Busy October

I think October ranks as one of the busiest months of the year, so far. I don't remember other October's being quite so busy, other than with school and work. Work is still going great. My buddy had his first test on Monday and did fabulous, so I'm assuming, since he seemed to know all the answers. The weather has definitely cooled down, much to my chagrin. I miss those hot, sweaty days. :( But, the sun has been out and the work on the school has been going great!

Last week I made some yummy cupcakes! I got the idea out of What's New Cupcake? It's an awesome cupcake book.



Saw these sweet looking cars at school. Sorry for the poor quality. My cell isn't the greatest.

That's all for now. But, stay tuned for more fabulously interesting posts about my life. Ok, just kidding. But I will likely be posting again soon. Hope you're all enjoying your fall!

October

Where has time gone? Can you believe it's October already? I can't believe how quickly the past year has gone. And September has gone by in a flash. I hardly know what happened and it's already October. October is looking to be a very busy month! I do like being busy without school though, it's such a blessing not to have to be worried about studying and doing homework every waking moment!

Last week was a beautiful week! I went to my first Mariner's game in a couple of years. Sadly, my beloved team is terrible, and has hardly won any games. They lost 8-2, but it was fun being there. My camera is still missing, so I only got a couple of photos on my cell phone. But, fun was had by all. Some entertaining fans kept us laughing the entire time, along with the antics of some of our group.





I hope you have a very blessed fall and lovely October!

Fall

I'm officially embracing fall on my blog now. My title doesn't always seem to fit, but I chose it because I love the sun and I try really hard to stay on the positive. It's not always possible, of course, but I do try. After Summer and Spring, Fall is my next favorite season. I love the beautiful colors and the warm, cozy drinks, sweaters, activities, etc. that come with the season. I hate to see Summer go, especially when we never get much of one here, but rather than hoping for it to come back, I decided it was time to embrace it and enjoy it, because all too soon, it will be winter and dark and dreary. :( Today was in the 70's, and is still in the 70's outside, despite the fact that it is raining. Even the breeze was warm. I think we're having what's called a Pineapple Express. The major problem I have with Fall around here is that is usually rains like crazy and is windy. I hate wind. But, it does make pretty pictures with leaves. :) So, welcome Fall!



I heard this great quote of Bro. Branham's that has become one of my favorites. It helps me, especially on those cloudy days:

"The sun is always shining. The only thing that keeps it from shining on you is clouds. If you get rid of the clouds, the sun will be shining." - If God Be With Us, Then Where Is All the Miracles?

September Update

Although most of my very few readers are already aware of most events in my life, for you others, I bring you an update! Yes, you are welcome. :)

Well, just about 2 weeks ago, I was not exactly sure what to do with myself for this quarter, or even this year, not going to school at the moment. I'm still on the waiting list and we'll see what happens next year. So, I was talking with a friend about figuring out my life and jokingly told her, "I'm off to figure out my life." I got to my car and got a phone call about a job offer. It was completely unexpected and has been an answer to prayer. A friend of mine from high school has a brother with a disability. He's very smart and is taking classes at WWU, my former school, and needed an aide for his classes. It's a dream schedule, everything has worked out quite well so far, and I am still able to keep my job at the library and volunteer at the church school and camp, and I get weekends off! For now, it's a great job! I am very thankful that God always provides just in time. :)

Well, that's my big news. Nothing much else new. My younger cousin, who's in 11th grade, is starting Running Start tomorrow! Very weird! She's excited about it.

Oh, my dad is going to be able to have surgery pretty close to here, rather than going half-way across the country. They think it'll be a successful surgery. Please keep him in prayer!

Nothing else I can think of. I still haven't gotten my camera or USB drive back. Please keep those in prayer, especially my USB drive. I need it! Thank you all, you very few readers and even fewer commenters. :) May the rest of your September be very blessed!
