Speaking of...

Right now we're sitting at a chilly 48 with light rain. I myself am sitting in a large, cozy chair with a blanket around me enjoying a nice, quiet evening at home. I have eaten a box and a half of raisins in the past hour. Delicious. I've never liked raisins until recently and they are decidedly a new fave. Great Value All Natural California Raisins. Yummmmm.

Speaking of deliciousness, one of my roommates has a Keurig coffee maker.

I never knew what I thought about them, but I am now a fan. You can use them for a single cup of coffee or you can just use it to heat up water for tea. The little individual cups are kind of expensive, but what a great treat! During the big blizzard it was on all day for us to have hot drinks. The different flavor options are great. My personal favorite is the Wild Mountain Blueberry. Based on my dislike of raspberry and cherry flavored coffees, I thought it would be bad, but it is berry berry amazing. :D So good.

Today I went to eat lunch with my friend Lisa and her baby for lunch. They are packing up to head to California to meet up with her husband who is stationed there in the army. Baby Teia is so cute! We ate at a hole-in-the-wall Chinese place that is super good.

Speaking of cute babies, I thought I was hearing Kevin and Lindsey's son yell my name across the pews at church "Dess! Dess!" -- he's almost 2 -- but then I thought to myself, "Nah, quit being so egocentric." But after a minute I couldn't help myself, so I turned to look and sure enough he was excitedly pointing out to his mom where I was during the final prayer. He couldn't have done something more endearing :)

David has left with his college group for Florida for spring break for the week. Because it's spring break for the Tulsa area, a couple of things I go to during the week are cancelled, so I feel like I've got a nice week coming up.

And speaking of a nice week coming up... It may be in the 40s now, but we're moving into the 70s by the middle of the week. All of the artificial pear trees are in bloom and have been for the past couple of days, and today I saw a big fat robin in the backyard. Looks like Tulsa is going to have a gorgeous spring. O, spring, how I love thee!

Doing Things the Lenten Way

Here's a short little briefing of my life presently.

Lent begins tomorrow!!! You should give something up. It's good for you.

I'm giving up all things dairy and facebook.

I have given notice at the day care! The secretary at the counseling center has resigned so she can stay home with her kids, so I will fill that spot until I am more full time with having clients. I'll have more flexibility to schedule clients throughout the day, now that I'll be there. I start next week. I'm so so so thankful to be quitting there.

Dad is coming in for the Tulsa Workshop on Mar. 22nd!

It seems like I'm gradually getting more clients at the counseling center.

Today is rainy, cold, and dreary.

I noticed tiny blooms on trees today! Yay for spring!!!!

I love living in the same town as David. It's been a blast!

I'm watching Inception again this weekend.

I'm really looking forward to family and friend reunions this summer.

I love my new roommates and the house I'm living in.

I'm thinking about going to Honduras this summer, but I don't love the thought of raising money.

When you want God to reveal himself and act in supernatural ways in the natural world, he will. Just don't forget to keep watching. Don't forget to act, either. You may be the method/vessel he chooses to display something that is beyond what is natural and reasonable.
