Gosh there is so much i want to do with my life! 

ATTENTION! WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! TAKE CAUTION!

i have taken up running {gasp!} yes! im so excited to get into shape. i may look fit but please believe me friends i am not at all. its embarrassing actually how out of shape i am. my heart races and beats so hard after walking up two flights of stairs to my apartment. what also helps is that my husband was a really good runner in high school so he knows so much about it. i guess you could say hes my coach. but ive been doing good {its only been 2 days though} but if you know me then you are shocked! i ran 1 mile in 15 min. yesterday and i ran 1 mile in 12 minutes today!!! my legs are screaming at me but they'll get used to it. i will give a shout out to Audrey Flagg. she is somewhat of an inspiration as well. i would love some tips/encouragement from other runners or daily work-outers! this is something that i want to commit to for as long as the Lord wills it.

secondly...

i really want to take up sewing/knitting. keenan says to me the other night "you need a hobby babe" and i said "id love to start learning to sew but i need a sewing machine" so- anyone selling a GOOD sewing machine?? i have NO idea where to start with looking for a good one. i need classes and everything so please if you know about any of that let me know! id love to start learning.

well keenan applied for a position through Fidelity in Lousiville. so we might move. he applied for the position last week and got a response back saying that he needs to be in his current position for a year before he takes a new position with them. BUT if he gets manager and director approval then they might consider him so we are praying for those approvals. honestly, i have been praying about this and im feeling that we are supposed to move? i make that a question because i really dont know whats going on but it makes sense for us because we are phasing out of YL and dont have kids yet and looking for a house and im back to working full time. this is the first time in our marriage that we have had to make a HUGE decision and as exciting as it is...its scary too. we dont want to make the wrong decision that is why it is so important to be listening to the Spirit and ignore our flesh. wow! thats hard! on one hand we could move to louisville and on the other hand we are looking for a house here just in case keenan doesnt get the position.....its a load. it really is so confusing. im trying to be patient with Him {Jesus} but this is a challenge for me. both options are exciting...i just want to know NOW. i guess you could call this a "prayer request" which i dont like that word..i think its cheesy. ill come up with a different way of asking for prayer. but anyways..

i am asking for your prayers...for clarity, patience, and wisdom in this big decision making moment.

the crazy thing is God knows what is going to happen. He is taking care of keenan and me. i know He is. i can feel Him and in that i rejoice and praise the good and most gracious loving God of the universe. Amen.

ps- did i mention keenan and i might audition for the amazing race?
