I'm terrible....

.... at this whole blogging thing. Yes, an utter failure. Sorry peeps! I've been SOO SOOO busy, though. I moved again! Wooo HOO!! Let's here it for move #6 in two years... Yes, I think that should be rather close to a record. Okay, maybe not, but it's still a lot of moving. So, as I'm sure you've already gathered, I'm sick and tired of packing and unpacking. Well, this time, I've signed a 1 year lease, so, Lord willing, I will remain put for 12 consecutive months. But, then again, that could get boring real quick, and off again I may go...

I have much I'd like to share with all of you, because I've learned so much in the last few weeks. Mostly about contentment and joy. Real joy. It seems that I've hit a few more bumps in the ever bumpy road, and I've lately found myself down and discouraged. BUT - God is faithful! He has brought me perfect verses in my times of hurting and loneliness. (no surprise there I'm sure)

Psalms 6:4 "Turn O Lord and deliver me; save me because of You UNFAILING LOVE.'

Psalm 13

1 How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.


Well, I just wanted to share these fabulous passages with you, in hopes that they might bring you joy and comfort like they did me. Hopefully all of you are not in need of these verses, and are feeling jolly and loved every second of every day. But if the need arises.... here they are.

Well, life, outside of what I've already shared, is normal. Still working, still going to school, still eating, breathing AND sleeping. Basically all the same stuff as before. :)

Sorry, I have no kids, and no pets, so no great pictures or funny stories from me. Perhaps next time, though, so stay tuned...

Soo...

It's been awhile since I blogged, so I figured I better get to it...

I guess you could say that alot has been going on in my life lately, so here I am to try and update you a little.

It's summer! Well, not officially, but, its that time of year. Well, instead of relaxing and enjoying my adulthood version of summer (which is really no different than any other time of the year, except - hotter), I decided to take a couple of summer classes at school. So, me, being the genius that I am, signed up for not only one, but TWO 4 unit summer classes! Now mind you, summer classes are highly condensed, and I am taking TWO of the hardest, most extensive classes, simultaneously crammed into an 8-week period of time. Now, why I did this, I have not the slightest clue! I must have been feeling ambitious that day... So, needless to say, that has kept me quite busy over the last week and a half. But only 6 and a half weeks to go!

On a more joyous note, I would like to congratulate my multitude of friends that have recently helped in repopulating the earth! :)

Congratulations to Kathleen and Heath on the arrival of London!!
Congratulations to Heather and Brandon on the arrival of Dallas!!
Congratulations to Anna and Joe on the arrival of Eliana!!
Congratulations to Rachel and Chad on the arrival of Ethan!!

So many cute babies floating around, these days! I am looking forward to meeting all of them!! And to all of you who are expecting... Your time will come! :)

Also, in turn, my age has been catching up to me lately, and is lurking around every corner, to remind me that I am no longer a spring chicken... On my mom's side of the family, I am the oldest of 5 granddaughters. Well, my youngest cousin graduated from high school this month, fully reminding me that it has been an entire 5 years since I was there... graduating high school... WOW!! I just can't believe it... So much has changed in 5 years. Some good, and some bad. It just goes to show that you never know what you will become, or where your life will take you. But, lucky for me, I know that God has a hand in every circumstance in my life, so I am feeling safe and very well taken care of :) Now, hopefully, I don't end up being the first of 5 granddaughters to graduate high school, and the last to graduate college! LoL

At this time I would like to make a shout out to....


THE LAKERS, BABY!!!!! We are the CHAMPS!!! WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!



Just had to get that out of my system :)


Well, I'm sure there is so much more going on in my life, than I have had time to share with you. But, I must get hoppin' and get some work and homework done... But if I can be of any assistance to you, in filling in the gaps of my life, then feel free to let me know...

TTFN.... Ta Ta For Now!!

The weekend...

...was great! So, I'm back again to share with you all... Well, those of you who care... hehe...

So, Friday I was feeling a little ♪♫ "down in the dumps" ♪♫ So, I decided that, "if the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack", and I spontaneously went to a Salon, and re-vamped my 'look'... I'm not exactly sure what put me 'down in the dumps', but I was there, and I now have new hair because of it. I am quite happy with it, and will try to post some pics... But if I can't figure out how, then check it out on my Facebook :)

Then, along came Saturday... One of my most favoritest days of the week! And low and behold, it was a cloudy, gloomy day in June... Who would have thought? Not I... So, instead of being out in the gorgeous sunshine, I spent it mostly indoors. BUT, it was still fabulous, because I spent it with my best friend, G... a.k.a. Gibert :) He even fixed my taillight on Stella (my car), because apparently it was burned out, after only owning her for 3 and a half months. And, I watched a funny movie with his dad and sister, while he slaved outside for me. What would I do without good people in my life...? I shudder to even think about it...

So, to conclude my lazy weekend, we end at Sunday. The day of rest. And restful it was! I woke up late for church, which was a major bummer, but instead of rushing, I opted to listen to the service on the radio and clean my house. Now, while I normally do not do that, I have to admit that it was a nice little break. I still got fed, but also got to accomplish much around the house at the same time. But, I did miss the fellowship, so next Sunday it will be back to church for me :) Then, I finished off the day by just hanging out and watching funny movies with G, his sister Alyssa, and G's friend, Andrew.

As you can see, my weekend was not eventful, but it was wonderful, nevertheless...

Now, to start my week, AND the month of June! Oh man! Where has 2009 gone?!? If someone figures it out, will you let me know?!? Thanks, guys! Well, thats it for now.... Ta - ta!

Beth - OUT

Hola!

Ok, so this is my first official Blog! Woo hoo!! I don't even know where to start, so I'll just start by saying 'hello'! I have much to fill everyone in on, but it will take time... So for now, I'll just leave you by saying.... 'You stay classy, San Diego' :)
