I Could Die of Pure Joy

I am graduated...I have just finished my last exam and am ready to face the world as a certified massage therapist. The relief hasn't set in yet...probably in a couple of days. Your prayers did not go unanswered, I thank you a million times over for them. Now if I can just get my job, I'll be one happy camper.

A Sigh of Relief

Well, one test down and three more to go! I am so glad tonight's test is over...it was one of the ones I was most worried about. Seriously. But God pulled through and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. But I still need all your prayers for the last three. I only have five days to pull it off. Anyhoo, I love you all and have a fantabulous evening. I know I will.

Lucky Number Sleven

Okay guys, so I totally went and saw 'Lucky Number Sleven' lastnight and it was awesome. I had been hearing rave reviews but I'm always cautious about gangster movies. Anyways, not only does it have an all-star cast (Josh Hartnett, Ben Kingsly, Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis and Lucy Liu), but it's writing is insane. It's funny and witty and the plot twists and turns. It's a definate must-seeee.

Things Are Going My Way

Do you ever have one of those days where everything falls into place? Those days are so miraculous. I decided to have my locks changed yesterday because I had the feeling that someone had been in my apartment while I was away and I got a call lastnight from my landlord telling me that he'd have them personally changed today. Then, I lost contact with my mom and sister yesterday and couldn't get ahold of them. I even drove an hour to there house in the middle of the night to see if they had come home and they were gone. I checked the hospitals for accidents. Everything. Then, this morning, before I had a chance to really lose it, Mom called me....They were partying it up in Montana and they're bringing me something back. About half an hour later, the phone rang and it was an interview call for an administrative/managerial/massage position. It sounds so promising! I might have a job by the time I get out of school! And, speaking of school, I'm almost done! I graduate next Saturday!

So, thank God for great days....He smiles down on us and sometimes in big ways. It's been an absolutely blessed day.

It's Over

Okay guys, so the Pilate challenge is over. It ended two days ago. I'm not sure what to say about it. I'm definately alot stronger...but I'm not sure if appearance-wise it made any difference. The thing is though a two week challenge is basically useless considering you won't see results until a little later so, the work out continues. I feel good though except for having the fourth cold this year. That's one every month! My immune system has to buck up! Anyways, happy health!

Good Days Come Often

The world makes me smile....especially today.
Today, I had one of my old clients from the clinic come into my house for a massage and she brought me a present. This totally cool mirror for my room that was made for her and she wants it to be passed along to me.
It's round with a sun painted in the middle and blue star-type shapes along the outside. Toatally Allison. It's just one of those great, smiling days. And it's raining and that's always exciting.
