I have to give a talk a week from Sunday.
I'm not surprised, we gave talks the week we moved in, might as well speak the week we move out.
Except this time it's just me.....further, they didn't call me to ask me to speak, they called Jamaal, and he said that I would. His reasoning being that I wouldn't have said no, which is true, it still doesn't give him permission to volunteer me.
What adds fuel to this fire?
Let me share part of my journal entry from last week:
"Me and Adam had a good discussion s couple nights ago......
As we talked, I realized I have the same problem. I hold a lot of hatred and grudge towards some people........
So me and Adam made a goal to pray everyday for charity.......... This is going to be a hard goal to do. "
So what's my topic?
You guessed it.
"LOVE THY NEIGHBOOR"
Jamaal just laughed and laughed......

Pac-Rat
I have a love-hate relationship with life right now. I love change and that it brings new exciting dimensions and adventures, but I hate not having schedules and time to do everything and always feeling like I'm not doing what I should.
Here's what is going on lately as far as change is concerned:
1. Little Beebit left for his mission yesterday. He's going to Portland....Oregon, where he grew up. Just like Jamaal did in Tennessee. So funny. It'll be a hard road for him, but I'm excited for his adventures. I may or may have not cried after hanging up on the phone with him before he left. That may or may have not been the second time I cried that morning. Don't worry, I'm changing my BC prescription in 2 weeks.....
2. I recieved an un-requested sporadic 4-day weekend starting the day Jamaal came home from scout camp. He'll probably resent me forever for it, but I had to get outa here!! So I tried to plan a camping trip to Glacier since neither of us had been there, but he was tired, and Dee-dee decided to bring her family and the new baby to my parents house....so I couldn't really pass up that opportunity. We still went camping one night in the Bitteroots which was nice, not Glacier, but it'll do for now, we'll have other chances to go there. Also, I love spending time with my family, and that last chance to see Beebit pre-mission. Plus Jamaal caught up on some sleep. We also cooked a pizza over our campfire that night in the woods.....which was aweomse. I'll post pictures when I get home tonight.
3. I'm was finally starting to get in the groove at work, and then my machine broke down for a week. I was shipped out to other sites during that time, and ended up getting over-time during the whole ordeal while they fixed it...and it's still not fixed. So our higher-ups are trying to pull some strings to get us new equipment, but for now I just have to make do.....which means feeling embarrased every day when I have to shut down the machine in the middle of an exam where my patient is already in a lot of pain and not pleased with me. Or having this horrible timer beeper go off when it shouldn't and then not shut off....that one's my favorite. Or hoping evertime a Dr. orders and x-ray that this time will not be the time I will have to go tell that Dr. the machine is down and No pictures for you today! Sorry!! Uggghhh Hopefully this all gets sorted out before the semester starts at the college and we get super busy.
4. Ummm...we're moving in like a week. This is the real love-hate stuff. I love moving into a new place, I love getting rid of stuff we don't need, I love getting new stuff we realize we always needed, I love having more space and extra rooms.....I hate packing, I hate lifting heavy stuff, I hate spending money, I hate moving into a smaller kitchen. I hate changing my address with every organization on the face of the Earth. I hate feeling like I don't belong in our current ward anymore and realizing I won't know anyone in the new ward or town.....but I love that too, new friends are great.
The other thing that is sucky is we finally met with the missionaries of our current ward last night, and I really liked them. One is just a greenie!! It reminded me of all the work I need to be doing, and although we accepted their invitations, it seemed kinda hollow knowing we wouldn't even be working with them in a week...., but it gave me the motivation to do something about it and start working with the misionaries as soon as we move. Maybe I'll get called to be a ward missionary. :) Yay.
Also I'm exited to settle down because I know it'll force me to stop making excuses to work out and eat healthy. I'm really ready to be healthy and fit in my clothes again. for real.
5. I'm cutting my hair. There is only a love-love relationship here. I can't wait any longer!!
Here's a link to my favoritest video about Cheney, the town we're moving too. You will enjoy it. Believe me.
