About Me

Hello! I am recently married and just trying to get organized and back into the swing of things. For a while, when you're the "bride", it seems like you cease to be a person. You have all sorts of things to get done, deadlines to make, and dresses to squeeze into. Now that it's all said and done, I just want to relax, catch up with old friends, read good books, and learn to cook much more than my staple dish of buffalo chicken lasagna (no matter how good it is!). I am currently reading a book that I can't seem to wrap my mind around. It's called Velvet Elvis. It's written by Rob Bell, the guy who does those NOOMA films. He's brilliant. I don't get him, but I really want to see Jesus in a way similar to the way he does. It's extremely encouraging.I'm convinced being generous is a better way to live. I'm convinced that forgiving people and not carrying around bitterness is a better way to live. I'm convinced that having compassion is a better way to live. I'm convinced that pursuing peace in every situation is a better way to live. I'm convinced that listening to the wisdom of others is a better way to live. I'm convinced that being honest with people is a better way to live. This way of thinking isn't weird or strange. It's simply acknowledging that everybody follows somebody, and I'm trying to follow Jesus.That said, get to know me! ;-) (this layout is from whateverlife.com 8)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I know most of the people who are my friends on here. Just using this as an avenue to keep in touch with those whom I don't get a chance to see often. :)

My Blog

Running

So, I used to think running was pretty much impossible, but my friend Laura and I mastered it today. That's all. I feel pretty good about myself right now. I'm not as out of shape as I sometimes think...

Les Miserables

Those of you who have known me for a reasonable amount of time know that I am an absolute sucker for the musical Les Miserables. Well, I finally got to see the show on Broadway today, and it was amazi...

Two days until I'm Mrs. Dragan

So this is my last day at Bible Factory Outlet before the big day, and there's still so much to do! The store has started opening at 10 am on Sundays instead of the usual 11am, so I camped out here th...

Just a little bit of everything...

I am going back and forth between blogs. I can't make up my mind between Livejournal, Greatestjournal, and myspace. I don't know. I'm just drifting around. I want to update because I feel like it's ne...

Chris Tomlin playing in the background, Jami updating...

I assumed that it would be too busy at the store for me to do anything, but, because of the weather, I am bored to death! I am really hungry and have a Lean Cusine heating up in the back, but it doesn...

Happy Halloween!

Niiice. I'm handing out candy at the store tonight, and I have a very low supply. :( Poor sugar-addicted children.

Rambling... I'm in a rush. I want to go!

I'm waiting for Mark to get back so I can leave. I get really antsy when people are late. I have to go home and get ready so I can meet Brandon at 8:00. We're seeing Tokyo Rose tonight at the Muse. Th...
