Happy St Patrick's day

Yes the date of this post says 3/16/08- however by the time you read this it will indeed be 3/17.
So Happy St Patrick's Day from me- an Irish Lass, complete with an irish gaelic name- Tara. I love this day. It gives me reason to celebrate not only and Irish Holiday in one week but the start of Spring later in the week- HOORAY!

Tonight we got together with the young adults in our church and it was alot of fun. We are going to try to get together every 3rd Sunday. I can't wait. It's nice to finally get to know the people in the church our age. Most of which Joe has known for a long time since he grew up in that church. Me I'm a transplant so I don't know alot of them. I'm glad we are finally trying to get something off the ground.

I'm considering a career change- I just don't know what. If you have any ideas let me know. I need something that is going to pay more, has good benefits (which I do have presently- I just want to continue to have good benefits) and something that I could really do well in. I'm going to pray for direction, if you could pray for me too if you think about it.

I feel like God is redirecting Joe and I's life/lives. I feel so much freer. There are so many more possiblities now that we have weeded somethings out. We've taken a look at our finances and decided where we need to readjust, I'm thinking about doing something different and I feel so much better about life. Thank you Jesus.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Good Night, TK

SPRING WHERE ARE YOU???

I can't wait for spring to get here. I love to wear my flip flops capris and short sleeve shirts. I'm so tired of wearing my fake Uggs, sweaters and bundling up to go outside. I actually really like the new colors and styles- they are kind of growing on me. Except the bright yellow- that will never be one I will where- it doesn't go with my skin tone. Although there was an Old Navy polo or was it GAP? Any how it was more of a buttercup yellow- I loved it. But I lost weight and had to ditch it.

I can't wait to be able to wear shorts to the gym. Tonight after my post-gym shower I put on some natural glow lotion and I love how it looks already. I need that every spring! I can't wait to go shopping for some new dresses (all I own are the classic black- strapless with bright embroidery, black classy looking, and a dressy black one I almost never wear). We have 3 weddings this summer so I have to get some summer dresses if it kills me!

Oh and check out what we just got for Free!!!

I love it!!! It's a little too big for our apt (in my opinion) but we aren't going to be here real long anyways. So when we have a house it will be perfect! My co-workers daughter wanted to get rid of it and was offering it for free. So of course I jumped on that chance!

No longer a Mirage

Thursday night we finally decided on going to a local realty's First Time Home Buyers seminar. It really opened our eyes to the possiblity of having a house sooner than we thought. However we are still holding off and not jumping into it quickly. We still decided that we will continue on with our short term goal of paying off all the little debt as fast as we can and saving too. We can do it I know we can. With God's help it is possible. I lean on His promise everyday. I think that's what gets me through and makes me not so jealous of what others have right now. What I know that alot of newlywed friends don't have is a baby. That I can hold off on as long as I have already decided but I do want a puppy.

I love puppies and dogs. I love my Hayley girl but alas she lives at my parents and brother's house. I love to visit her often. I can't wait to present her with her niece dog someday. Hopefully within the next yr Lord willing. She would have so much fun and and they would together too. I will be naming her Bayley. Ha how cute! I have the name just not the dog!

So I can rest easier now knowing that my wish for the future is not a long long long way off. It will be here when it is meant to be. And when we are prepared for it. WOOHOO!
