To.. the dreamers

Im really interested in dreams and visions right now and so Ive been doing a lot of research and listening to a lot things. Mainly because Ive been having vivid dreams for about the last week or so, I usually have about one really good one a month that I can remember and lately they have been almost every night. God speaks in dreams through symbolism or sometimes its literal.. Its amazing what God is trying to tell you once you listen and 'hear' him.

Proverbs 25: 2
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. "

Numbers 12:6-8
"he said, "Listen to my words: "When a prophet of the LORD is among you, I reveal myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

In this clip at the bottom 'Understanding Dreams and Thinking Metaphorically - Part 1 & Part 2', he will go over like 10 most common dreams : flying dreams, showing up late somewhere, being chased, falling dreams, having a baby, teeth falling out, etc.

Its really interesting to see how these are interpreted...

(Part 1 goes over the basis of things, talks about dreams, and dejavu (really interesting!).

Part 2 interprets the 10 most common dreams.)

To.. happiness

Wow, this week is going fast. AWESOME!

Last night we had small group at Steak n Shake, we ended up talking for like 3 hours there, it was a good time. Lately I have been having some really amazing dreams and Im getting really obsessed with getting them all interpreted too! I think it would be cool to eventually learn how to do that, Im in the beginning steps of that process. Maybe Ill share my dream on the next post, Im having my friends husband interpret it now.

I feel very blessed to have new friends that have come into my life. I know Ive said it before but to have other women who you can count on and talk to about anything without judgement is amazing. I have always felt like I can talk to Dan about anything, and actually we dont have any secrets, we tell each other everything but theres just some stuff a guy just doesnt want to hear or cant relate to.. thats why girl friends are so important! Its awesome being able to share with other Christian wives that share the same views on marriage, and faith, and have the same values as you. This year is such a good year for me. I feel like Im finally coming into my own, finally standing up for myself on what I feel is right, esp against people I feel like I cant speak my mind to even if its SOO hard.. and my relationships with Dan and friends and family are better. Maybe getting older isnt so bad. :)

Life is good.

To.. patience is key

Mondays... ugh. Today has been one of the Mondays! It has taken every ounce of patience in me to not get frustrated.. or cry lol. Thats what I normally do, haha. It seems as though every time I face a situation at work today it takes forever to get resolved. One of my reps, one that Im actually get frustrated with, told me that I had awesome patience today and if he were me he would have strangled him by now.. Good thing we are on a phone and he cant see me rolling my eyes and getting pissed at him lol. Hes a great guy but sometimes no matter what I just cant help them and he cant give me enough information so that i actually can help him. Confusing, yeah.

I had one of the best weekends in a long time though. Actually all of my weekends are great, what am I talkin about lol. I celebrated my bday all weekend long.. awesome! On Friday Dan and I ate dinner and started drinking some wine and hanging out. My sister, Renee and her husband, Justin, Elizabeths friend, Adam, and Journey all came over to start the fun. We hung out for an hour or two then Scott came over and so did my reps JJ and Matt and their gf's. We had a nice little party going. I had called the kareoke taxi bus to come pick us up.. best idea ever. lol It was only like $3 a person to get from my house in Savoy to Guidos downtown... DEAL! We sang some random songs, none that were current but it was a good time. We got to Guidos and met up with a lot of people, mostly Elizabeths friends, and Erica Q and her bf! After a while at Guidos we went to Cowboy Monkey to dance. I think me and Dan danced for like 3 hours. I didnt even go to the bar, I just danced the whole time, it was a lot of fun. We took the kareoke bus back and ended up talking to Renee and Justin at my house until like 3:30 or 4 in the morning. I had an awesome bday, thanks friends! :)

I woke up at like 8 am on Saturday morning, not feeling the greatest and ate some food and then went back to sleep from 11-3 pm... basically the whole day lol. Once I woke up I got ready for dinner. My parents came over and we all went to Red Lobster for dinner. It was amazing. Dan and I shared a dinner, it had crab legs, lobster tails, shrimp, and scallops.. yeah thats why we shared haha. Then we got some soup, salad, and shared an app.. oh yeah and dessert! It was a chocolate chip cookie with molten chocolate on the inside with ice cream. It was sooooo freakin good. After dinner we went to my house to take pictures in the field for Christmas cards... which the guys were not too happy about.. I mean it was ridiculously hot but come on, suck it up! Be thankful that you are alive and well enough to walk out to a field.. haha. (That didnt work when I told them that.) After my parents left I went with Elizabeth to Blind Pig to meet my good friends Shelby and Ericka and their bfs. I used to work with them at Dr Whites office, they are great! Ericka just moved back to IL from Florida and shes going to work at Shelbys office. yay! :)

I ended up only staying 2 hours at the bar and Dan picked me up, it was an easy night out.. didnt even spend any money! Woot woot! !

Yesterday me and Dan went to St. Joe... My mom and I made calzones and tomato tarts for lunch while my dad and Dan drank and hung out in the hot tub. Dan got a lot of sun yesterday, it was a great day for that. They made the hot tub really cool so it felt like a pool, it was awesome! I got some sun too, I can kinda feel it today. We ended up staying until like 5:30 and so I didnt have to make dinner when I got home... score!

All in all it was an awesome weekend. AND tomorrows my bday! :)

Tonight after work Im going to church, I volunteered to help out with the back to school kids thing.. Im a guide. No idea what I will be doing but I hope its easy! I cant wait to get in my bed, Im exhaustedddddd!
