look at the math problem in the subject title. It drives some people nuts not to have that last number in there. Math problems have solutions. Stories have conclusions. Symphonies have endings. Our lives are not always like that. Just beyond our view is uncertainty. Some fear it. Some guess at it. Some try to steer one way or the other, but ultimately God is the only one who knows what lies in that uncertainty.

the last couple of days have been a splendid pleasure. in fact, i would venture to say today ranks number one for the year. yes, better then the day i got ink-ed-did.
today was a simple yet jam-packed, fun day. one that followed a perfect night. so we'll start there.
yesterday i worked the early shift, got off, hung out at the whitesides and then went home to change and head out to meet Justin. Justin sets out for bootcamp monday and will be gone for the next 6 wks, then he is off to school for airforce training.
our outing=the perfect date
it wasn't a date but man, if it had been it would have been a good one. dinner at ale house (free- compliments of some card his mum gave to him), free round of putt putt (again, free, he had passes) and then a movie. there was great conversation, story sharing, talk about the church; just an all around, good feeling, nice goodbye. he said he will write me, i can't wait.
TODAY: (get ready)
start- 5.45 am.
wake up to the monsters. head out to UCF for speech final. meet up with matt only to find out that the exam doesnt start until 11:30. we go for breakfast and then off to run errands ( drop off kids, pick up laundry, go by bank... you know the basics ) had a killer time rocking out in the car and just having some good old fun. [matt, youre my favorite. i'm gonna miss you over the summer]
took final, parted from matthew to talk with nestor for a bit. it was nice.
went to stats final, forgot my calculator. no biggy. afterwards, i had the pleasure of dining with the lovely Celina. We went to Moe's (my 3rd trip there ever) and it was mighty tasty. I decided that she and I must do this at least once every other week over the summer. And even though we are both very busy people, this should still work out.
came home (finally), took a nap, went to the church for movie ministry night. it was a good time, however i was ready for 10-15 kids and only 2 showed up. but man, they are definitely my favorite two.
FINALE: REAL Radio 8th Year Anniversary Monsters Show at Hard Rock. Scotty picked up tickets earlier this week and boy was I excited. I have been anticipating this shows for weeks. I was so ready to rock! It was probably the best show I have ever been to. I'm going to write them a letter and probably call in monday. wish me luck.
left universal to stop by some hotel shindig the boys were throwing. hah, I had never been to such a thing so I figured we'd stop by. it was mega lame, so Scotty and I left to get some din din.
what an amazing night.
oh and Eric called. that was nice. Every day should be this jam-packed with good ol' friend fun.

i started working out this week. i guess my favorite part is the fact that my arms are so sore. makes me feel ... awesome. no but seriously, right now i'm just working towards getting back into shape, then the REAL workout begins. like heavy weight lifting and junk. cause, my new calling in life is to become a body builder. i just want to be all that i can be.
to anyone who may have a softball game tomorrow, good luck. sorry your biggest fan is unable to make it, however she is there in spirit, always... and forever.
p.s. megan i love you.

To totally believe in God is to totally understand there's nothing we can do to see that missing number. The trick is to approach this with trust. With God that uncertainty should spark amazing anticipation. Not having the conclusion in advance can be a good thing. It's like getting on a roller coaster for the first time. The excitement is half the fun.
p.p.s. i am officially a published artist.
what a day. what a day.
