Updates:November

Update on our apartment:

We are in contract. The papers are signed. Tentative date: mid to end of January.

Update on our move:

Today, it looks like we are moving to SLC. Ask me again next week and I may have a different answer. Tom leaves to interview for jobs in a couple of weeks. Wish him luck. Or don't, if you are one of those that wants us to stay.

Update on my sewing projects:

I have been a bit unmotivated. But, I'm just finishing up my third fall dress and beginning a pencil skirt that will look something like this, and a jacket that will look something like this. I will post pics of the dresses next week.

Update on my boy:

He is still learning how to smile on que.

Update on me:

I feel like this most of the time. Completely unmotivated to do anything.

A Sunday post

Am I a changed girl?

I ask myself this, because it seems I might have made some priority changes in my life, at least for now. 

Last Sunday I had an awakening to my spirituality, mainly due to Katie's lesson. I have since, been moved to take time for myself each day to draw myself closer to the spirit.

Prior to Sunday, my day usually went as follows, wake up, check my email, go for a run, feed Luke breakfast, check my email again,  put Luke down for a nap, check my email once more, do some blogging, and the day goes on, mainly filled with as much useless nonsense as I could possibly fit in.

Why can't we fit in 15 to 20 minutes for a morning prayer, for scripture study?  Katie asked us last Sunday. Well, for me, simply put, there are many other things I would rather do, and not to mention I'm lazy. But Monday morning, after I put Luke down from his nap, I did it. I prayed on my knees, and read a few articles out of the Ensign. I started small, 15 minutes is all I committed to, but I followed through, every day last week.

I can't say that I cut out all of the nonsense, or I am now a better person, but the few minutes I spend on me, are now filled with feelings of gratitude, humility, comfort, and hope. And those, I can't find on any of my bookmarks.
