Truckin'...

Just for the record I am NOT complaining about having a job, I am VERY thankful that Kyle and I both have fairly stable jobs right now :)

I have been completely exhausted the last couple of weeks though. My supervisor regularly changes which office I'm working in, my hours and my modality(CT or MR). I never know where I'm going to be until I get a call or get to work that morning. I like the variety and I'm meeting a lot of neat people and I'm learning a whole heck of a lot of stuff but it's very tiring. The next few weeks or so I'll be working 50+ hour weeks plus my hour drive to work and hour drive back home everyday. I get home, eat and go to bed most nights. Thankfully I love what I do, it makes it easier to deal with all the stress. Just gotta keep truckin' along.... it'll get better eventually.

Kyle is still happy with his job for the most part. He really likes being off-site and having a lot more freedom. Everybody at the college loves him to death, he is everyone's fav IT tech. When he was at main campus everyone would call his direct number instead of putting in work orders, haha. Kyle has recently picked up a new hobby... the guitar! He borrowed one from a guy at church and he's been teaching himself for the most part. Him and his buddy at work spend their lunch hours in the music stores. I'm lovin' it, it's going to be much fun when he can play songs for us. I love live music so this is very exciting for us.

In other news... my car is in the shop this morning getting a belt tightened. It kinda irritates me because we just paid a ton of money to get all the belts replaced and now 3 weeks later one is lose. It started squealing last night when I left work and it really scared me because it was dark and I was in a very bad area of Durham and I really didn't need my car breaking down there so Kyle took it in first thing this morning. Hopefully nothing else is wrong... I really need my car.

Anybody else ready for March?? I AM! It will be a very exciting month and we have plans like every weekend already. We have tons of March birthdays in our family! I'm super excited because our One Year Anniversary is coming up and we are gettin' away for a few days, yay! Then two of my very good friends that I've known forever are getting married. And then we have a women's retreat at church that I'm going on. Hopefully I won't be too tired from work to enjoy all the fun stuff in life ;)

This is one of my most favorite songs in the whole world, it is so powerful. Here are the words, but you have to actually hear it. This is what it's all about it...two words can truly change your life. Jesus Christ. I love Him more than anything and I live to honor and praise His name because he has changed my life...forever.

In Christ Alone
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend


In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
