up in the air

today was one of those days. 

the kind of day where you just want to curl up into a ball, 

take a quick nap and hope that when you wake up, things are different.

have you seen the movie [Up In The Air]??

the one where george clooney travels around the country firing people?

there is no way i could handle that. i got a little piece of it today.

as part of my job as recruiting coordinator, i handle the day to day tasks surrounding resume collection and responses. i'm the girl that everyone hopes is in a really good mood the day their resume arrives in the inbox.

usually i get to send responses in the form of letters or emails, but today i had to break a poor heart over the phone.

why couldn't he just have let it go to voicemail??

it just killed me.

so i called my mom for a little pick me up.  

and the brilliant mother that she is, prescribed the perfect medicine: 

[chick fil a sweet tea]

luckily, it's just a few quick blocks from the office.

definitely the perfect mood changer.

this picture makes me miss jamaica,
and my mama!

it was a good reminder that even when you get beat down, 

even when you feel like you just want to curl up into a ball,

God is still so sovereign, so great, and so loving.

he has surrounded me with so many reminders of his faithfulness.

thanks for spreading the love mama! :)

p.s. tonight i came to the realization that i'm dating the most adorable 80 year old boy.

i'm so proud of him though:

tonight he made his first online shopping purchase,

and he's blogging.

yup. he wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

watch out world. we're blogging.
