God's timing IS perfect...
maybe if i keep repeating this to myself 1,000 times a day i'll start believing it.

a good couple of days...
after my self-proclaimed pity parties i've been having i thought i'd write some positive things down. mostly a reminder for MYSELF. i just got back from volunteering at the Idaho Food Bank. the person in charge seems like a great person and i'll have to say that it feels like a great accomplishment when you see the progress made in 2 hours. i am grateful that i have the ability to buy the food i want, the brands i want, and more than enough food. i am grateful to the people who help those who can't afford enough food for their families. i asked how the feeding the 5,000 went and roy said, "great! we got over 11,000 pounds of food and over $12,000." isn't that awesome!! all this to say, it's nice to focus on someone besides myself. especially right now. i'll probably go back sometime just because i can and it's good to help out the community where one can.
i got to catch up with an old friend yesterday. old in the sense that 1)we've been friends for close to 2 DECADES!! and 2) she's older than me (wink wink anjo), though only by 1 yr. and 2 months. we had a great time catching up...laughter, tears, the whole bit. she called me right after i got her b-day package and was going to call her. great minds think alike!! i think it's great that two people can have such a history and value your friendship, andrea, so much. can i just say, too, that i LOVE all my friends. God has blessed me with the absolute greatest friends ever. sometimes i can't believe it and don't even know if i deserve them all!!! God is so good to me. well, it's about time for bed so i can wake up and go to spinning and abs at 5:45. pretty excited!! thank you to all who read my blog and care about me:)

where i've been...
haven't written for awhile, partly because i don't have a lot of access to the internet (i did try to blog and post pics from the farm last week and blogger was malfunctioning...i stopped trying after 3 failed attempts). mostly though, it's because i don't like where i've been and don't want to drag you all down with me. life continues to frustrate me. i don't really understand all that's happening, or not happening for that matter. i do know that i pray A LOT, more than i can ever remember praying before. and nothing. i feel like i'm in a cloud of depression. monday night at the newberry's was the first time in two months that i've felt like myself. the last time was when i went to SLC with susan, steph, and pooh. i don't know what the deal is, but when you think about it, please pray for me:)
i do have to say that i have the BEST husband ever. he's so patient with me and i thank God every day for him. small example: monday morning (before i found out i had a flat and he had to fill up my tire) when we said goodbye he said "i can't wait until you don't have to work anymore and don't have to commute anymore." sometimes the love he shows me seems more than i deserve, more than i could've imagined in a husband. we are both eager to start a new season of life where i'm home more and where there's a little isaak involved:) hopefully it'll happen soon.
