More news

Being married agrees with  me. I do occasionally go stir crazy though because I don't get out much during the week. I went to the bookstore today which was nice. I'm trying to get back into reading  but haven't been to interested in actually picking a book up. I was doing my cardio-dance  video for exercise.

I have started a new story because the other two I was writing came to a stand still because I just couldn't figure out where to go from where I was. I started a new story of my own but haven't written very much on it recently.  The story I was writing with my friend came to a halt as well, we both couldn't get motivated to tell the story anymore. We were going  to see if we can maybe come up with a new story idea that we are jazzed about.

I've been keeping the apartment clean or at least cleaning it weekly. Laundry annoys me it never fully gets done and it seems to take so long to finish it. I hate the washer and dryer we have  since it is so small and now it takes so long to dry clothes. I'm still trying to get motivated to do cooking but I just don't seem to really want to cook even though I was looking forward to that the most.

I finally had a successful Thirty-One party in Oregon. I also have someone interested in joining but waiting until June to do so. I'm trying to get a few more parties booked out here before I leave next month. I wish I could remember the name of the lady whose facebook status I commented on because she was interested in joining Thirty-One and is in my town. I want to meet with her and chat about Thirty-One and get her signed up.

I need to get more stuff packed for the move. I haven't done that since last week. Though Monday before I cleaned I spoke with a guy from the mayflower moving company. I felt so bad and kept apologizing because the apartment was so messy. After he left and I cleaned I had to rearrange a few of the boxes of book and repack them.  I have been looking  for places for us to live when we get back making calls to gather more information.

I have been continuing to help with the youth group. A week or two ago I taught a devotional to the group and I lead a group with a a few other leaders. Yesterday I had a different group then I normally have. Though I have made a connect with a few of the girls, neither of them were there. In fact one of them has decided to stop attending youth group... I wish she wouldn't but I can't make her stay.

It's been difficult to miss family activities and holidays. I miss everyone back Illinois. I do keep in contact but sometimes it seems like I just zone out or become unfocused during text or phone conversations.
