oh march - better late than never

hello there...
since my last post my new ride is still great, and the old one is getting towed today. i had my 24th birthday on March 2nd! it's strange to have birthdays away from home. but ej took me to dinner and gave me some great presents...one being my very first frisbee! it's light blue with some sparkles in it...i've named it blueberry... and im now thouroughly enjoying it in the spring weather. i can't believe im 24, that sounds so old to me. i also went home to ohio, and ej's cousin nicole...who is amazing...threw me my very 1st bridal shower for his side of the family! it was really great, all these welcoming soon-2-be family members showering me with love and gifts...just for being in love and getting hitched! it is quite a sweet deal. although i've been to so many of these things, and i really couldn't believe this one was for me. i can't believe i am the bride2be...it's unreal! I also got to spend time with my family- so good.

work is work...it's going alright, listening to people who have alcohol and drug addiction for 40 hrs a week can be draining sometime, but im thankful for the provision of a job. i do day dream though of figuring out how one can support themselves and work part time and still have insurance...maybe own my own coffee shop? a life long dream...
eric and i have really kicked in full gear trying to get wedding stuff done, thank goodness my mom and aunt are doing most of it...but we're having fun trying to make it how we want it.
we are really trying to figure out what our next step will be-where we'll move, work, live, church, we just pray God will show us the way. oh Matthew 6-don't worry!

I'll be running my first 5k next Saturday! I'm super excited about it! My acl isn't fully recovered yet, but what better way to heal than to have a goal in mind, right? I admit, it still hurts a lot and I hope it goes away by the end of the year. I'm trying to get into running though, because ej loves it so much, because it's good for me...its a great way to get outside!

I finished up my volleyball season with work...we only won 2 games the entire season...sad i know...but it was really fun. and i finally learned to serve well.

easter was great- we watched the passion on friday night - wow, how powerful. i still...cannot believe how much Jesus gave up for us, it's really good for the soul to see it acted out like that.
it reminds me of how much more growth i need spiritually...to be selfless in such a way.
on saturday we went running and watched lots of basketball- i was sad west va lost...i thought they were gonna win me the mula...and sunday ej and i went to church, then out to eat at a 50's diner near by, where i ate really good/but bad for you food. that was about it... and now i welcome April with open arms...
