Summer in Santa Fe ?!???

I have my first big girl interview tomorrow. Well it's on the phone, but it's the real deal. I applied for an internship in Santa Fe, NM with the Santa Fe Opera and I got an interview!!! No...not singing. It is a Special Event Internship doing gala's for donors, cast parties, making invitations, communicating with guests...things like that. Special event planning is something I am thinking about going into and trying to sing on the side. This is the opera house! :)
I really do love to sing, but I think the lifestyle is not one that I want to be in forever. Anyways, so this is totally exciting for me, and I am just praying for a good interview tomorrow, and that they will fall in love with me and give me the internship tomorrow! HAH. Not really, that's a little selfish. But I am hoping whatever the Lord wants to come out of this, happens. There is a huge downside to this...that it is another 3 months until I get to be with Aaron. :( My dad is probably rolling his eyes right now with disgust :). Anyhow, but I really feel like this would be a great opportunity for me!! So pray for the Lord's will and a good interview tomorrow!!

Love is in the Air

Happy Late Valentine's Day!


I hope everyone had a great weekend with their loved ones. I was in San Antonio with Aaron for a huge music conference all weekend and it was great. Aside from having the flu, which absolutely was awful, I had a great time. We relaxed, listened to a bunch of concerts, and ate lots of Mexican food. :) If you don't know this, queso is one of my all time loves. Aaron asked me where I wanted to eat on Valentine's day and I said, I don't care, I just want queso and a margarita. So, my wish was his command. ;) Not really, but he did get me queso and a margarita. I kinda felt like a smuck of a girlfriend because I had a gift all lined up in my head that I was making, and I ended up leaving early to go see him, and I got really sick. So, his gift is still half finished in my house. I love giving gifts, and I really wanted to make him feel special, and when the day came around I had nothing. I know. Lame. I felt especially lame when I woke up and there was this really sweet card sitting on my suitcase. Anyways, good news is, I still plan to finish the gift and give him a late Valentine's. The other good news is, I know he knows that I love him even though I didn't have a material gift to give him. ;)

Hope everyone is well, much love!

Facebook Fast

Facebook and I are on a break.


BTW...I do not understand this picture at all, but I like Napoleon Dynamite and it said facebook. ha.

This started the other day when my boyfriend brought up the fact that I am addicted to facebook. Unfortunately, no matter how much I want to disagree, it's the truth. I get great satisfaction finding out what is going on in other people's lives even if I haven't seen them in five years. Honestly, I probably get on facebook like twenty different times a day. I am a loser.

So, we made a bet to see if I could give up facebook for a whole week. I started on Wednesday night, and I am ending next Wednesday night. I am not gonna lie, this is a struggle, and I might have had a tiny withdrawl this morning....:/.

I tried to change my mindset from thinking it was a bet, to a fast. Fasting can be an amazing thing. To take something time from something that consumes a lot of my energy, and transfer that time to things that are more productive. I've chosen to take my facebook time, and have a devotion in the meantime. Plus, God knows that I will need his strength this week....hah.

My roommate was thinking about giving up facebook for lent...let's just say she is a better woman that I am, I am sticking with a week. :)

Date Married Women. What?!?!?!?

You will never believe what I saw this morning!!!! It blew my mind so much I figured it was blog worthy.

I was surfing the internet and low and behold there was an advertisement offering this....

DATE MARRIED WOMEN.
Married men and women looking to have an affair!
www.flingdate.com/dating

Who looks to have an affair?? I didn't try the site and really didn't want to. But can you believe this?!? It kinda makes me queezy. Anyways, I really don't know what to say about it. I'm not married so experience isn't something that I have...but I know that marriage is still something God holds dear to Him and wants you to experience marriage and experience it abundantly. Abundantly as in fully, spiritually, to it's greatest goodness...not abundantly with twenty different women.
