Soul Cravings

•November 8, 2011 • Leave a Comment

I was given this book back in 2008 by a co-worker who saw that I felt completely lost with myself.  I remember I began to read it sometime during the last year of college, but I never finished it.  This morning, I saw it on my bookshelf and thought to myself, “that’s my missing piece..”

What role does God play in my life?  I know he is to play some part in my life but am unsure to what extent.  I am looking forward to begin searching for him again, as I had run away from him a long time ago.

“Beyond my flesh,
beyond my mind,
beyond my heart,
there seems to be a place where my deepest and
most powerful cravings lie.
And they do not lie silently.

My soul, it seems, always desires and demands, and no matter how I try to satisfy it, it always craves more.  No, not more, but something I can’t seem to  understand.

My soul craves, but for what I don’t know.”

I couldn’t describe better how I feel.

today i couldn’t be more happier –i <3 being with him and <3 that he is in my life : )

it all started in the morning when i was just about to leave the house for work.  right next to the door laid a vase of gorgeous flowers and a pastel drawing of the two of us.  i was about in tears when i saw and i ran back in the room to give him a big ol’ hug.  i can’t believe i didn’t see it all morning until i was leaving! :x

when i got home i started to get ready for the night.  i wore this cute little black dress i’ve been waiting to wear from victoria secret, curled my hair, and wore my favorite little 4.5″ heels. he wore his infamous steel grey button up, a horizontal striped cardigan over with a flashly (not really aha) tie.  he looked so adorable –even though he didn’t think i thought so.  (it looked much better when he tucked in his button up!)

we started the night by going to a little park to look at the seattle skyline.  it was SO beautiful! he even had a bottle of wine for us to drink as we sat and looked out.  and we took lots of pictures! :) there were even rose petals all around when i walked out! (although, he wasn’t the one to do it, it definitely added to the moment =P)

then we went to dinner at ruth’s chris steakhouse.  wow! the food was SO delicious.  when we walked in we were led to a decorated table for our anniversary and was greeted with champagne to toast! then we ordered another glass of wine and ordered our dinner.  i got the prime rib and he got the lamb chops.  for a side we got potatoes au gratin.  i can’t even describe how delicious it all was.  mmmm!

then we went on a little adventure to muckleshoot casino for drinks and dancing –and gambling, of course! ;D  we left with what we came with, minus the monies for a few drinks.

this will definitely be a day/night to remember :D

getting settled

whew.. this has definitely been a roller-coaster for me these last handful of months.  here’s a recap of what has gone on.

may: graduated from isu! :D DD
june: moved to chicago (well skokie, but same thing =P) for work
july: visited my baby! XD –and towards the end began looking for another job in seattle
august: continued my search for a job –then WAM BAM BOOM! interviews left and right and whaddya know.. a job offer! :D DD
september: cross-country traveling with my main cuz, talk about a 30+ drive!
october: had my first halloween with him, what a night; of which i will never forget

which brings us to november.  so, i’ve been in seattle now for two months and things are starting to pull together.

  • my commute is awesome (since i am in the reverse traffic) no more bumper-to-bumper traffic for me!
  • i found a carpool buddy, even better since i can sleep on those hour commutes every other day =P. and not to mention the monies i save in gas and tolls
  • projects at work are starting to run to me and i <3 being busy :D

and most of all, i’ve been cooking more!  –well he helps out a lot with that, but man i have no complaints to home cooked dinners.  so much better than going out all the time, although it’s nice to on the weekends!

whew.. i never thought that i’d be here.  well, at least not this soon anyways.  and you know what?  i couldn’t be any happier

:)
