Sweet and salty

I just made the best snack ever!!! Ingredients: wheat crackers, cream cheese, granny smith apple, red onion, pastrami, salt, and pepper. Pretty much just pile it all on the cracker starting with the cream cheese. Enjoy!!!

Ikea

I love ikea. Alot. I really hope they have this line of kids furniture when I have my first little one. It's so cartoon-like. Reminds me of the wardrobe on beauty and the beast.

Just me

I really like this picture of me. Gale is awesome at taking pictures. Then I modified it on my sketching app on my iPhone. I look all solemn, hahaha.

Birch trees and cardinals

So far this is my favourite picture I've done...not that I've done a tone, but we're getting a build up. I like trees. Alot. And birds. They're so "in" right now... But I like them, even when they're "out" haha.

Old books

Old books are my favourite. The look. The smell. The sound. Everything. I would much rather buy the old version of something than a new one. Especially classics. Besides old books look cool even without the dust jacket, new books just look goofy without it. Furthermore, hardbacks are way better than paperbacks.

Astro dresser

I really want this dresser.... Perhaps it will get priced within my budget. If it were painted silver, it would look like something that George jetson might keep his clothes in. But, left in it's current state if varnished oak... It's not too wacky, just slightly retro.

Recent likings

So recently I really like trees, leaves, owls, peacocks, swallows...(so, birds), poppies, all things Boho and hippie, reds, aqua, and gold.

I am working on a line of jewelry with these themes.

A New Year

Okay, so here's my first blog for this year. I know what you're thinking, gheez Maria, where have you been. Well, I've been in Hermiston visiting Shane several times now, shopping, hanging out, having breakthru, getting stabbed with a sword. Hopefully I will make assistant manager at work-considering that they are firing the current one tomorrow. Sucks for him. Oh well. Life's been pretty good...except that there seems like there is so many things that I have to wait for at present. I'll make it though. Thanks for all the prayer and support.

A Hurting Heart

I cannot wait to live in the one and amazing one horse town of Hermiston with Shane. Life shall be so much better. Dean-the pastor Shane is under is such an amazing person and preacher.

I need and love Shane soooooo much. Someday we shall be together again, and soon. Yay! I was able to visit him this past weekend. It was good, but saying goodbye is getting harder and harder. It's only been a month, but it feels like forever. My heart longs for the day when we're together forever. I want to always be at his side helping him, together following the will of God for our lives. 

I just hope this happens sooner than later. Cuz well, apparently Ive turned out to be one weak heart. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take, before I just secretly move there:) He really is the best and he has such an amazing heart that constantly longs to follow Christ.

Update

Okay so last week I got my permit, finally and I had an interview with Pizza Schmizza. I will know if I get the job sometime today. I also got a call to schedule an interview with a new Taco Del Mar near my house...

I really wanted an interview with one of the receptionist positions I filled out. But nothing has come through. Retail/Food industry is okay, something to get me by, but it's not like you can really grow and learn alot with it.

So I guess if ya'll could pray that I can get the one at either PizzaSchmizza until something more promising comes along, that'd be super.

We're going to go visit Shane again. Super excited!


Ok so here's another short update. Looks like all my prayin' paid off...finally. I got a job at Taco Del Mar and start training on Tuesday. Not the best job ever, but it's better than nothin. And I get to visit Shane this weekend! Yay! I'm sooooooooo excited.

So now, I could probably just use prayer for three things. One, that T-moblie won't shut off my account, cuz I'll be super late in paying it. Two, that I'll be a fast learner and hard worker at work, and three, that the friend I'm supposed to go visit Shane with does not bail! That'd be amazing.
