Happy Monday!
I've been thinking about blogging for a few days now, and I finally worked up the motivation, so here I am. I'm working from home today because we had a big snowfall and the roads are super icy, but I have already put in over 6 productive hours of work, and I think I deserve a break. Of course, I could be doing these piles of laundry that have been sitting on our floor since yesterday, but what's the fun in that?
Let's see, what's new in my life? Well, you 3 already know this, but I went to the eye doctor last week and learned that I officially need glasses. Apparently, I am farsighted, and also one of my eyes naturally looks slightly outward rather than straight ahead, so I have to strain my eyes to focus on things up close. That's right, I have a crazy eye. This is not really news to me considering I've always had my little eye - I just know he's the culprit. I won't need to wear them all the time, pretty much just at work and when I'm reading. But, still! I'm sad.
Toby and I went to our first small group activity at our new church last week. We are checking out a group for newlywed couples called The Honeymooners. So far, so good. This week, I have my work "Christmas party" (oh, the joys of working at an organization that actually gets busier at Christmas time), so we can't go to the group, but we'll try again next week. We're still searching for more kindred couple friends...why can't it just be easy to meet a couple we both like?! Seriously, I am sick of moving and changing friends every few years (elementary, middle, high school, college, post-college, married, etc). Are you sure none of you want to move to Minnesota? :P
On a more serious note, there is something I'd like some prayer for. In the last few months, I have come to the realization/conviction that I have a lot of anxiety. I keep it inside for the most part, but it definitely comes out at Toby's expense and it is stressing out both of us. I think I might seriously have mild OCD, because the anxiety is mostly about cleanliness and organization. I've always been a neat-freak, but I feel like I'm starting to have more of an emotional reaction when things are out of place or dirty -- and that is different than how it's been in the past. I feel like it's a spiritual issue too, because I'm living with a lot of fear and not trusting God to take care of things. I would really appreciate prayer, because my biggest goal right now is to start turning my anxiety and fear over to God.
Okay, back to work. I love you ladies a ton! Have a great week!
