Yup, I'm back

So, I'm back in Iowa now.  Colorado was enjoyable.  I really like the people out there. 

Here's the thing, though.  For the most part, I think the people are the only thing that would pull me out there.  The campus...no offense, I find the Iowa State campus more attractive.  And I went to the Rock and to church out there.  I thoroughly enjoyed being there.  But it was highly comparable to the Rock and the church in Ames. And ya know what, you can't even look at the mountains out there without looking like an idiot.  If I lived out there, I could only steal quick, secret glances while walking in that direction.  So all in all, if I need to go to grad school, I figure, I might as well not uproot myself too dramatically, and just jump right in to what God is doing in Ames.

But that is in the case that I go to grad school anyway.  Who knows what God wants with my life.  But if I end up moving to Colorado, I now feel safe in stating that it will be because God has called me there, and not because I am being selfish and following my own desires.

On a side note, I read some Proverbs today.

Proverbs 17:20
The crooked heart will not prosper; the twisted tongue tumbles into trouble.

Well, if that proverb itself isn't setting me up for failure.  Anyone else catching the irony I'm finding in that proverb?

C O L O R A D O

So, tomorrow I head off to Colorado for for the rest of the week.

I'm supposed to be looking into grad school there.

I haven't had the motivation to get ahold of anyone there about talking with them regarding this topic

I'm not really excited about grad school anymore.

I'm not sure I'm going to go.

God has a plan, I can't screw it up, as long as I'm seeking him and listening for his voice.

I Need Him

My prayer tonight

Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in my sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus, Jesus

P.S. No more Comic Sans, I promise.

I Didn't Kill Him

Sweet, comic sans is now a choice for my font.  This is my favorite font.  It might not work for my blog..we'll see.

Anyway, tonight, I went to a Murder Mystery Party.  It was so much fun and excitement.  For real.  It was based on the story of Wyatt Earp and the rest of that group, from the movie Tombstone.  I have never seen this movie, and don't know a whole lot about that whole genre of entertainment.  But I'm sort of wanting to watch the movie now.  Which works out alright, cuz I bought it at Stuff, Etc. yesterday for $4.  Anyway, I didn't do it, it was Box. I spent the night acting like a crazy, drunken dance hall girl.  I don't do this often.  And by often, I mean ever.  It was pretty fun.  I even won a round of poker, but not because I'm any good, I promise.  I honestly had no idea what I was doing.

Wow, that was a beautifully useless post, but you can't say I never blog anymore.

*Starry Eyes*

Oh, friends.  I am so in love.  For real.  I know at times ya'll think my "love" for the city of Chicago is just my way of communicating that I enjoy the city.  But I really do think I am discovering what it truly feels like to be in love.  But maybe a little different, since it's a city.

Okay, so really it is just my way of communicating that I enjoy the city, you guys know me better than I know myself.

Anyway, a few months ago, my three roommates and I all planned a nice, house-bonding trip to Chicago for the weekend.  As that weekend approached, one-by-one, they each dropped out, until I was the only one left standing.  And stand I did.  I went.  I figured, I cleared my whole weekend to spend time with my favorite city, no question, we're hanging out.  It was such an amazing trip.  I rode the train downtown, walked around, read my Bible by Lake Michigan, rode on a bus (for the first time in Chicago), watched the Bears game with Dahveed (translated: David) and his parents, and then ate at Gino's East.  Yum.  I just thoroughly enjoy being in that city.  I don't even have to do anything extremely amazing.  I could even go visit the Museum of Science and Industry (for the 4th time in my life), and I think I would enjoy myself.  As long as I have a chance to sit by the lake, walk in the city, and ride on a train. 

I better stop, I'm beginning to plan my wedding with Chicago...
