Taking Stock: 10/10/14

Now that we've more or less established ourselves in our new home of Waco, TX, I thought it was about time to Take Stock again.

Making : Picture frames to decorate our bedroom and the hubs is going to make my dream table this weekend (See it here)
Cooking : Tonight we will be dining on this lovely dish--Pesto Chicken!!!!
Drinking : Water. From the Bubba Jug. 
Reading : Insurgent and Blood of Olympus--I'm a sucker for YA books
Wanting : To figure out my calling; I don't know quite where I belong in the working world and I'm losing heart...
Looking: At the pile of packages in our mail room that need to be sorted soon
Playing: Solitaire like nobodies business. I've become suddenly and overwhelmingly addicted....I even play it with real cards!
Wasting: Talent. I know I'm meant for so much more I just need to focus and let God lead me.
Sewing: Belt loops back onto my husband's jeans...he wears those pants out!
Wishing: I could go back to the last two weekends my whole family spent together at the Zoo and State Fair--we haven't had outings like that basically since we all left for college/marriage/etc and it was kind like being a kid again. I cherished it.
Enjoying: The sound of birds singing in the courtyard outside of my office
Waiting: For 1pm so I can get off of work and go home! Happy Friday!
Liking: My new favorite snack: Plain greek yogurt, a little honey, and mix in some sunflower kernels. Healthy and delicious!
Wondering: If husband made it to work ok....we are having some car issues that need to be addressed.
Loving: My husband--I don't know what it is, but lately I can't get enough of him! I always love him, but I go through these random periods of time where I simply adore him and everything he does.
Hoping: That we can start a family soon. My best friend is pregnant with her first child and we always wanted to have kids together so I'm hoping we sort our lives out and be blessed with little ones too.
Marveling: At the peace God can bring if you let Him. It's a daily power struggle for me and I'm having to learn how to let go.
Needing: More encouragement. My heart and mind are a little bit lost at the moment and I could use a few good pep talks.
Smelling: The quietness of the Lobby where my desk is located. You know how people have distinctive smells? Well, it's just me today and although I love my perfume, it smells a little lonely in here....
Wearing: My Baylor t-shirt for Spirit Day. At my old office we never got to wear jeans, here it's every Friday! Huzzah!!!
Following: New people on Instagram. I haven't had mine for very long so it's fun to find new people. You can find me at thesetwohearts411  :)
Noticing: My silly handwriting on the announcement board...I swear I write like a 7th grader...
Knowing: "Is half the battle!" Sometimes not knowing feels so much better...
Thinking: About all of the life decisions I need to make. You're mid-twenties are so full of possibility and I just hope I open the right doors.
Feeling: Anxious about our future; student loans are really weighing heavy on me right now. 
Bookmarking: All of these...
Opening: The new books that the hubs surprised me with last night!
Giggling: This. Just this whole thing. Watch it. 

I am one blessed girl. :)

Taking Stock

Making : Lists of all the things that must. get. done.
Cooking : Leaner Sloppy Joe's with ground turkey instead of beef. Tone It Up represent!
Drinking : Water. Always water.
Reading : Speak Love by Annie F. Downs--learning to use my words more positively. Especially words towards myself.
Wanting : To eat ALL of the candy and snacks my mom sent us in our Easter "basket." That woman is incredible.
Looking: At all of the blogs I follow on bloglovin. Such talented ladies out there.
Playing: With my nails--I'm obsessed with my cuticles and keeping them in order. 
Wasting: Time. I just can't seem to get myself to use it better. So. many. projects.
Sewing: Sadly, nothing. *See directly above.
Wishing: Summer would get here--Wamava here I come!
Enjoying: Almond butter--sweet and nutty, I love it more than PB but don't tell my husband!
Waiting: For 5:00. It's 67 degrees, sunny and a good day for a walk around the campus.
Liking: All of the shoes and bags on sale at Sole Society. Regrettably, no extra moolah for said shoes.
Wondering: If the boys in the office will answer the messages today.
Loving: My husband. Like a lot. Anniversaries always make me giddy with love!
Hoping: We'll find solid jobs when we get back to Texas after camp. 
Marveling: At the change in seasons--God keeps us on our toes for sure. It's a nice metaphor for not getting too comfortable with any situation...adaptability is key!
Needing: To know the plans for our Saturday trip to Nashville--we finally get to see Kris and Lauryn again! Yay!
Smelling: My almond butter. And Lysol wipes. Yikes.
Wearing: A summery top I got last year from Old Navy. And long hair that I'm still considering chopping off.
Following: The conversation trailing off down the hallway. Put my desk out in the open and I will hear things.
Noticing: Pain in my knee that occurs when I sit too long. Getting older.
Knowing: That aging takes courage. Am I ready to face the battle?
Thinking: About all of my to-do lists, the boxes piling up, and what the future will hold.
Feeling: Bored at this particular moment but in general: nervous/excited/terrified/hopeful
Bookmarking: All the things!!! 
Opening: The chips that came in the package my mom sent. Sour cream and cheddar--my fave!
Giggling: With my co-workers--everything has been hilarious today. Is there something in the air?
Feeling: How much I will miss the people I've come to love here--I wouldn't trade today for anything...
