Well, it is 701 am. I have been at work for a half hour... it is about time for another quick update!
This weekend I went to Pittsburgh with two other teachers from work... we had a really good time! On Sunday night I got to meet up with Chris Arg. and go to Primanti Bros... we had the worst waitress EVER. She was totally braindead and we ended up staying there for about 2 hours because of it. You should never have a 2 hour dinner at a sandwhich place. Afterwards, Chris came back to our hotel and we hung out and talked and watched Legally Blonde... good movie!
On Monday, we went to the Carnegie Science Center, which is MUCH cooler than the Franklin Institute. It was a lot of fun and i got a metal slinky!!! I also got to meet up with Maria Weimer (formerly known as Borda) and eat lunch.
It was SUCH a blessing to meet up with Maria. There is just something different about talking to someone who understands your faith. I feel the same way talking to Steph or to anyone from camp... it is just different. There is more connection there... it was just really really good to talk and catch up. I think we have not talked for maybe 3 or 4 years. I have her screenname, so if you want it, im me.
She updated me on all of the people from Crusade in college.... literally, all of them are married. And they have been married for awhile!!! It is just so crazy.... Almost everyone I know is married or on their way. If you click the link on Lauren's blog, you can read about BABIES. AHHH.
It is somewhat difficult to hear that nearly everyone I know or ever knew is married... it feels a bit lonely and hopeless.... but I am not worried too much and I know things will eventually work out for me. I am confident that I will get married and have kids some day, maybe it will just take awhile. Even if I do not get married, I definitely want to have kids.... being a single mom is not preferable, I guess, but if I were adopting, its probably better for the kids to have one parent over no parents.
Anyway, seeing Maria was awesome and she is interesting in getting in touch with all of you, so let me know if you would like her screen name.
Tuesday was bible study... it is going pretty good, we are just getting into chapter 1 of Hebrews... we have many weeks ahead of us, so we will see where it goes. I am still wondering if maybe I should have joined the inductive bible study on 1 Peter at Calvary.... shrug. too late now! It is nice this way though bc I get to hang out with Ethan's mom and see him when I go over there.
Yesterday I drove over to LMHS and took pictures of AH for Josh. It was fun, and I think the cd covers are going to turn out really well. I have to go again on Monday to take pictures of the Angels.
Tonight I am going into Philly with Jon and Nick to see a play, I think.
Tomorrow is GIRLS NIGHT.... 7:30pm at Carrabas with the ladies. Always a good time. :)
Hopefully I will be working on Sat, but I somewhat doubt that I was put on the schedule. They tend to neglect me these days... but I have to go over to the hospital to pick up my paycheck today, so I will bust some heads if i am not on the schedule.
Sunday is church... and its supposed to be a worship team sunday, but I have not heard anything from Amy. Who knows!
That is about it for now...

I felt unstuck from time and the universe for many years. I watched from afar as friends and associates moved on with their lives, started careers, got married.
You aren't alone in your situation. Beyond the horizon of your universe, there are many of us who feel alone. The clock stopped for me in 1999. In 2006 the second hands move now but the minutes are still frozen.
I wonder if it's a shame I only meet 1.5 of your requirements. You seem like such a nice person.
I always have hope in the promise that there are good things in store for me. I just try to remember that life IS happening, even if I do not feel like it is. Whether I sit at home alone or go make something of myself, it is my life, it is moving along, and I have the choice to make it awesome or to revel in the past and rue the present. I prefer to make of it what I can. :) You sound so sad, it makes me sad. hugs.
You and Maria are like me and Mark.
hugs.
