this past Friday, a married couple I’m friends with tried hooking me up with one of there friends. They ended having me over to there house for dinner and a movie for more or less a double date. Mr. Double Dater was nice and the evening was really fun. We had an amazing meal and then sat around playing apples to apples… after which we all watched a movie together. Great night but can I be honest? It all felt more like we were all great friends hanging out and there wasn’t really any sparks flying at all. So even though it was a great night and fun, I don’t think it will be going anywhere.
Mr. Seattle started texting me again… interesting. Just when I said the book was probably closed, it opens once again. His texts are still far and few between but I was excited to hear from him. I know on my end, I still feel really attracted to him… so we will see. I’m more or less just hoping.
Besides that Mr. Pepperdine an old college crush has been trying to be more involved in my life. He keeps sending me random text, just seeing how I’ve been doing. But I don’t know what he really wants so I haven’t paid much attention to them and that ship has mostly sailed now. After what he pulled back in August I pretty sure it would take a lot for me to feel comfortable putting my heart out again for him. I’m just not ready to go down that road anytime soon.
Lastly, may I shed some light a big issue? Have you ever been taken advantage of or been walked all over by someone you liked? Mr. BRipple is such a guy and is one of those who just doesn’t get it. Over this past summer we kind of liked each other and he seemed like a cool guy to hang out with but ended up being a real jerk. Well a couple days ago he texted me out of the blue and he had the nerve to ask if I wanted to come over and snuggle. Okay for one he hasn’t talked with me in months and second where does he get the gull to think that would be okay to do? Who does he think I am?!?! Needless to say, I wrote him back and told him very nicely that the only reason he should contact me is to be a friend and nothing more right now. I don’t need a meaningless relationship (who only calls once in a while) and I knew that was exactly what he was looking for. The reason I’m mentioning this is because I wanted to remind you guys that we have feelings and your really messing with them when you pull stuff like this. Seriously, if you don’t want to be considered a jerk be mindful in trying to make healthy relationships. Otherwise in the end you will just end up alone, no girl likes a guy who fools around. And ladies you need to stick up for yourself with guys like that. Because if you don’t they will always treat you without respect and continue this little game they are playing. Sticking up for myself has helped me avoid a lot of bad situations. Excuse me for venting but I felt like it needed to be said.
New Friends:
Since I’ve had more time off, I’ve been able to hang out with friends and be able to make some new ones at networking events. It has been really interesting to see those new friendships take off. The kind of friends you feel like you have known forever. Last Friday after the blind double date I met up with some of these new found friends at Moon Dogs. It was awesome to be able to hang out and just have fun being goof-balls with each other. I’m really thankful that God has stuck some amazing people in my life. I can’t believe how much networking changes how many people you know in a matter of days. Seriously I feel like in the past two weeks I’ve met over 50 new people… it is crazy!!!
Well I think it is time for bed, however I can’t tell you how much I have appreciated all your encouraging words and prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it means the world to me.
After a couple hours of waiting my mom just called and said they just finished up with my grandfather’s heart surgery. The doctors ran a test on the growth that they removed and found out it was a benign tumor (which is non-cancerous).The tumor was located on the side of my grandfather’s heart and pieces of it were slowly breaking off. The doctors explained to my mom when a piece of the tumor breaks off, it causes you to have a stroke. Most likely the reason why he had his first stroke a few months ago. The great news is that they got it all removed just as another piece was about to break off! My mom said everyone should be able to see him in just a half an hour. So I just wanted to give everyone the update and thank you for your prayers. We are very blessed they caught the tumor when they did.
Just thought I would give a quick update to those who are interested. Tonight, I’m going to go on my second date with Mr. Seattle before he leaves town, I’m beyond excited!!! Even though I don’t know what is going to come out of this, I know God’s hand will guide us through it. I’m just blessed God has shown me that there are still good guys out there. I’ll have to let you know what happens after tonight.
Today… my date with Mr. Seattle was more then I hoped for. We couldn’t have hit it off more! It started right before I was planning to meet up with him… since the snow was falling really hard in Circle City we had to push back the time a little. I got a call from him about a half an hour later saying police had shut down the interstate and he was a little lost. Being optimistic about the situation, I wasn’t about a little snow stand in the way of having the chance to meet him. So I pulled out a map and for an hour, I navigated him through the corn fields of northern Circle City to where I was. Not trying to pat myself on the back here, but I have to say I gave really good directions! The whole time we were talking on the phone we kept laughing and telling each other jokes. By the time he made it I was already really excited to meet him. Again having impeccable timing we both got to Paradise Bakery at the same time. As soon as Mr. Seattle walked into the door… I knew we would hit it off. His smile was warm, his personality delightful and he was just as good looking as he was in his photos. After we ordered he paid for my meal without even thinking about it. Needless to say, I was very impressed because I haven’t had a guy to do that for me in a long time. We sat down to eat and before we knew we had been sitting, talking, laughing and telling stories for 4 hours! Is that even possible?!?! We went from not knowing each other at all to talking like we have been friends forever! Even now, I still can believe it actually happened like that. Having to make it to Cincinnati by dinner time, I thought he better get going because of the weather. However, that was the last thing I really wanted. Getting up, he grabbed my coat and helped me put it on. After he did that, I just wanted to melt… I thought that was so sweet. Walking me to my car he gave me hug and told me he definitely wanted to see me again. Seriously, from that moment I have been on cloud nine. I couldn’t have been more blessed by meeting Mr. Seattle. From what I know of him right now he has most of all the qualities I’m looking for in a guy. I just pray and hope whatever happens, it is in God’s will. All I have to do now is just wait and see where He leads us.
I’m meeting Mr. Seattle in two hours! He is on his way to Cincinnati from Taylor University, so he asked if he could stop by for breakfast since he will be driving through Circle City. I found he doesn’t leave till Wed, so there might be a chance if this goes well I will get to see him again before he leaves. I don’t know what is wrong with but I’m starting to get really nervous… my stomachs in knots! Crossing my fingers I hope deep down it does, but only time will tell. Well just thought I would give a quick update, I’ll be writing more soon.
