May not be true.

It's Friday. I know, it's hard to decipher which day is what in the summer if you're not working and just going on doing nothing. I tend to have that problem. However, today I know it's Friday. Today was the last day for certain things to get straightened out, and unfortunately nothing went as planned. Well, as we planned. But, God has a plan and a reason for everything, right? So we just have to keep on keeping on until He decided to clue us in.

Wednesday night we went to our friend Jessica's apartment for dinner. Zach (her boyfriend) was there as well as her roommate (who is Zach's sister) , and her roommate's boyfriend (I think). Unfortunately I can't quite remember the two's names, but I'm sure we'll meet again. Jessica made Bourbon chicken which was absolutely delicious, and we spent the night (after eating) playing Last Word and Cranium. It may sound dorky, but three couples playing games couldn't have been more fun.

Last night we then had Tim and Leah over for dinner. I made enchiladas with Spanish rice and Clark made margaritas. We spent at least an hour talking, and then, since Clark and I don't have any good "party" games, we played a card game called MOW. The point of the game is to learn how to play while playing. As long as you have one or two people who know the rules, it's a lot of fun. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Clark and I are even, most likely, going over to Tim's apartment today to join him and Leah to watch the soccer games going on. While Clark and I aren't really in to following soccer, I have a feeling we're going to be by the end of this World Cup. Zach is really in to it, and Tim is really in to it, so Clark will probably get really in to it... it's just a cycle.

I must say I'm so thankful we have two couples, thus far, that we're really comfortable with. It's nice to have friends to hang out with without the pressure of trying to act single or stuff stupid like that. When Clark hangs out with his single guy friends, and I hang out with my single girl friends, or we have single friends over-- it's just a totally different atmosphere than having couples over. While none of the couples we hang out with are married (yet), it's not any different than it would be if they were.

I didn't get that part time job I applied for, so I'm looking at other ways to go for employment. I have decided I really need a job, as much as I am against working, because it will really help Clark and I out. He takes on so much (even though I do, too), and I think working will show Clark I'm willing to do just as much. I don't have to prove myself, but in a sense I feel like I do. When I was working at Calvin Klein I knew that if anything happened to Clark or if anything happened financially to us, I at least had a small job that would keep me or us minorly comfortable. Now, however, we're both up the river with not even a piece of a paddle. So, prayers and any known opportunities would be greatly appreciated. It's just our time to learn lessons, I think, according to God. We just have to remember that everything is possible through Him, and as long as we lean on Him... He'll make it happen.

Well, the days have been somewhat uneventful. I've been trying to fill them with exercise, reading, and little projects here and there that are satisfying. We've been moving around the furniture in the office to make it more open and more relaxing, amongst other things. Clark has agreed that it is to be my "writing room," so to speak. We're going to turn the part that was a guest room in to a part for me to go in the mornings or to do my homework or what have you. Don't worry, though. If you were planning a visit-- we still have a queen (or is it a double?) blow up mattress that will fit in the open space, as well as sheets and such. I think the blow up mattress is probably more comfortable than the hand-me-down twin mattress that we received from the Dunns.

As asked before, please say some prayers that things work out for us right now. We just have to remember to have patience and to trust God with all this.

Until next time.

We've all got out junk, and my junk is you!
