new favorite song

i looked in your eyes and saw it for a moment

the passion in your cry, the chains of life are broken

put to death by your people, you came to bring us life

only hope for the hopeless, will you remember me?

i've been ashamed

i've been put down

head in my hands

life on the ground

left heaven to save liars and thieves

sinners like me

your blood sets us free

who am i

that you would remember me?

spent all of my years stealing from the world

with everything i had i was still so poor

you have everything to lose but you're dying here with me

i believe, will you remember me?

i've been ashamed

i've been put down

head in my hands

life on the ground

left heaven to save liars and thieves

sinners like me

your blood sets us free

who am i?

take what i have left, my Savior

take me with you from this cross

when i leave this life completely

remember me

i've been ashamed

i've been put down

head in my hands

life on the ground

left heaven to save liars and thieves

sinners like me

your blood sets us free

kutless "remember me"

this weekend, my parents and i are traveling to northern va/washington dc. we're going to see the sites (the "new" aerospace smithsonian) friday afternoon/saturday morning and then saturday, paige and paul will join us for a gladwin family reunion. mike, lisa and kelly are coming from california and jordan, charlotte and declan will be there as well. it's an opportunity to get together and catch up...i saw them at the wedding, but let's face it, i was more interested in beer, dancing and taking pictures; and, to meet the newest additions to the family. :)

bella will be spending the weekend at suite paws. i know she'll have a great time...and this time, the pool should be open (i hope she's careful, she's never been swimming before!).

i have some good news to report as well...yesterday, a town to which i'd applied called to set up an interview (tuesday 8/24). this afternoon, a city/county called to set up an interview as well (tuesday 8/31). i am really excited!! these two jobs i am super interested, plus i wouldn't have to move (well, not any great distance at least). on the new job front, i have 3 within nc to apply for and one in richmond, va (the first one closes 8/31, so when i get back from dc & after my interview, it's 'go time'!)....

hope everyone has a great weekend!

i figured it was time for an update. lo and behold, i am still doing forged fitness/crossfit...this week should be my first full week and i'm looking forward to it...although today's WOD doesn't seem as "easy" as last wednesday's. ;) last thursday and friday i was in greenville for the 2010 nc apa summer planning institute. it was awesome and i'm really glad i got to go. i think i made a couple of good contacts and most of the sessions were so interesting. some people i'd interviewed with were there (& hopefully some i'll see in the near future), so i think that made a good impression. i am still hanging in there as far as the job hunt goes. i have decided not to apply for a couple of positions, mostly because i either figured out i wouldn't want to live in that town or because i really thought about what the employer was looking for and feel that it's a level or two over my head. sure, it's good practice, but let's face it...there are other opportunities out there that better suit my qualifications, like the 2 that posted last week. yep, 2 in one week (within a day or two of each other at that!). so, this week, i'm working on conover, village of marvin and the cog (wilson). financially, things are going great. this weekend was the first time i've dipped into my reserve, and that's mainly because i was behind on doing my weekly certifications (whoops!)..i filed three weeks worth yesterday. so, as soon as that comes into my account, i can pay off my reserve to get it back up to 500. but, that's pretty great for me..7 months without dipping into the pot. woo hoo! baby steps! :)

so, that's my mini update. hopefully i'll have some more good news to report in the near future!
