Weekend recap.

It's Monday morning, and I feel like my weekend didn't exist.  I hate that feeling!  It comes from having an extremely busy weekend, and even though it was a great weekend, it was just very busy.

Friday night after I got off work I headed to Columbia.  I love going to Columbia - I seriously feel like it's a vacation everytime we go.  I love the town, the atmosphere, and being with my parents.  It's a 2 hour drive, which I dread, and it started the same way it always does.  Me taking my phone out of my purse, placing it on my lap and hoping that someone, anyone, will call me and talk to me for 2 hours to make the time fly by faster.  I tried calling my sister, my best friend from college, and neither of them answered.  Okay, now what?  I started texting a few random people, but after those "conversations" died down, I was bored.  I put in one of my New Life CD's and started singing along with my favorite worship leader ever (Ross Parsley), and then it hit me.  Why do I always have to be doing something?  I turned the music off, shut my phone off, and sat in silence.  To be honest, it was awkward at first.  It was weird.  So, I started praying outloud.  I went on and on and on about everything in my life that is going on, cried, sobbed, laughed, screamed... I probably looked like a whack-job to anyone passing me.  But it was the most rewarding and fulfilling 1.5 hours I've had in a long time.  You see, even though God already knew the millions of emotions I am feeling in my heart and mind, He still desires and wants me to talk to him about them anyways.  He knows why my heart feels broken, why I go from feeling discouraged to feeling ecstatic in a matter of moments... He knows it all.  But He also desires and craves times where we just talk to him.  I arrived in Columbia and felt refreshed.  It was absolutely amazing.

Saturday we woke up at 6am to start the garage sale.  This wasn't your typical garage sale, it was NUTS.  The subdivision Mom & Dad live in was completely packed out, they estimate that 10,000 people go in/out of that subdivision on garage sale day.  It was nuts.  It was totally worth it though, because Tyler and I made $220!  I expected to make around $100, so that was a nice surprise.

Sunday we had church, I went to the gym, and then we spent our afternoon at Home Goods, Pier 1, and Home Depot.  We are getting sooooo excited to be in our house, it was fun going around to different stores and talking about what we want to do with the house.  OUR house.  Our very own house.  :)  We are so excited.  If you have any paint color ideas, feel free to throw them at me.  I think I finally figured out the kitchen/dining room colors, so now I'm stuck on the living room and basement.

Sorry to ramble on and on about nothing... blogging is such an "outlet" for me, I truly enjoy writing and I hope I don't bore you to death.  Thanks to all my faithful readers.  You are loved!
