so bekah and matt are (finally) engaged, and i couldn't be more excited :)

tracy and i were driving around on saturday just squealing with excitement! i know we're silly, but come on. how could you not be excited?! i can't wait. they've picked june 6, and i know that it will be here before we all know it. woohoo - dress shopping! haha, but seriously, i can't wait for all the crazy planning and everything else. and of course, to see two of my best friends get married :)

currently listening to: coldplay...shocker, right?

work.

so, i'm sitting in my office right now, and i would just like to take a few minutes to let everyone know how much i love what i do. i work as the public relations (and marketing) director for Premier Firewood, Inc. brian kase is my boss, and honestly, i couldn't ask for a better one. i love working for someone who knows me. everyday brings some new challenge, and i like to think of it as a new adventure. this is definitely one of my favorite adventures so far :) i imagined this post being longer, but all i really want to say is how much i love my job and how much i believe in our dream.

currently listening to: X&Y...one of the best albums ever.

new week :)

i feel like everyone always dreads mondays, but i really don't. maybe it's because i work for one of my best friends, but i like to think of it as a chance to begin a new week. to start fresh. i know that sounds lame, but mondays aren't really that bad :) i'm excited to start this week. i feel like every week brings some crazy new adventure, and although i can get a little crazy (probably because i tend to want to control things...), i love that it's never boring. it's the best job i could ask for, and i wouldn't trade it for anything :)

currently watching: enchanted. love it :)

our heart.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (ESV)

i love these verses, and i feel like a lot of people forget about the third part of this passage, which i think is one of the most important. it's so easy - we just have to seek with all our heart, and we'll find him. isn't that great? there's just one thing we have to do, not a list of 20 requirements. just one: our heart.

currently listening to: itunes on shuffle...right now, it's john mayer :)

finally.

november 4th is here, and by tonight, we will know our country's choice for the next President of the United States. i hope this doesn't turn into something similar to the 2000 election. i never want to hear the phrase "to close to call" again. i also never want to see another political ad on television. in my opinion, those ads don't really sway intelligent or informed voters. that being said, there are a lot of ignorant voters out there, so i guess that's who they're really targeting anyway. there is some talk that neither saxby chambliss nor jim martin will get enough votes to win, and there will be a run off between them, which makes me want to cry. those are the commercials that i hate the most. i saw one yesterday for the first time that had saxby's mom on it, and oh my, they are from the sooooooooouuuuuuuuuth. that was my attempt to make south more than a one-syllable word. i'm just relieved that this presidential election is coming to an end.

currently listening to: the holiday soundtrack. it's so good.
