Time is on my side. Or is it?

I have lots of time on my side. Maybe that's the problem. In a society and a lifetime of only having small chunks of time to do things, I don't know how to manage all this time. I have so much time I don't want to do anything. I have become LAZY. Yes, lazy. I have had a year of basically doing what I would like with my time (if it is free). I would like to think if we had money I would have done more with my time, like learn something at a school in a classroom somewhere. But the reality is I have too much time on my hands to actually plan something. I know how that sounds. But this is how I feel! :)

I didn't realize how withdrawn and depressed/lonely/wandering around in a pit, I had become. That I am still in. Will finding a job fix this? NO. Will it help get me out of the house and become social and tear down some fears...Yes. The truest thing is working on my relationship with God. Nothing else matters. I keep thinking I can dig and climb out of this pit. But really I can't. Even with the finest tools. Only asking God to pull me out with get me unstuck. I need to find where I became so afraid and closed off to the world. Why I became so afraid of death, sickness and dying. Why does that grip me so tight? I know the truth and I know the life. I just need to start being honest with myself and God, and well this is my blog and I can make sense or no sense at all. That is the beauty of blogging!

On a lighter note...I made avocado ice cream....a really easy thing to do! I'm excited to try it and see how it turns out...I will let you know!

Tuesday.

I love Tuesday's. I meet with some ladies at a bible study. I am the junior by almost 30 years. I love it. As much as I would like to meet people my age, I love being the youngster. I get to soak in so much wisdom. These ladies have become so dear to me. They are my new family. They give me perspective on my own life. I am so thankful for Tuesday mornings.

Working time.

Job. What a weird word to me. I haven't worked since Sept 2009. I got married, and then moved to Canada. I couldn't work. I was house bound. Which at times I loved, and other times I didn't like as much. I love being able to make Wes breakfast, lunch and dinner. I even love doing his laundry. :) Dishes on the other hand...I don't love so much. Hee hee I know I have been working around the house. I have been my own boss to a certain degree. Now I am looking for a paying job. This is the first time in my life that I don't have major pressure to find a really good job really quick. I have time to look and be a little picky. I also am ready to just WORK and make some extra income!! Today I have a job interview. It would be at a Flower Nursery. Could be fun. It's just down the road from our house. I hate the thought of driving over 30 mins each way for work. I know lots of people do it...I just don't want to! Wish me luck! I will keep you all posted!

Christmas Cards

I know the title of this blog may seem out of date. But I was overseas for the Christmas season, and my cards didn't make it out. They took a different trip, to the dump. I was thinking about the title of my Blog. So I thought I should share a little about being a newlywed. :)

I spent a day writing out our Christmas cards. We bought some at Costco( I know, sounds a little cheesy). But these were so fun! So I was excited to fill them out and send them to friends and family. I didn't know where I had put my address book, so I left most of them blank. I was headed out of town on the 21st of Nov for 2 months. I left the Christmas Card sending out to my Husband. I asked Wes if he would send them out. He pretty much said "NO". I'm sure he said it in his round about way...but I knew they would be waiting for me when I got home. I was okay with that. Late mail is still better than NO MAIL! At least that was my thinking. After I got back, Wes and I were out to dinner with his Dad. I was talking about sending out the cards late. Wes looked at me and said "Ooohh, I threw those away!"...ha ha I probably looked like I had just been punched in the gut. He said they were in his way and they were old now. Ha ha we have such different thinking when it comes to the small stuff. :) Guess I learned my lesson and do the Christmas cards in a timely fashion. So thank you if you sent one. Sorry you didn't get one in return! They are residing at the local dump!

OOOOOO Alaina!

I have a friend. Her name is Alaina. She is really cool! She has a blog too...but she writes even less than me. Maybe this will inspire her to get writing. She is so creative and funny! The world needs to hear her voice! She is so giving, just don't get in the way of her french fry! :) I love you my dear friend. We have almost been friends for 20 years! Wow! Where has time gone. Good luck and God Bless you today and always.

***Please note in this picture we haven't been drinking or doing drugs. This is just us! :)

Time slips away so fast!!

Yes I am back! Back to the land of cold. ha ha not that it is even that cold where we live. But I am COLD. Mainly my feet. Socks, shoes, slippers...nothing seems to keep them warm!

I just wanted to say a quick hello! Thanks for reading if you are... :) I will write more later. Just want to say had a really good trip. I love my sister and her family. Its so hard being so FAR away. Guess that is part of the adventure.

Hope you are well.
Love Kate

Packing time!

I can do this. I can pack lighter! I am very guilty of over packing! I mean WAY over packing. We were raised with a motto of -better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.This runs deep in my being! I am getting ready for a 2 month trip down under. I am determined to pack and then take away all the extras! Most of the time I pack so many clothes and don't really wear any of them. I stick to whatever is functional and comfortable! Especially when you go to the beach lots. But I might just need those 13 t-shirts and 8 pairs of shoes! Wes is amazing at packing. I don't know how he does it. Maybe I should ask him to pack my bag! ;)
