Okay, so for all of you who know me, you know that I have always wanted to be a ski instructor.  I never thought it would happen though...I don't know why, I just figured it wasn't possible so I never tried.  Well, a month ago I thought "what the heck" and applied at several places.  Go me!  Because now I have been offered a ski instructing position at Winter Park, CO!!  I would probably head that way in November for training, then be there till April when the season ends!  Oh my gosh!  Wow!  I can't believe it!  I had concerns because I am not the most wonderful skier in the world...I consider myself to be intermediate, and what I lack in skill, I make up for in passion...but when I spoke with the manager she said that she thinks I will be a perfect fit because of all my teaching experience I already have through piano!  They'll train me once I get there, then throughout the season I'll have many opportunities to better my own abilities!  Which means, I will learn how to snowboard before the season is over...free lessons baby! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will be on the mountain every day!  Skiing every day!  Teaching and skiing every day!  If I had gotten married 2 years ago as planned, this so would not be happening!  I'm not sure on all the benefits yet, but I think I get several free passes for family and friends...so if you like to ski, come visit me!!!!!!!  I'm so excited!  I need someone to hug!  Even my parents were okay with it!  Well, my mom still has her questions, but for my mom, she is dealing with it really well.  And my dad basically told me to go do it!  Ahhhhh!!!!!!  I'm going to be a ski instructor!

Okay, enough of that...I think I over did it on the weights yesterday at the gym.  I have to be really careful with my shoulder because of when I tore it up (yes, I was skiing, but it wasn't my fault!) and I thought I was being careful, but apparently I did too much cause now it's hurting.  Oooh, a massage would be amazing right now.  =-)

I watched 8Below tonight...I love those dogs!  They're beautiful!  If you haven't seen the movie, watch it!  It's sad though...I admit, I had a few runaway tears. 

Man, I'm sleepy.  Night everyone!

I believe that even as Christians, we are still human and not perfect...but I that because of Christ we can have forgiveness.

Okay, since they keep asking questions, I'm going to make up answers haha...remember, I DO NOT have a boyfriend and I am completely making these up!

Where'd you meet? I went to Europe this last summer to visit several different countries and I met Jace in France. I couldn't understand a local and he stopped to help me. We ended up walking around the city the rest of the day and it was so romantic. But then, I was leaving the next day to continue my travels. It was a sad goodbye because I thought I'd never see him again. But I enjoyed the rest of my summer abroad and returned to Texas to resume teaching. Then, one day in August, I was just finishing up my lessons for the day, and I heard the door. When I looked up, it was Jace...I couldn't believe it. He had taken a job in Ft. Worth and came to find me. Awww, how sweet...

RANDOM QUESTIONS
Is fighting healthy in a relationship? Not really, but I don't think that any relationship is perfect without disagreements...it's all how you handle it...communication baby!

Do you believe in online romances? Whatever floats your boat...it's hard to get to know someone over the net so be careful with that...but I know several people that it's worked out for

Ever made a date online with someone you'd never met? Lol, yeah

What do you think of long distance relationships? I think they are hard, but I think that a couple can make it work.

Do you believe in divorce? nope

FINAL QUESTION


What is love? Love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, it does not boast, it isn't proud, it's not rude, it is not self seeking, it's not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, it doesn't delight in evil but rejoices with truth, it protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres. -1 Corinthians 13

Insomnia

Now it's 5am and I am still unable to get to sleep. This sucks. I've been looking up insomnia online and I think I have it. Some of the possible causes are stress, medications (I should look at the side effects of my antibiotics), and illness...um, yeah. Ever since I got really sick last week, my sleeping pattern has been thrown off. I'm so sick of laying in bed trying to sleep and not being able to!!! So, I'm taking a friend's advice and staying up all night tonight and all day tomorrow so hopefully I'll be exhausted tomorrow night and will fall asleep easier and earlier! So, now what to do...maybe I'll go pop in a movie. Wish me luck!


Profile

Well, it's official, I have too much time on my hands...I updated my profile so check it out!  =-)


Biblical ponderings at 3am

So I was sitting here with my Bible *side note: this poor Bible is literally falling apart but I can't bear to put it away and use my other one* anyway, where was I...yes, I was sitting here with my Bible wondering what to read tonight and I decided that I'm going to read through the New Testament. I love so many of the books...I've read most of it at random times in the past, but I want to go through it so I don't miss anything. I won't always blog about it in public because I figure a lot of it will be personal, but tonight I felt like pondering in public. I just read the 1st chapter of Matthew that begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ. Some of the names I've heard of, but others I hadn't...however, in vs. seventeen it made an interesting note..."there were 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 from David to the exile to Babylon, and 14 from the exile to Jesus Christ. Now is there a significance to that? I could go on tangents about it...like, there are 3 main parts (Abraham-David, David-exile, exile-Jesus) and 3 makes me think of the Trinity. But I could just be reaching. But really, if anyone knows if there is a significance there, I'd love to hear it. Next I read about the birth of Jesus and how Mary became pregnant during the betrothal period...now back then, women who became pregnant before marriage were considered to be an adulteress...so I wonder how Mary felt. I wonder if people talked, or if everyone knew and believed that the baby was conceived by the Holy Spirit. I've been pondering why Mary, what was so special about her...and in these ponderings I've concluded that Mary must have been amazing. I'm sure that she had a beautiful spirit and Godly character to be chosen by God to give birth to His Son. So in my mind, people who knew Mary, would know her character and know that the child was of God, not a product of adultery. But that's just my thoughts at 3:30am. Time for bed. Night everyone!
