Is a big day.  Well in the morning.  Then the tomorrow after that isn't.

Praying that this goes well.  That is all I ask for.

Confidence and the right words to say at the right time.

I am presented with opportunities... I shy away from them.  It means putting myself out there, taking a chance.  I like the feeling of safety.

I am making step toward changing some things, I put myself out there.  So we shall see what happens.  If anything I have gained a few things, I am glad that I did it, I have been meaning to do this for a few years and right now seems as good a time as any.

Yes, I am being cryptic.  Its for a reason.  Perhaps in a bit I can elaborate.

Doing a lot of freelance stuff lately and liking it.

Should go to bed.

Strike One for Olive Garden in York.  We were a large party and expected to wait so when they said 40-50 min. we were Ok with that.  An hour and a half later we were finally seated.  We got there at 12:30 and they seated us at 2.  I was starving, I kind of felt bad too because we were celebrating Matt's birthday and by the time we were all sitting down to eat we were all a little grouchy.

However, once we were seated we had two waitresses, they did an excellent job.  They really husseled and made sure that whatever we needed we had, refills and yes, the extra cheese.  Good Job!

I am happy, this morning dad and I moved my grill over here.  Now when I want to grill I just have to get the grill out of the shed. This makes me super happy, I also bought a few groceries from BJs. I found a few things that I can get there that will save me $.  That made me happy too.

Ok time for bed, I had design stuff that I really need to get to its starting to pile up.  That is the way it always goes, a lull then I get hit with stuff again.  I am glad to stay busy now I just need to make the time.

Tomorrow I need to buckle down!

But I just got the net back up and running at my new place on Fri.  I feel like I am almost all moved in... the first bills are due so its feeling like home ownership.

I will take photos sometime in the near future so that you my dedicated reading audience can see what it looks like... but not today.  I am just a bit tired.  I slept for about 4 hours yesterday... I know that most of the time that is average for me... but I am pooped. I had to attend a meeting on Monday morning, OK I guess I didn't have to attend but I wanted to.  I was helping pick out paint colors, floor tiles, counter tops and carpet samples for the Family Life Center at the church.  I was on board with almost all the decisions... I was fighting for the green color that was suggested for behind the coffee bar but I lost that battle.  The brown shade will look nice I just think that the green would have make the beautiful wood stain stand out a bit more.  Kind of fun to do.  I observed for a bit while the interior designer was talking and suggesting things... then I had to open my mouth.  It was a little funny when she told me I had a good eye for color. I guess its a good thing seeing as most of my job involves colors, textures and making things work together... I made a comment about the different textures flowing from one space to another... we have some organic textures very much feeling like they are coming from nature with carpet to tile then the carpet that was suggested for the other end of the area... just seemed very "office building."  I made the comment about that and loosing the texture... I don't think that she was expecting that.  They are having another meeting in Feb... I think I might crash that one as well... they are talking about lighting and a few other things.  I feel like this is something that I am no expert in but I do know what looks good... I looked at the arctechtial drawings for the head on views of a lot of these areas... so I can see where the architect was going with the look and style, which I might add will be great when completed.  It is time that we start updating and building and making Church feel like a comfortable place for people to come and spend time in worship and fellowship.  No more cold tile floors and walks.  I am excited to see it done, within the year.

Then last night I had another meeting... about where we are going as a "Young Adult" ministry.  I am excited to see where this goes. Its going to be a lot of work but at least we are talking about it and there is leadership that wants to help us out... however that might be.  Its been a struggle to actually figure out the best way to do a lot of things.  Its going to be a slow process.

Tonight I am heading into work early.  That is my plan anyway... which means that I need to get to sleep.

All that is left are the little details... home inspections and all that fun stuff.

I am very ready to be out and on my own... and have walls. For those of you that know me personally know that I have been living for almost two years in the basement with no walls between me and the rest of the world.  I am ready for walls.

I need sleep.
