Trusting God that something good is coming > Freaking out about my life.
Feeling a little disenchanted with Anthro < Finding the perfect b-day gift there for my Mom.
Not having any offers on the house < Living in Portland someday.
Having to drive an hour to our new church < Having a church that feels like home, finally.
Being sick with a variety of ailments < Having my overall health.
No physical signs of my return to the gym < Feeling good about my body for the first time in a while.
My hair looks perpetually dirty < My highlights are growing and my natural color is showing more and more.
Not having plans for Halloween < Spending the weekend with my Mom, MIL, Grandma and family friend.
Winter coming < Basketball season starting and bringing my brother to stay with us.
Knowing a lot < Learning a lot.
Being mature < Having a Beauty & the Beast Sing-a-long.
Good friends, like really good > Having connections.
Wearing my Wellies > Sun.
Never being able to buy everything I think I want < Being able to buy these things:

Yay for seeing the good side of everything!

Everything will work itself out, especially with the move to Portland. You are way to awesome for Salem.

I love this post! It's good to put focus on the good things in life, or the things that are going well. I love to know that God always has a better, crazy awesome plan for me than any plan that I could ever come up with.

P.S. I love that Lauren Conrad book. She has a great sense of style, and I've already read it twice. :)

What a great prospect on life! Thinking about moving to Medford, Oregon. Any thoughts on that town?

Annie, I have only been to Medford once. It was lovely! I've heard they have good boutique and antique shopping! And then there's the nearby Shakespeare Festival, which I'm dying to go to!
