Here is a bit of what is happening now, a glimpse of the next few weeks and a bit about this past weekend.
Today I was bad and didn't want to go for a jog. I made myself and it only lasted for 15 minutes. I had a lot to do and just wasn't feeling it. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow.
I have been eating pretty well. Need to learn not to snack, and if I am going to it has to be nutritional.
This is the last week before we get almost three weeks off. It didn't originally start off as three, but since we aren't having a Spring Break project come we have a little more time off! It will be really nice. Here is what is happening during that time:
Allison is coming on Friday!! I am so excited. She is one of the girls from Alabama that I went out and helped start the Tau chapter of ADX last Jan. That was such a fun weekend. I have actually only met her that one weekend, but we have stayed in contact and God has a way of putting people in our lives that touch us so deeply that time doesn't matter. She is studying in Germany and really looking forward to Easter services in English. She will be here for almost a week.
After Allison leaves we are headed to an All Staff Retreat for three days. This should be a great time with Agape staff. When I get back to Edinburgh on Sunday April 3rd Jen and Kristin will be waiting for me!! We have a fun trip planned to Dublin, Ireland!! I can't wait. I haven't seen either of them in forever and they are two of my bestest friends. We are going to have a blast.
Jen and Kristin will also be here for just under a week. I think after spending that much time being a tourist and enjoying time with good friends I will need a few days off. During that last week I will have a meeting or two, but it shouldn't be too bad.
That is what is happening soon, here is a bit of what happened on Saturday.
Saturday
Today was a glorious day. I stayed up way too late last night so I slept in until 11. I then got ready for my day. I got a text from a friend asking if I wanted to go to the cinema, I am always up for that. Went to run a couple errands and ran into that friend. We enjoyed the day together.
It was so nice outside that I didn't need a sweater or a jacket. We pretended we were tourists for a little while and went to the tourist area to shop. I got what I needed. We weren't sure what to do, so I invited her over for lunch and a movie. After the movie she left. I decided I should go for a jog and I did!! Everybody was out in the meadows. It was great to people watch while I was jogging. I ran into some friends and chatted a while and then finished my jog. Then had to get ready for the movie.
We saw Coach Carter. Very good. Movies come out like a month later than they do there.
I tried on a pair of jeans that I hadn't been able to zip and they fit!! Woo hoo!! I am going to keep this up. I have been eating really well all week. I haven't had any sweets all during Lent. I am lookin into joining the Uni gym so I can take Kickboxing!
Share your illustrations with me, would love to hear about your life :)

Carrie you are so cute! You inspire me to go jogging! I cannot wait to see you in only 12 DAYS!! We're going to have SO much fun!
On Sunday I was finally able to wear the beautiful purple scarf you crocheted for me. I received so many nice comments on it. :-)
(This is my first time posting a comment, so I hope I sumbit it correctly.) Have a great week and see you SOON! Love ya, Jen
Carrie - YOU inspire me! I'm glad we can "work-out" together :) Get ready to be a tourist even longer - cause that's what I'll be when I'm there and I'll want to go to all those areas :)
Hey hottie!! Thats right, I'm coming in 2 days!!! I'm so excited to see you again. See you at the airport.
Well, I'm not coming out in a few days like everyone else, which is a serious bummber :( BUT, keep up the jogging - maybe it will inspire me to get my butt back to the gym! Have a wonderful Vacation - I know you need it being in full-time ministry. Love ya - Alisha
