Oh great, '08!!!

I'm thinking of a great 7's of 2007 list for myself. I've seen these lists all over fellow-blogger's blogs and I feel like jumping on this bandwagon. Unfortunately for you its far too late at night to compose such a list. Perhaps tomorrow.

Coming off of my last post, I gained a lot of great insights from my own scripture reading and feedback from friends on the quote a friend here left with me about being able to live for Christ despite going to hell. I don't know that I honestly could do, though I would strive to. In the end I am thankful God never planned for that to be part of his plan for salvation. And for that, I am eternally grateful. :)

With that said - what's new?

Christmas was great, we had a lovely time with an uncle and one of my moms nurses was able to join us in orange county just hanging out which was great. It's crazy to think that time has already come and gone, but here I am preparing for new years already! Dad left the following day and will be gone in NYC for quite some time. So its just us and mom now. Life will be exciting to say the least. Still no luck on the job hunt, which has been semi-frustrating but alright for now because we have family in for the weekend which has been great. That is one thing I love about being in Cali - family! It's been great to spend time with them again and just laugh! It will be sad once they leave but I'm looking forward to the times ahead while I'm home when I'll see them all again all over California.

For those of you wondering, the rumors are true, Katie and I won't be going back to Boyce this spring. Since dad will be away for so long, we're staying home to take care of mom and save up for future semesters. So, we'll be here at the latest, until this fall and then we'll go back to continue our studies! In the meantime we're looking for full-time or good part-time jobs here and making the most of the time God's given us in a different place we didn't plan on being at for very long. It's been different, but good.

So, my macbook is getting on my nerves. I installed leopard over Christmas and my hard drive was erased. Everything. 80gigs of files and software I can't get back now. Gone. poof. Thank you apple. You made my day. Oh well...after 3 hours of fighting to figure out what was wrong with my computer, I welcome the destruction. It just shows me once again how much I put into material (tho not really material, haha) things. They're all vain in the end. But I did need a lot of that stuff...haha.

Back in the real world, Katie and I are coming back to Boyce to pick up our saturn and DRIVE (yes, I said drive) it back home to cali. That will be a crazy trip to say the least. But we'll be in the Louisville area Friday night, Jan. 18th - so if you're from boyce, keep an eye out! I can't wait to see all you guys and give proper goodbyes, for a time.

Other than that not much else is new. I will try to post more frequent, shorter blurbs now that I have a semi-operating computer again.

Adios
