I Love My Computer

I know, I know, my title is funny. But, seeing as this is my first time back on my computer for over 6 weeks, I think I need to appreciate my computer. My power cord went out on my laptop and when I finally got around to taking it into Best Buy, it had already been a couple of weeks. I had to order the part (they didn't have it at the store) and they told me that they would mail me a label to send the old one back, which could take up to 1 week. They then told me that it would take another 3 weeks to process it once they got the old part back. Well, three weeks have passed and no mailing label. My cousin's husband decided to have a go at it and he fixed it! Hooray and thank you, Christian!


Things have changed a lot for me.

My job has improved greatly and I am enjoying it now.

My cousin and roommate got married and I am living on my own.

I am going to be in a Bible Study starting next week.

I've had the chance to go to the mountains several times this summer. I took a ton of pictures! I will have to post a few of my favorites later on.

I had to get all new tires on my car, which cost a pretty penny (actually pretty dollars).

I have a new puff quilt for my bedroom that my mom made for me (THANKS MARMEE!). It came with pillow shams, curtains, and a new cover for my vanity chair. It is very beautiful. I hope to paint my room to match my new bedroom accessories.

My garden has been beautiful this year and I have enjoyed it immensely. I am becoming very drawn to gardening, although I am still very much a novice. I am looking forward to the new things I can plant next year. My herbs did so well and I have enough dried basil and oregano to last me a couple of years.

My friend from college, Sara, came out to visit me for a couple of days. It was great getting to see her.

I think those are the main highlights that I can talk about right now. I know I will have more things to share as things develop.



One of the things I am doing now is reading a book called Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul. It has a guided journal that I am also doing. So far, it is interesting, but I haven't gotten very far. The journal takes some time to complete, so I am not reading the next chapter until I finish the corresponding section in the journal. I will post any interesting things I learn.

It's good to be back.
