Facebook and Other Thoughts

For the two people who read this blog, I just felt like writing today, HA! Seriously, though, we are now blocked from Facebook at work, in case you ever wonder why that's not updated more often. I'm on the computer more at work than I am at home, so that's when I used to visit all of my usual websites. Work has been a challenge lately, to put it mildly. I don't normally say anything about work on here, as anyone who googled me could find this, so I won't say much. All I will say is I could use prayers on getting through work right now. I am thankful to have a job, and I love what I do, but the situation, especially lately, is not at all ideal. Of course, work by definition (in the dictionary of Amanda), is never fun, so I should probably just deal with it, right?=) Maybe I'm just very VERY ready for our trip to Europe, which is less than two weeks away! Woo hoo!

Just got back from taking a break with a friend.......got to vent a lot, so I won't do it on here as much as I had intended. It's been tough finding time to spend with friends lately, just because most of them are in a different place in their lives, it can be hard to relate to each other, and just hard to find time to even talk. It makes me laugh just thinking about when I was in high school and thought that my life was so complicated and that it couldn't possibly get any worse. How naive I was! How naive we all are at that age! Of course, it is hard at the time, high school is a different kind of hard, but at least you and everyone you know are in the same stage and you can get through everything together. Now with everyone being all over the place (different locations, different life stages, different beliefs, different priorities), it's hard to recapture the closeness of those high school friendships. Yes, you still have difficult things to get through, but you have less people to get through them with. Wow, please disregard the grammatical errors of this post, I'm just writing like I would talk out loud, HA! Anyway, not to be a downer today, just being contemplative. There have been a lot of things to celebrate in my friends' lives lately, new babies, new houses, stuff like that, so that has been really exciting! Good things and bad things, just a part of life, right?=) I know God knows what He's doing, so I just need to learn to lean on him more than I have lately. He's the only one who will keep me sane and keep me grounded. Well until next time! It will probably be after Europe, and I'll probably have way too many pictures to post on here, but I'll share a few!
