Time is Not Just Money

And another two weeks disappears in the craziness of life!

Had a surprise birthday party for Andrew on saturday. :) His mom and Michael, came down at about two, and we went out to run errands with them, then my parents (conveniently) arrived at a little before 5:30, so we had to hurry back to Atascadero from SLO. I was going a little crazy with how long it was taking him to get out of the car and head up to our apt, but when he finally did, the house screamed happy birthday! :) It was wonderful to see how surprised and happy he was. :) Everyone brought food to share and it was a wonderful evening. :) He felt very loved.

I finished Chrissy's quilt the friday before. It was really big, and she loved it! :) So now I am working on Brett's quilt. :) But then my sewing machine started making loud noises yesterday. I'm going to a if I can get it fixed tomorrow.

This past weekend was great, though it ended rather mopy. Sat night I admitted to Andrew that I'm burnt out on working with Jenny. It is a rewarding and growing job, but it is also very challenging. She tries my patience and I have found myself more and more just trying to kill time during my shifts. She deserves better than that! Burn out. And then Sunday night Andrew got into a funk as well because there is just so much waiting right now for his business and he still doesn't have any prospects for people to work with him. He is frustrated and its trying to be more organized because he has so much going that sometimes he gets home and can't even remember what he accomplished that day, which its very disheartening. So we're just trying to figure out a balance or something. We are trying to get back into reading the bible and praying daily. That will help the most! :)

Andrew is going to Rob's bachelor part next weekend. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with myself. So weird. And this past sunday I had a meeting before church, and then I had some time before Andrew arrived, and I just kinda stood there, not sure what to do with myself! And Andrew is also going to be out of town the first weekend of October as well, and I just don't know what to do! should I pick up some shifts at work? Offer to babysit sometimes kid? Sigh. Use to love free weekends. But relying on always being around Andrew for the past two years had near crippled me now that he'll be gone! I'll have to work on that.

I think thats it for now. No news on that new job. No letter from Mateus.

I _am_ beginning to dream more and more about staying in SLO. SLO might be my Santa Barbara (my parents lived in SB
when they were first married and always dream of moving back). I hope we can stay, but only Good knows or future, and it is better than I can even begin to dream, so I guess I'll leave that to Him.
