after a long hiatus from blogging in general, i finally feel ready to share my heart with the virtual world. and maybe, after some shameless plugging, people will remember this blogspot address and pay attention.

for now, i will not share any heartfelt confessions or deep ponderings on life - though they are soon to come - today i'll keep it light.

i suppose i'm completely adapted to life in Texas again. friends, job, routine, church -- the pains of Mexico don't hit me daily anymore, though I still think on it and smile.

last night i saw one of my best guy friends get down on one knee and propose to my roommate. i'm so happy for them.

i'm enjoying my job and the crazy things that kids say. trying to remember that my job is to serve them, not for them to serve me.

long-distance relationships are hard but i adore my boyfriend and i enjoy getting to know him more each day. he makes me laugh and challenges me to line up my life with what i know to be true.

as for the future, well - i have a feeling that 2010 will be full of plans, surgery, travelling, friendships, celebrations, new discoveries, and good wine... so here's to the whirlwind. follow along with me :)
