I Am Cold!

I have been freezing all day! I just can't seem to warm up. I think it stayed in the 30s today which is really cold for us. Never fear...it is supposed to be in the 70s by Monday.

I don't know if I will survive my trip to Alaska in March. I may literally freeze to death. So far I have purchased a new coat that is supposed to keep me warm in temperatures as low as -15 degrees. We'll see about that. I also purchased a few new long sleeve t-shirts for layering and I'm in the market for some long underwear and a new pair of boots. However cold it may be I'm really looking forward to this trip. I can't wait to see Davita again. And, I need to get out of town. Way out of town. Maybe that will help clear my head and give me some clarity on my life.

So today I went to work. We were supposed to get freezing rain last night, which would have meant that I stayed home to work. But, it didn't happen so I was quite disappointed in the fact that I actually had to go to work. Tonight I went to Casey's basketball game. They blew the other team out of the water, but she didn't get to play very much. There's always next time I guess.

What does the weekend hold? Tomorrow I am going town house shopping. I'm looking forward to that a lot. Then Sunday is a surprise birthday party. So, despite the few disappointments I had this evening during a phone call I am looking forward to the weekend.

Wanted: Adventure

Is it crazy to want adventure in your life? I don't think it is. I think God is very adventurous and desires the same thing for me. So, what exactly do I want? I want to step out onto a new limb every day...experience something new all the time. I want to travel. I want to meet exciting people. I want to love and be loved (what greater adventure is there than that?!!). I want to have children. I want to climb things. I want to take risks. I want to do things that make people say, "Why would anyone want to do that?".

I started with Israel. Very good start in my opinion. When I began telling people about the trip I always got the same response. WHY?! It was a great trip and really inspired me to see the rest of this amazingly diverse world I live in.

Anywho, enough musing for the day. Let's get to the boring stuff: What happened today. Not much at all. Work, then home, then Target, now blogging to avoid my reading for my class on Sunday. This wasn't a very adventurous day. :-)
