Baptism.

I gave my life to Christ in the ninth grade. Four years later the summer before leaving home for university I was baptized  It was something I had put off for years, knowing it was what God wanted for me, but too afraid to make the public declaration of my faith. It hit me that summer however, that if I was not able to stand up inform of my church family and say that I loved God that I would never stand a chance standing up for what I believe in at university. So I took the plunge (literally) and was baptized.

Date Night. {Terri Clark}

Last Wednesday the husband and I went on a wonderful date night. For Valentines day he had gotten me tickets to the Terri Clark concert in town playing at the Capital Theater. It was wonderful.

Date Night. (I wish I remembered my real camera)

The Capital Theater in town is one of those places that makes everything wonderful. It is a restored historic theater in downtown. The place is beautiful to look at and is so small that there is not a bad seat in the house. I have seen a few things there such as Romeo and Juliet ballet and a high school production of The Phantom of the Opera.

Bloglovin.

So I hear that Google Reader is going to no longer exist come July 1st of this year. Before I heard the news of this I had never actually heard of Google Reader. I am reletively new at the whole blogging thing and I actually do not know if what I am using is classified under Google Reader. I just add blogs on my Blogger home page and they are updated there. So is that Google Reader? Who knows.

What I do know is that I do not want to lose my current blog list. I have fallen in love with some of the blogs I read on continuous basis and I would honestly be upset if I lost them. Therefore I signed up for what I have continuously been hearing about 'Bloglovin'. I still have no idea what it is, or how it works or anything. But I am trying it out. So head over there and follow my blog I guess. If you want. That would be kind of cool.

I Want Passion. {Envious of TV characters}

Okay, so as of late I have been struggling with being envious of the most random of people. Mainly fictional characters which really does not make a whole lot of sense. Especially because it is not in the normal ways. Like their life is so glamorous  they have so much money and everything comes easy to them. No in the way that these people seem to have dreams and goals and passion. I do not remember the last time I was passionate and truly loved to do something that I could then in turn make a career out of it or at least fall on my face trying.

Dawson from Dawson's Creek for one. He knew from age 11 that all he wanted to do in life was make movie. Yes he at times questioned it, and was not always the best, but he knew what he wanted to do. Granted I am only on like season 3 so I don't know if he eventually gives up on it and decides to do something else, but at least he has a goal. Or Jenny from Gossip Girl for example. She has a passion for fashion and does everything she can to make it happen (yes I did just say 'Passion for Fashion' and loved every minute of it).

I am jealous and I want that passion. I want there to be something that I love, absolutely love to do and to be able to make that a career. I like nature and the environment, but so far I have not been successful in making that a career. I am also not sure if my love and passion for that is actually love and passion or I just figured I had summer jobs in it, I liked that the work was different every day and therefore I figured 'lets do this'.

So because of my lack of drive or passion, I am now making it my goal to figure out what the heck I am supposed to do. I am going to try and become more passionate about something significant, not just taking my tv watching very seriously. Any suggestions on how to make that at all possible are greatly accepted.

A Thank You Goes a Long Way.

Maybe it is just me and my fear of not being accepted or upsetting people, but I believe that a thank you goes a long ways. I believe thank you cards are essential in a number of situations and one should always be thanked for even the littlest of things. I am not saying that if someone holds the door open for you that you need to send them a hand written thank you note. No, those can be kept for special occasions such as showers and weddings, but the words 'thank you' are often more than enough.
