TOUR OF TEXAS

so i wanted to let you guys know that danny (boyfriend) and i are leaving on sunday to roadtrip to texas. we will be hitting up dallas, longview, and beaumont. the tentative dates for the tour of texas are as follows:


sun, 3/8 - leave redding
mon, 3/9 - sleep in arizona, drive
tues, 3/10 - audit classes @ convergence school of supernatural in fort worth (want to see what our friends are doing)
wed, 3/11 - longview, spend night
thurs, 3/12 - leave for beaumont
fri, 3/13 - beaumont, parents!

sun, 3/15 - beaumont, parents!
mon, 3/16 - leave for dallas, dinner w/ family in greenville
tues, 3/17 - 6am prayer in denton , fun in denton, dinner @ greenhouse restaurant on locust @ 6pm (rsvp w/ me please)!
wed, 3/18 - move a storage unit in aubrey(want to help?), fun in dallas!
thurs, 3/19 - fun in dallas, dinner @ gloria's on beltline & tollway @ 7pm then drinks @ palomino club (come one, come all... just rsvp!)
fri, 3/20 - fun in dallas!
sat, 3/21 - fun in dallas!
sun, 3/22 - church @ denton, leave for california
mon, 3/23 - sleep in arizona, drive
tues, 3/24 - back in redding

i am going to do my best to see as many of your as possible. one thing that will help me is if you make an effort to attend one of my fun dinners tues 3/17 or thurs 3/19. oh, how i've missed black bean dip and quail! oh, how i’ve missed quaint patios w/ mild non-rainy weather!

note, we're still looking for a place to stay in longview as well as on the trip back and forth to and from dallas. we'd ideally love to land in arizona for a night on the way to and from texas b/c it's a pretty good midway point. even still, we're open. i feel a tad weird about asking for a hookup and i know we could just get a hotel, but it took a miracle of god to get us on this trip. you have no idea how much we’d appreciate it...

love you all and can't wait to see you, catch up, have a nice drink, and laugh a little. and i know that danny looks forward to meeting all of you!

much love...

really, what am i doing???

so we all know i'm not doing 2nd year. we all know that i still make jewelry. but how do i support myself now that i can't reasonably send out letters soliciting money from anyone i've ever met?

i'm doing temp work. i just got a 3.5 week job @ a local human resources company. i volley between answering phones and mailing out my chic little jewelry postcards. now and then, i actually return an email or blog.

i'm also (still) revamping my website. i'm already offering gift certificates that can be purchased right off of the site. i'm also working on a bridal section. i have to get the photos from the brides first... *sigh* i'm getting things ready for a holiday show slated for november 15th. can't recall if i've already announced that or not. i just got the sweetest postcards to promote it. they may very well be my favorite ever. i'll be selling ornaments & wine markers that day @ monica's.

let's see... what else can be said for my evasive posture these days? i still don't answer my phone or texts b/c i have one of those super oldschool ones that does nothing but calls people. it's illegal to talk while you're driving so the only thing to do is put that phone on speakerphone and stuff it into my cleavage. driving used to be the time when i talked to everyone. but since the commute in redding is a fraction of the commute in dallas... there's just not time for that. i've been trying to get a reasonable amount of sleep these days. such a strange thought, i know.

and then there's ministry. my homegroup from last year felt like it was time to take it to the next level so we changed days and moved to a room in the church (was a home group... in the home). i'm on the ministry team as a lead for prophetic ministry. woo hoo. i'm excited b/c i enjoy shaping and building new things. this should be interesting. and as a sidenote, i designed the business cards for the ministry. they turned out lovely, if i say so myself.

overall, my life has gone from macroeconomics to microeconomics. i've gone from seeing things on a grand scheme to beginning to see the bits and pieces and how they all go together. if i recall correctly, i really hated macro b/c it was all so foreign to me. however, i fell in love w/ micro b/c i actually began to how all those pieces and parts snap together and what they're used for. i hate generalizations and, as w/ economics, i had a really hard time figuring out the grand overview of what life looks like in the kingdom of heaven. however, i'm seeing an ease surfacing that i can partially contribute to the way that my brain works, i believe. that's a great revelation, chrystal.

until next time, be expectant and proactive w/ your faith. and by all means, enjoy the process!
