Hiatus

I've definitely been in a blogging funk since arriving to Charleston... and I think mostly its because I have been so busy since I've been here, which I'm grateful for. I had quite the opposite notion that I would be spending a lot of time in my apartment and "homemaking" but in reality I am gone 2-3 evenings out of the week doing something with "Lucis Via" the Catholic young adult group here in Charleston. I really am so blessed that I have already found a group of people that I can call friends and I can count on. I've been doing some fun activities lately with friends, I will post several pictures to document the happenings so far but I am ashamed to say I haven't been faithful with picture taking. So my few pictures will have to suffice. 

I am loving Charleston but my wallet isn't loving it quite as much, the sales tax here is a whole 1.25% higher than back at home so that is a big change for me and there are so many great places to shop here. I had my first out of town guest 2 weekends ago... my friend joy beth came to visit me in her last few weeks of singledom. She gets married April 14 and I am her maid of honor. I'm trying to enjoy the few times I get to have with my single friends since it seems that most of my friends are married or getting married. Nothing against my married friends but it is not God's timing for me right now and I am not going to try to make anything happen or seek out someone just because I'm single. I'm still healing from my previous break up and I want to be as whole as I can be for the person God has in store for me. I am really trying to focus this lent on healing and forgiving, just as Jesus forgave the people who sang his praises just a week before and then sentenced him to death. He is the only one who can put my heart at peace and who can make my spirit whole again. 

I've also been reading the Hunger Games series recently and I have to say I am hooked! I still have to read the third book "Mockingjay" but I have to admit I'm 'Team Peeta.' Something that I love about a guy that is  so constant. 

Anyways glad to be back to the blogging world. Writing things out always seems to make things feel better. Hope everyone had a great Saint Patrick's day!
