So, how are y'all doin? (saying that makes me miss Nebraska...mmm...) Anywho, I am at home at doing pretty good. The real world is nothing like Caronport, I tell ya that. Being back at work is good, familiar, and oh-so stretching. I think I am the only Christian there. I am trying to spread the news of Christ, but I think that I may be too serious about my job...hmmm... Crystal serious about her job...no..! *shyglanceaway* Ummm...I'd like to make a shout-out to all of my home-g's back in the C-port hangin' out at the A-Bil in the Beanery...=P Anywho, so I am fixing it. I am trying to watch how my face might look to others. I tend to look mad when I get serious about cleaning. Hmm. That and I am trying to say "hi" more often and spread good encouragement sentances around and ask people about thier lives and what's up and all that. My room is getting cleaner and cleaner. I dropped another 3 Boxes of stuff off at Amvets (donation guys that take our stuff and distribute it to the needy for free! How great is that, FREE!) My sis is only going to be around for a few more months, so we are trying to spend more time together, but she has 3 jobs. Time is going to fly by. Trying to savor, trying to savor... School may not happen so quickly. I already have quite a few loans out and my mom co-signed for a private loan, but we got denied. It may be because she has loans she's already paying off also, so I can only get money for about half my tuition costs...so Plan B may have to take place: community college, which has a culinary program and I can probably get it all paid for. We'll see. If that doesn't work, Plan C: work for a year, go to culinary school next year. If not that, Plan D: become a nun, or join the army. Either one will do. I am excited to suffer for the Lord. Not so excited about the actual persecution. But I know that it will make me stronger. I just have to persevere and be diligent, keep my eyes always on Him, and keep praying. You don't realize how difficult that it until you actually have to do it. I had to constantly keep my mind on Jesus. It's really a hardcore conscious effort. Oh He's so good to me. If I were Him and I had no mercy and love, I would have struck me dead 20 years ago when I pulled all of the tupperware out of the cabinets. (Gosh, I don't remember it, but I am sure it was fun!) I love that I can continually plunge myself into His arms and let Him hold me as long as I need it, that I can walk down the street and smile because I know that He is lovingly and adoringly looking down at me (makes me very shy sometimes...it's great), and that He is my everything. I got nothing without Him, y'know. So, yeah. Hmm. Time for bed. Love you my bros and sis's. Keep the Jesus alive!

Yeah, um, make sure that ALL options have been thoroughly thought through before even glancing at plan D. Nothing against the nunnery, I just want you around longer. War does sometimes lead to death.
Maybe you could be an army cook? Yeah, that's it. Crystal the Cook. You could have a show on T.V.
You could wear the camo suit while serving up some lobster.
Yeah, do that.
YESSS!!!!! That's it. I have always wanted to go into the armed forces...but I shall be armed with a spatula and my favorite cast-iron cooking pot! Muhahaha!
