I am mobile again!

Just wanted to let you know I now have a cell phone again. Hooray! I don't have anyone's # on it though, so if you'd like to talk, please call me! (609) 289-6205.

Yahoo! HotJobs.....

 i am in love...with my job and my life.  how cool is this.  it's going to blow you away.  this is where i work.

We are big losers.

Thought you'd like to see us all decked out in our Red Sox garb. We were in MA all last week and we ended out our time in Boston where we took in a game at Fenway. All I had was the camera on my phone, so sorry for the crappy quality. Love you, girls!

God in email!

I voiced some concerns about work to my girls in my connect group and this is one response, i thought it was so beautiful i had to share...


"Hey Babe,God's favor is on you. Remember that he gave you this job. He put you here. He is working. Things are happening. When Betsey de Thierry was here, she talked about how our lives quite often look like the back of a tapestry...all strings and yarn going this way and that and it doesn't look like it makes a whole lot of sense and sometimes it's hard to follow...but then God isn't looking at the back of the tapestry. He's looking at the front. He sees the beautiful masterpiece that he's creating. And every so often, he gives us a glimpse. The trick, though, is trusting God. Trusting that he is making a beautiful tapestry with your life. I know he is. He loves you and desires to give you good gifts."

God is Awesome. and works in mysterious ways, that don't make sense to us, but are perfectly clear to Him...He sees the complete picture...not just there here and now.

Post-Op appointment

Justin and I had our appointment with the doctor today (on our anniversary- what a joy) to tell us about the pregnancy. He told us that is was a "genetic defect that was incongruent with life." Half of all miscarriages are because of genetics and our chances go down for a healthy pregnancy each time we have one. He gave us the option of getting genetic testing done to see if Justin and I are prone to producing a baby that would have these abnormalities. If that was the case, we would look into having a donor sperm or egg.

I'm just not ready to do that quite yet. I'm sure it would be really expensive, plus I just don't want to know if it was anyone's fault. Maybe if it happens again, I'd look into it. He said we had to wait 2 periods before we try again. I'm not going to. I'm impatient and want to leave it in God's timing. It's probably not the wisest thing to do, but at this point I really don't care.

He also told us it was a baby girl.

I'm disheartened.

BURGLARIZED!!

it's offical...I live in NYC!! Jessie and I went home during lunch today and we were met at our front door by two NYPD cops.

The two apartments above us where broken into by a man with a crobar! for you all who haven't seen my apt. doors.....they are rock solid and when we went upstairs they were literally bent inwards!!

apparently he took jewelry and credit cards. The detectives talked to us, took my name and number NYC NYPD style ( i so felt i was on an episode of Law and Order!)

so, needless to say I am renting Home Alone 1&2 and doing my homework! (3 is totally out of the question!)

Some Good Verses

Hey girls! Just thought I'd share some verses that i found encouraging today.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
"Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toisome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him- for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work- this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart."

I love that last part.
Just wanted to share :o)

Done and Done

Today, I finished all of my grading and cleaned my classroom. I am done with school.

OK - technically I still have to go to proctor exams, but I have no more work to do!

Everyone rejoice.
