off i go again.

i am leaving tomorrow for what will be my 4th weekend of sifting through my suitcase in hopes of finding a great outfit and realizing that i left something, whatever it may be, at home. life should be slowing down for me in about a week and i couldn't be more thrilled. life is exciting. there are things happening. it's flying by. i don't want to miss it. miss out on how excellent my days can be if i just let go and roll with the punches.

so anyways, i am going to chareston, wv thurs-sun. promo-ing at a youth convention. i know wv isn't going to be the most hopping place in the world and for this, i'm grateful. i crave solitude right now. that is probably due to the fact that i have had such a hectic month, but also because things change when you get married. it's not like i can come home from work and go in my bedroom and do what i want. no. i have responsibilities. i have a marriage to maintain. not to make it sound like a job, but it takes effort. dedication. grant & i were actually talking about that tonight. i am up and at work before he even thinks about getting out of bed so when i come home at night, sometimes as late as 7, i only spend 3-4 hours with him. it's crazy. so, back to my solitude... charleston (from what i hear) is a beautiful, old town and is perfectly set on the river. my hotel is downtown and a couple blocks from the water. i can't wait to pop my ipod in and stroll down the brick roads while i peer into all the shop windows. sounds perfect, doesn't it?

either way, i have a blank journal and a brand new book in tow and i feel set. i'm hoping for some discovery this weekend. i have expectation. i know that this youth convention is for the students, but i am going for me too. i am going expecting that god is dragging me all the way up there for me.

i'll let you know how that goes...
