Procrastination Station

I would place big money on the bet that I am one of the top ten worst procrastinators in the world. I always get all my work done...but it's usually late at night or early in the morning. How does it always happen that right when I need to get something done for school (i.e. read a whole book, write ten papers, study for a midterm, etc., etc.), I remember the 10 million other things I needed to get done (i.e. laundry, dinner, grocery shopping...posting on the blog...etc. etc.)??

Take for example right now. Cody left me two hours ago with the words, "Get all your homework done while I'm gone so we can have a relaxing night together when I get home." That sounds great, right? But...have I done my homework? Absolutely not. Will Cody be home in ten minutes? Absolutely so.

For some reason, God has given me this incredible gift of working best under pressure...but there's got to be another way, right...? Meh, I'll figure it out tomorrow.

We are watching the super bowl and I have to say that I am not very in to it this year. I used to get very excited about it but this year I don't know what it is. Maybe the teams or maybe it is simply that I don't care and I would rather spend my time doing something different like hang out with the wife and play with the dog. Anyways, I want to just inform you that on a scale of 1 to 10 of excitement, I would be a 3 at best.

Life has been very busy for us. We are adjusting to the new living situation well here in downtown Dallas. I never ever thought that I would be living in Dallas, TX of all places. It is funny to think about how the Lord has brought us here. Brittany is in her first semester of seminary at DTS and my work is about 8 minutes away from here. So it works out perfect. We are not the cultured type (I know we need to be), but we are working on it. I know that we have some incredible friends here and have recently began a homegroup with them. Our first 10 months or so of our marriage we were looking for some people to 'do life with.' The Lord has definitely given us that now and I look forward to every Tuesday night now! I do miss Colorado though and my family. Hopefully we can get up there for Brittany's spring break or early summer.

I am excited about our life together and our future. I don't know where and what that entails but we definitely have interests in the global church and really enjoy other cultures (hence Brittany's degree-MA in Cross-Cultural Ministries). Brittany and I would really love to hear how you guys are doing and would ask for your prayers. Life is always interesting but we love it!
