Journey of Desire

"One thing I have come to embrace is this: we have to let it go. The more comfortable we are with mystery in our journey, the more rest we'll know along the way. The Christian life is full of paradox...Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, yet possessing everything." - Journey of Desire

This quote a friend gave to me when I was having a hard time after my car accident about 2 years ago.  I always come back to it when I feel lost.  I know life is hard and we forget about what is important.  It makes me realize God has my life in his hands, and I will follow him where ever he takes me even when I may be unsure.

I know I may not be rich with money, but I'm rich with God's love, good family, and friends.  God has always given me what I needed, when I needed it.  No matter what life throws at me I know God is always there no matter what, along with my family and friends.

Old Movies

I absolutely adore old movies from the 1920s to 1960s.  I believe movies should be made that way again.  I think movies now-a-days are so violent and sex-oriented.  If you look at old movies there weren't sex scenes, instead it was kind of implied, and the violence was never overpowering.  I do love the old horror movies like Frankenstein, Dracula, etc.  My favorite genre by far is romance.

I just watched the movie "It Happened One Night" (1934).  It is one of my favorite movies. It stars Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, and directed by Frank Capra. A spoiled heiress runs away from her family, and is helped by a man who's actually a reporter looking for a story.  A little piece of information for you; Claudette Colbert became famous for her legs after this film.  I highly recommend you see this film if you haven't
already!

I also watched a movie called "Affair To Remember" (1957), directed by Leo McCarey.  It stars Carey Grant, Deborah Kerr, and Richard Denning.  The couple falls in love on a cruise, and decides to meet six months later at the top of the Empire State Building.  It;s a very touching story that will make you tear up for sure.  This is also a most see if you haven't already!

Waffle Fries

I haven't quite decided which place I like in town more for waffle fries.  It's between Brothers or Green Mill, unless someone knows a better place in town?  I know the Malt Shop in Minneapolis off of W 50th St and Lyndale Avenue, has amazing waffle fries that I use to dip into my Oreo Cookie Malt. MMMmmmm!

What do you want to be when you grow up? (College)

"Being an audit accountant is like being a dentist.  People don't want to see you, but they know they have to." -Nate O.


I have always loved going to school.  I loved meeting new people and learning new things.  I couldn't wait to go to college to make something of myself.

When I was growing up I thought I had it all figured out on who I wanted to be.  I think I changed my mind three times.  The three professions were Veterinarian, Nurse, and Music Manager.  I did actually go to school for Music Business, but there were no jobs. So I decided to go back to school to be a Registered Nurse, but I changed my mind when I took an Accounting class.  I am now going to school for my Bachelors in Accounting so I can take the CPA test.  The career path I have chosen my not have been what I dreamed about being, but I am very good with numbers and feel this is the right choice.  I do plan on going back to school for another profession down the road.  I'm not quite sure what it will be at this point in time, but I'm thinking it will be in journalism or medical industry.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?  Did you change your mind a lot?  What did you end up choosing to go to school for?
