Watched the last bit of an incredible Wimbledon match... It's going on 9 hours and 58 minutes! and Isner and Mahut are still tied. Match is called for the night. How will they be able to get up and play tomorrow? They broke all kinds of records. The queen is actually coming tomorrow to watch.

So proud of J, she's come a long way this week. Today we actually left neighborhood roads and she drove on Parmer, almost to Georgetown. She handled stoplights for the first time, and went 60 mph! Just a wee bit scary considering I'm not sure how she would have reacted had she needed to stop suddenly at that speed. A lesson for another day... with Dad :-)

Just found out Heather will be back Friday. So we're going out Friday night. Yay! 2 is always better than 1. Especially on weeks like this..

So Josh is leaving for England on Friday. The kids will be at XL fest Friday and Saturday. My best friends? Not a single one of them will be in town. I will be alone. :-( Why is it a big deal?
It will be the one year 'anniversary'.

waiting for my iphone software update to download...
So tonight I overheard Josh telling our friend the story of last year. Every time I hear it now it seems more and more surreal, like the further away it gets, the less real it seems. I didn't think I would survive this long, nor our marriage. I really lost all sanity last summer. I was on the brink of a major mental breakdown. I don't even remember alot of it, just a blur of counseling, suicidal thoughts, drugs, and being alone. I don't ever want to be there again. It was the worst few months of my entire life. My families' too. It is a true miracle of God that I am living and breathing today and I'm not on drugs, not alone, and am able to start over. My 'one year' is almost up, so I am about to be allowed back into serving at Celebration again. Not sure what I will do since missions isn't an option at the moment. Maybe go back to guest services or media, but I don't know, maybe something completely different..
I can't remember what else I was gonna say earlier, but if it comes to me later, I'll be sure and tell you.
This phone update is going to take hours, it looks like, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight

Weekend - Thailand boutique sale, fathers day shopping, lunches, dinners, movies, (A-Team!)(was awesome),
 Michael came over, swimming, and some other stuff  I can't recall, or don't want to, tonight our old friend James is coming over, haven't seen him in years, recently moved back. Josh is likely going on an emergency business trip tomorrow to England to save a client. Debated going with him, but it's just too pricey last minute. Plus it's in the middle of nowhere and he's gonna be super busy. I hate it when he's gone, I can't sleep here alone. I have to go shower, these mosquito bites are making me crazy, more later..

Sorry, was too busy to post yesterday. Went to the luncheon, for some reason unbeknownst to me, just felt I should go. Met a nice new lady that may turn out to be a friend, we shall see. But the message on the importance of real friendship really was upsetting. It's still a very fresh wound I suppose. Some of you so called friends are just plain hurtful. You say we are friends when asked, but you sure don't behave that way. Do you have any idea what I go through just to come say hello to you? It requires swallowing my pride and risking great injury. Time after time I do it. Do you ever? When was the last time you came to me?? Or invited me somewhere? This year has been humiliating for me, yet some of you people are continuing to make it worse. Either be my friend, or don't. A girl with a broken heart can only take so much.
My old bff, whom Josh has banned from my life, texted me after hearing the same message last night, and he was a bit ticked at me that she even knew my new number, not to mention that she was texting me. She obviously felt the same way after the message that I did.The whole thing is just depressing so lets move on..
Had a workout with my trainer, then had another dinner party for our favorite young men (aka, my girls adopted big brothers) then we all watched game 7. Boo Lakers.
I never heard back from the company that sounded interested, and they took the ad down, so I guess they hired someone. There are sooo many people looking for a job these days. I wish I could put my resume in video form, so I could talk to them and they could see my personality, as opposed to just ink on a page.
Back on the hunt..

Spent the morning downtown doing a paid focus group thing. Then had
lunch with Josh at Chuys. And even bettter?? I got a followup email on
a job today!!! It's not an interview yet, but at least they're
interested in me! It's an executive assistant position, and only about
10 hours a week, flexible hours. Maybe this is the one..

I'm sad and lonely. Hannah is at internship, Jordan's at the pool with friends. I wanna go to the pool with friends... but don't have any (without a job or little ones.). Josh is at work. Grocery shopping is done. Bills are done. I could clean, but who wants to do that..
I NEED A JOB!!!!!! I could be paying off our huge bills right now if I were working... Why is it so difficult to find one????
Submitted Jordan's application for dual credit classes at ACC. Right after I really thought I was going to vomit. Not sure why, but part of me knew it was an end of an era, and the beginning of a new one. I guess it just hit me. As if driving, SAT prep and college visits weren't enough. I just don't feel old enough for this yet. I still feel like a college kid playing house.
Ordered some boxing/catcher mitts for Josh so I can box more frequently than I see my trainer. Love it. Love that he agreed to it :-)
We can't leave town until August when the internship and youth conference is over. Thinking about going to northern California. Road tripping. See the Grand Canyon on the way..
I'm so used to my iphone capitalizing and punctuating for me, that when I type on my desktop keyboard I have to keep backspacing to fix my errors. And funny enough when you hit the space bar twice, it just does 2 spaces! Instead of a period! I am spoiled. I have to have the iphone 4! The camera features rock. And switching between apps?! Yes.
Last night we played Risk for the first time as a family. Yikes. We are all too competitive for that game. It got out of control, especially once we wiped Josh off the board completely. Since the game never seems to end, after 3 hours, we conceded that Hannah got first and I got second. Cause she was definitely king of the world.
Hey, I just wasted 5 minutes! Now only 6 more hours until Josh gets home from work and practice :-(
Then we watch the Celtics (hopefully) win the Championship. Then no more basketball until next year. YAY!!

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

"you be the prince, and I'll be the princess.".

Yes. I am 100% girl. It has its share of downsides, and my poor little heart ,that is displayed for the whole world to see, has been broken more times than I can count, but still...I love being a woman.

Singin my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song'

'you took your suitcase, I took the blame'

I bought my hat 1.5 years ago in South Africa when they were building the stadiums. Watched the first game this morning. Not exciting. Tie game. I like number 4 and 9 on the Mexico team :-)

I am so tired, I feel like I've been drugged. These last few weeks have been crazy. Since when did summer become busier than the school year? Haven't even gone to the pool yet!
Back to the job hunt..
