So I quit my new job. =/ shocked? I had been feeling really uneasy about it the second week, and the weeks leading up to starting...Garrett had been having similar feelings, and in general knew that I was totally burned out on "office work". After much praying and (the Holy Spririt) tugging at me, I realized I was completely out of God's Perfect Will. Andrew was gracious about it though. He actually offered to show me a simple "work from home" thing that he does in his spare time, which generates a substantial income. However, we are not going to make plans. That's how I got in the mess. We are waiting on what God wants. Garrett has been majorly supportive the entire time. I'm so glad God speaks to Him.

We spent a week with my Best Friend in Texas (sara!) and her tiny family. her hubby was away a lot, but the kids made up for it double! I miss you Sarapoo!

The agony and impatience of waiting for my sister Jessica to "pop" has finally subsided with the birth of her gorgeous daughter, Elizabeth Marie. She is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. She came into the world November 3rd weighing 8 pounds 6.6 ounces, and was a whopping 21 inches long!!! Welcome to the world Beautiful!

Some amazing things happen when you are obedient to God. On Monday night (last) The Director of Break Down called me to ask if I could possibly learn and perform the lines for a character who's actress and understudy had taken ill...the show would be on Wednesday. I didn't have time to practice until late Tuesday afternoon, and a few hours later we were at a dress rehearsal. God is GOOD! I knew all the lines, and had SUCH a blast. It was the first time I've been on a stage since the HA in 2005-2006.

Wednesday night was the premiere of Garrett's first ever full length feature film! It was shown at the Tower Theatre in Tucson, and we had about 200 people turn out. G dressed in a Tuxedo and gave a great welcoming speech, and even told the audience that I was his right hand (even though I did very little compaired to some others). He flattered me, but meant every word...I think he's in love. :) The show is amazing. I can't even tell you. Go here -> http://theignitionproject.com/bdmovie/ for more.

On Thursday I got to be a spoiled house wifey. I vegged at home with the hubby all day. Yep. On a Thursday even.

Friday night was so great, we got bundled up (it's gotten a little chilly here the past week or so) and walked around down town and 4th Ave. Kind of a cool place to be the night before Holloween. We saw some strange characters, and also had a moment of romance or 2 along the lamps and music. 

We decided to have a surprise (meaning surprise for me) Holloween costume party on Saturday. We got candy and dressed up, and had 5 guests come!

The whole job thing has been nagging me. I am thoroughly enjoying my "free" time, but simultaneously worrying about how we will pay bills, and how we are supposed to get pregnant with only one working parent. But I had some incredible meetings with Jesus this week, and suffice it to say, I was encouraged by His Word. On Sunday I went up for prayer for my persistant Eczema, and the Intorcessor had more than just healing come into her words. She cooed the words "a New Wine Skin" along with a description of a "Stretching situation" that would bring me to new depths. It was the confirmation I needed. I have a feeling that God is going to be testing me in some areas soon. This week (with breakdown) He even proved that my faithfulness would be put to use. I am so grateful, and for the first time in my life, I feel like I don't need to know what happens next. I just need to be available for the call.

I am officially on the "Mommy in Waiting" list. We are trying to have a baby. It's such an exciting and terrifying prospect. I am due to take the test in another few days, but I want to be really sure, and not get my hopes up, so I'm waiting til the week that I'm supposed to have a menstruel cycle. Hahaha...i"m sure someone else can attest to my impatience. Even (and especially) with the birth of my gorgeous niece, I'm not satisfied. Garrett and I will have been married for 7 months on the 17th of November.

That's it. I tried to be breif...but no one reads this anyway. It's mostly for me, and for when I become famous, then they can make it into a book.

love,

Me.

Garrett and I baked a chocolate cake last night, just because we really wanted one. We were going to try to eat the whole thing, but that was REALLY difficult, so we each had a giant slice, and then went to sleep. It was fun to bake as a family. A little, tiny, itty-bitty family. Just us two. :) I love that guy.

(uhhh...Garrett, I see you are wearing Marti Gras beads...)

I finally ordered my perscription glasses, and am totally thrilled to be wearing them! I don't know about other contact wearers, but my eyes get so tired with them in, and I really don't have a choice (as I haven't had glasses in over a year). My eyes also tend to be dry a lot, and I think it's because my contacts made it so they didn't really need tears as much, so my tearducts are close to useless nowadays.

Here are some pics of the new glasses...on me of course!

This is Pepsi's greatest advertisment. They should pay me.
