| What a day!!
A crazy ice storm, a trip cancelled, music cut for my ballet, a sick husband and a sick wife, and two major awards.
Oh my. | | |
| it feels darn good to get out there and apply for jobs.
we're gonna make it, i know we are! | | |
| I'm drinking a smoothie that isn't so smooth. Can I call it a "chunk-ie"??
Regardless, I've found that it is much easier to drink my fruit when I am sick than to eat it. It works with vegetables, too, in juice form. However, my carrot spinach celery red pepper juice might make Steven even sicker than I am.

| So I haven't posted in months, and I was thinking about never posting again. But this evening was so mindblowing that I have to share it.
My dad has a gift for making me cry. Ever since I came to college, and every moment we had together started meaning more, he's been more intentional than ever about showing his love to me. He just loves his jobilina ballerina so much! So tonight after Dance 33 he found a moment to talk to me...he said something like this...
"When I was watching you tonight, on the stage, with perfect form, I thought of you when you first started dancing, and I thought, You did it. You became a real dancer. I know you're just feeling like your starting a journey, but you're also finishing one. How old were you when you started dancing? You've been on this journey for 16 years and you're finally finishing it."
And now I'm crying again. On the one hand, everything is a mystery right now. Life is crazy, I don't know how I'm going to finish my ballet or stay sane through the rest of this semester. But on the other hand, life is so good. And even if I am uncertain of how and where I will be dancing after graduation, I know now more than ever that I have to dance. However cliche it sounds, I was born to dance.
I can't see where I'm going. I can only see until May and then life becomes a big question mark. But I once heard someone say that if God showed us the whole plan at once, we would get scared and run away from it. I can step out with boldness into April and May, and hopefully by then God will have revealed a little more, even if it is just one day at a time.
Lord help my life be glorifying to you. Help me see, with clear eyes, what it means to serve you with my vocation. | | |
| steven, on his brand new toy, is video chatting with noah right
now. it's really weirding me out!!! it's gonna take some getting used
to but it will come in handy later on i suppose.
i've gotten into the habit of sending in those "free trial issue"
offers for magazines, and then cancelling them right away, just for the
free magazine. i just got this note from martha stewart living:
Dear Mrs. Rodriguez,
We are sorry to recieve your request to cancel your
MARTHA STEWART LIVING subscription. Losing one of
our valued customers is never a Good Thing.
I think they took the "Good Thing" thing a little too far. But I did get a good laugh out of it.
