By the Power of Greyskull!

Last night Robert and I got in touch with our Saturday morning cartoon roots and watched our Netflix rental of The Best of He Man. They just don't make them like this anymore.

She-Ra opening

I had to give She-Ra her due as well.

Miracles in CO

So we've been going to a Four Square church since we moved here b/c our roommates go there and I was hesitant at first because of what I thought a Four Square church was, eventhough I'd never been to one. So the Pastor (Pastor Tom as he is affectionately called by everyone) is very passionate and evangelical and he preaches a lot about changing your life for the better and getting away from the sin in your life. He's not as happy go lucky as I'm used to, he gets down into it and convicts you. A little fire and brimstone-like, which is new for me. This morning he had a time of invitation, he called it going to the altar. As a background to me, I've been feeling numb for quite awhile (longer than I'd like to admit) with moments of fleeting feeling in my soul, but mostly numb. He even mentioned that he knew some of the congregation was feeling that way. So he had this time of invitation, but he never mentioned "rededicating" our lives to Christ which to me sounds so cliche. Like when you go to a youth conference when you were in high school and saying you'll change 100% right at that moment and then going back to how you were a couple of days after you get home to normal life. Instead he just said if you want to come up and pray with someone and admit that you need to fix what's been making you empty or hurt in some way, then come on up. Our roommate Vanessa went up first, and then Robert went up, which touched me so much. He would hate that I'm sharing this, but he doesn't read this anyway. Last week he decided to let Jesus into his life in a personal way. He's been one of the many believers who believes in God but not the church. He figured that the church is a bunch of hypocrites and judgemental people, which I know I've encountered as well over the past few years. But back to this morning... It took me a few minutes to get up there after RObert went up. By the way he was the first male to go up there, they called him a real man for doing that. My feet felt like lead for awhile, I couldn't move or I wouldn't let myself move. But I couldn't fight it anymore and I went up there, tears in my eyes and my heart pounding. I asked the Pastor's wife Wendy to pray for me, I just told her I was numb and she totally understood. She hugged me as I shook and she prayed for me and told me she loved me. Obviously I'm not on fire yet, but I have a little sparks going on, and it helps to have people close to me that are moving at the same pace as I am.

Heroes season 2 New trailer

I am so freaking excited about Heroes next Monday!

Final Health Update... hopefully

I got the LEEP today where they totally scraped the spots on my cervix. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would (thanks to the numbing that made me really shaky, weird stuff) and they got all of it so I just have to go see him in a month for a follow up and then have 3 paps in a 12 month period, if you're a girl you know how much that sucks. But it's better to be safe and make sure nothing comes back. I hope this is the end of my reproductive organs being abnormal.

3 weeks in CO

I've been here for 3 weeks now, but it feels longer... but in a good way. I got a job right away (Thank God!) and I actually like it, I have at least one friend (also my roommate but she rocks!), I haven't toured as much as I'd like but I have forever to do that, and I got my first CO speeding ticket. At least the cops are nice here and you can pay the ticket right away, no waiting for a bill to come in the mail. If you're wondering, I was going 76 in a 65 on a loooooooong stretch of open highway that no one was on. I'd like to think it's because I still have my CA plates and no one likes us Californians, or it could be that I was speeding.
I also came to a big decision that will stay with me forever but I'll keep you in suspense about that one until I know when it will happen.
I miss everyone back home and I wish I would hear from them more but I know how busy everyone is. I know it comes down to the fact that when you move away you lose contact with your friends, it's inevitable. You don't always see them, therefore they aren't on your mind as much. I don't want this to be a pity party, just thoughts that I have sometimes. If you've moved away from your friends than you may know what I am talking about. At least we have the internet. There's a funny image I saw with a guy hugging his computer. It says, "I love my computer, my friends live in it." So true, so true.
