Another week. Three months in.

Before I get started I should give Mike credit for introducing me to Graham Colton, it's good stuff.

Wow. What a Friday. My gym break down was great this week considering I'm getting back into shape. I don't start playing soccer again for a monthish so I should be in some sort of shape by then. Anyway I'm doing 4 half mile intervals. I started at about 6 minutes a piece and after 4 days this week they average out to about 5:15..not really where I want to be but eh..it'll be better. I'm just stoked because I'm almost back into my regular clothes which was almost priority over getting in shape.

(I'm number 4-in other words...short)

Thought of the moment, "If I wake up and my clothes are covered in dog hair, I am not going to be happy." Maybe that was just a forwarning note to myself. Yea..I'll explain that deal some other time. So I had my meeting last night. I invited 6 groups and my boss invited 2 others. All my groups showed one of her's didn't and I've locked in 4! Honestly that's like batting what...I don't know, good enough to be in the starting line up at least for the week. We exceed a goal this week which is great news and I can say I was part of that. WOO HOO!

Tonight was fun. (I'm not good at segways.) Shopped which I really didn't have the money too but they were those free New York & Co. dollars so whatever I got some colorful stuff so I don't look so drab at work every other day. After shopping I hung out with some of the youth group at my church. They are wonnnnderful I wouldn't change anything about who I am surrounding myself with these days.

Tomorrow's going to be another long day but hopefully we'll get some good leads for work out of it. Don't really have plans for tomorrow night which I know something will come up..it always does here which is nice but I don't really care. Sunday will be full and hopefully I'll keep busy and make it. Sunday is the anniversary of a very tough thing that happened to me last year, but it also marks the three month anniversary of something very special to me. Eh..2009 is shaping up to be pretty good so the past..no one really cares about.

Boli's from Franks good. Pizza from Franks..not so good.

To be or not to be..I'll be in bed.

Listening to Graham Colton contimplating life

Don't give up on me is a verse in the song currently flowing through my speakers. I think that is what I'm trying to remind myself. Don't give up. This week has been topsy turvy (see photo haha) to say the least. I don't know what happened to my motivation but I notice it lacking a little here and there. I hate that.

I want to always be on the top of my game and maybe I can attribute some of my uneasyness to not praying as much as I should be. It starts in the morning..I wake up at 5:12 and I loooove love love the gym and working out. Having a gym membership is pretty much my luxury item right now while I'm just interning, I can't really afford much more...eventually. That part of my day is always the best..many people would beg to differ but the gym is my own personal time kind of like this blog..but today I slept in and inturn my day wasn't the best. I just ended up thinking too far into everything and we all know that's never a good thing.

Other then the annoying feelings I put myself through I had a very successful meeting this evening and this afternoon. I think tomorrow will be a lot better but it's all about attitude so I could essentially talk myself right into a bad day..isn't that a shame? It really is the whole mind over matter thing or whatever they say anyyyyway. Another thing I have noticed is that I'm not the new kid anymore...maybe that's why I like to move so much. I like the rookie feeling..it's kinda like whenever you do something good you hear positive feedback and stuff and now it's becoming rutine-like the stuff I do is expected. At least the rookie has moved into the "bullpen" now I'm just a free agent in October. Oh baseball! haha

Deep breaths into another day and I'll be fine. I just need to keep working on my mental capabilities and understand I am within myself. Orrrrr what I should do is turn it over to God, and let my burdens be gone! Sounds like a better idea! Time for prayer and bed.

Peace, Love, and Uncle Sam want you.

Ode to the Blog Master

So in all honesty I never thought I would get involved with this whole blogging thing but I think it's a great idea. I attribute starting this blog to someone I met here in PA. I was facebooking and stumbled upon a blog page of a church friend and I've been reading it pretty regularly and here I am now...

I guess I'm going to try and start doing this because I really enjoy writing and I think it will be a good way for my friends from home and college to keep up with me since everyone's schedules are always so busy. So I guess I could start blog numero uno...

So I moved out to PA almost a month ago which doesn't really seem like that long ago but in that short time period so many great things have happened.

Work Life--I started at the baseball team here, in the Group Events Department. They provided me with a lot of responsibility and I really like it. Right now I'm working on a brand new program for 2009 and I am excited for my first informational meeting tomorrow (maybe even a little nervous.)

Church Life--Mixing work with pleasure..I was designated non-profit groups when I first got to the Revs and that's how I ended up stumbling upon my church(es.) First off I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Codorous. I have met a great group of friends aka the Dusty Disciples. It's so funny how God works. I was praying that I would be in better company with Christian friends when I moved away. He is so AHHHHmazing. Also on Wednesday's I go to York Church of Christ..it's a lot different but it's a good change of pace in the middle of the week and everyone there is great too (I'm pretty excited about Codorous though :).) God has strategically placed other coworkers/friends/roommates in my life that I think I will be able to minister to too. God blesses me with such a great feeling everyday.

Personalish Life--I'm quite the social butterfly as of late..I really enjoy everyone I've met and I've still been getting my Tuesday night wings like back home (miss you girls!) I have a feeling all of us interns at the Revolution this summer are going to make a lot of great memories..I've already got two nicknames: Iceman (Top Gun) and Swaneeee (thanks Linds.) I keep busy. I'll probably be on a soccer team/softball team this summer. It's good having "connections" around when you move. Oh and I've been doing so well working out. I get to the gym at least 5 days a week. I'm dedicated..the alarm rings at 5:12 every morning..which reminds me I should probably get to sleep.

One final note..the Buckeyes beat Penn. State last night in basketball (hence the photo of choice) and Waterway has bad wings :)

Charlie, from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would not give my secrets away and neither will I.
