The end

I have graduated! Yeah!

I started writing this blog in order to keep up with my educational experience, and now that I am done with that I am also done with this blog.

However, Preston and I are going to work together on a new blog to document our journey from here (TN) to there (IL). I believe that the blog will be at http://prestonandkrystal.blogspot.com 

So, if you want to keep up with that journey -- feel free to tag along and enjoy!

Wrapping up

The last couple of weeks have been busy wrapping up final assingments and such. My last class of this program was Tuesday night! Now I just have a final project and final exam next week. It really is crazy how fast this year has gone by. There have been some wonderful and supportive friends through out this time. I am going to miss seeing "the girls" and hanging out with the people from the program. It's been a great year of learning new skills, developing as an individual, and simply completeing a pretty hectic program.

Also...I was inducted into Phi Alpha honors society a few weeks ago (Yay), went to Cherokee with some friends and family and won nothing (not so Yay), Preston's car is dead (really not yay), and I got a small 8 week summer job (Yay)!

Life is grand and God is good....all the time!

Spring time is in the air

Flowers in front of house!

It felt very Spring like today. This beautiful weather makes me look forward to May 6th all the more! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I'm doing, but I look forward to having some more time to be outside, and free!

This past week, I went down to Nashville with a group from school. We met with our representatives and had poster presentation competitions. It was a nice trip and I really enjoy the girls in the program. I will miss hanging out with them. But, I'm also happy to be finishing up...just five more weeks!

"Shatter the Silence, Stop the Violence"

Today I and my sister were in our first 5k race! The race was the Take Back the Night race, helping raise awareness of the need to stop domestic violence.

We just walked in the race, but we walked fast. We finished in 45 minutes, and we finished #163 and #164 out of 248 people! We were happy with that.

They give out awards for the top three in each age group...we barely missed that by a few people ahead of us :) However, we had SO much fun and we totally want to do it again. I would like to jog in a 5k at some point, and I really felt so good today I think I could have jogged most of it....we'll save that for next time. This was a good starter race to see how things go! I'm bummed that I forgot to take a picture with me and my sister....

Onward now to finish up the semester. Five more weeks of classes to go and one more week for finals...that means a total of SIX more weeks till I graduate!!!! I'm very ready to be done with the program and the business of everything. I will be sad to say goodbye to people and to Frontier Health (where I do my internship and where I worked before I started school)! It's crazy to think about all the work that we will have to start doing this summer. Packing, looking for another place to live, finding a job, finding someone to rent our house, and moving. I think once I'm done with school it will really hit me that we are moving to CHICAGO! I've lived in this area now for SEVEN years, and that's a long time for me. I actually do feel like I'm familiar with Elizabethton and Johnson City. I will feel like I'm leaving my home and having to make a new home all over again.....plus, of course, leaving family is always tough.

Well, off to Saturday chores!

This week

This week is Spring Break! Probably the last spring break I will ever have, but that's okay. Spring break as a married adult woman is a bit different, and slightly less excited, than when I was a freshman in college!

But the week has been very nice so far, and it is super nice to have some time off of work and classes. Preston and I have been doing some projects around the house. Of course, he had to work Monday through Wednesday of this week. He will be off for the rest of the week. I think we may go out of town this weekend, which would be fun!

I went to lunch and running around town with my sister yesterday and that was fun! I saw some very pretty material and made a skirt last night. It was fun, and I have never put pockets in a skirt before...so that was fun. Of course the pockets are not exactly even on both sides, but who's looking?

Close up of pocket (?)

Next I need to make a curtain for the back room. Preston put up a  curtain rod there -- we do still need to paint the room too. Always something to do around here!

Now I have to straighten up the house in order to take pictures of the house. There is a couple we know that may be interested in renting and they asked to see pictures. Kind of weird to think someone would be living here instead of us, but it would be a super great blessing if that happened!

This is a picture (to the right) of three guys and spouses who will be interning in various places this coming year! We were all very excited that all three guys got a placement.

Good times, 

Krystal V. 

Da Bears!

Well, Preston and I found out where we will be headed in a few months....Chicago, IL.

We are so very grateful to the Lord for his blessings and we are grateful that Preston got an internship. Today's high in Tennessee is 58 degrees and in Chicago the high temp. is like 38 degrees...with snow. The cold weather is not so exciting to me, but the adventure that we will have is going to be fun!

We wanted the box to say
Lil' Chicago Pizzaria, but it didn't
It was a good pizza...and deep dish!

Last night we ordered a pizza from a place in town called "Little Chicago Pizzaria". We got a deep dish pizza -- you know -- Chicago style pizza -- to celebrate! Tonight we are going to a friends house for a little party with the three guys going on internship this year.

The program had three candidates seeking internships this year, and all three of them were accepted to a placement! This is so great for the psychology program and it will help them with their accreditation! Everyone in their program is excited for them and it was fun reading all the emails Preston received from his professors and directors and stuff!

As for me, now I'm looking for jobs in Chicago! First, I have to finish my Master's program. :) My big culminating exam thing is due this Monday....which will be a relief to get out of the way! I'm pretty much done with it, just need read over things again and add a few details here and there!

Then we have spring break in a couple of weeks. Preston and I have contemplated going up to Chicago for a few days just to look around the city and figure out where we might want to live and stuff. Also, we need practice (or help) with the Metro system and figuring out where all the "lines" go. We looked at that last night and it was kind of intimidating! It will be fun though.

So, thanks to all those out there supporting and praying for us! God is good....all the time!

Chicago bound,

One long week

I feel like I have been "off" this semester. I'm slightly unmotivated to do my school work, but I'm really enjoying my internship - so that's good! There has yet to be one full week that I have done everything I'm supposed to do exactly the way I'm supposed to do it. I don't know if that makes sense. But we are approaching the fourth week of school....and there have been classes canceled, or online classes meeting, or I've missed a class or missed some work, and I've been at the hospital four out of five mornings this past week. It's just been off so far, and I think it's wearing on me. I'm kind of ready to get in gear; however...

...Preston's grandmother is not doing so well, which has had us at the hospital a lot this past week. It is a very sad time when you see someone you love grieving. Watching some one die brings up interesting conversations with people. It has been a good, emotional, and long week for the Visser/Waterbury families. Even with my salad box (which I still love) we have been eating out more (often at the hospital cafeteria) which has been a bummer to eat unhealthily....but a few weeks off my healthy kick is okay, right?

On top of that MANY of the family members are sick, including Preston. He has been feeling groggy for the last few days. Now he has a slight cough, achy body, and he feels weak -- but no fever. He went to bed at 8:00 tonight...poor guy. It seems like a lack of good sleep and the intense emotions of the week has been wearing on him and the family.

It's nearing midnight. I need to go to bed. I did not have anything to say but just wanted to post on my blog b/c it's been a few weeks!

Goodnight :)
Krystal

One week down.....many more to come!

So, the first week of classes is over! Just 15 more to go. :)

The first week went smoothly and I even had some time for a yoga class! I am grateful that I was able to get up on time, work out, eat healthy, spend time with the Lord and feel good during the days. However, it still seems that I'm always running late...just something I need to work on...by not doing things like writing in my blog!

Preston was gone Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, which had me here alone a lot, but now he is done with traveling. Yipee! And this week will be more normal than last week - I hope. Here is a picture of Preston (I stole it from Brenda's blog). This was taken when he was in Utah in his interview attire.


Life is going well for us right now. I have a new bird feeder and I think I'm going to have hang it somewhere else because no birds are coming to it, and I think it is because there are no trees around it (random thought)!

Steelers and the Green Bay Packers are going to the Superbowl in two weeks! Strange because my sister and her husband are big Packer fans and of course all the Vissers are HUGE Steelers fans! Family feud I see coming..........just kidding! It should be a good game...as long as the Steelers win!

Off to school I go!

GO STEELERS!!!!! 

January 17th, 2011

Today is my last day of freedom! :)

My official full time schedule begins tomorrow at 8:30am, and then I get super busy. I like it though. Its nice to be busy and I enjoy the program. I am looking forward to May and being finished with the Master's program. Depending on what happens with Preston I don't know if I will try to work directly out of the program, or if we do end up moving, will I wait till the end of summer to look for a job out of state? Of course not having some kind of job or something to do in the summer would drive me a little crazy....maybe that would free up my time to be busy with other fun things like volunteering or hobbies etc....I don't know...I actually have no idea. Just one day at a time, right?

So today I have a lot to do, including cleaning out the fridge. Something stinks really bad in there and I can not figure out what..but that needs to be cleared up pronto! I need to get all my things organized for the semester, clean the house some, get the laundry finished, and prep a new salad box for the upcoming week!

Preston left this morning for Kansas and he will be back around midnight on Tuesday night. He will then leave Thursday morning for Michigan and be back on Saturday morning. Then the traveling is done and we wait for February 25th!

We've had a fun time traveling thus far, and the opportunities that Preston has are really great training experiences. It is an exciting time, but the thought of moving all our junk does not sound very appealing to me right now! Anyway, we'll see what the Lord has for us this coming year and move forward as He plans.

I'm not very insightful today or having anything exciting to say. I just wanted to type in one more post before the semester got started, because I may not get around to it again for a while. I hope not, but that may happen.

Peace....Krystal

The journey begins

Preston will have his first interview on this Tuesday, January 4th. Tomorrow he and I will drive down to Memphis and stay the night. When he is finished with the interview on Tues. we will drive back home (late).

THEN we both work on Wednesday AND Thursday he will drive himself to the airport in Charlotte, NC and fly to Utah. His interview there is on Friday. He will stay with some family friends, which is a blessing, and he will return Saturday night.

ONLY to have to travel again on the following Monday to Hazard, KY. He will just drive there that morning and come back after the interview. Hazard is only 3 hours away.

That same week, on Thursday, he and I will drive up to Chicago for his interview on that Friday. We should be back on Saturday night...only for him to leave again for two more interviews the next week!

It's going to be crazy, especially for him, but there will be a lot of times this month that he will not be home.

Prayers are always welcomed for safe travels, great interviews, and that the Lord leads Preston (and I) when making placement choices...and that the Lord provides Preston with and internship this year!

Blessings,
Krystal V.

Putting away the juicer and enjoying my salad box!

In January of 2007 I started juicing and making juice for Preston too. So it has been three good years of juicing; however, for the first time in three years I'm actually putting away my juicer.

With our schedules right now it is a lot of work for me to keep up with juicing every day, and I know that there are other healthy things that Preston and I could be doing to help us rather than just juice. Having it on the counter stresses me out some and makes me feel bad that we are not juicing. But, I realized that we would juice and then eat all cooked foods the rest of the day. Or drink our juice but eat poorly...instead of salads or foods cooked with good veggies....and everything loaded with cheese. I know that Preston and I can incorporate more salads into our diets and use less cheese or low fat cheese to be healthier people.

I plan to not worry about juicing at least until May, when I graduate. After that I hope to pull it back out and juice again. Juicing is a great way to get nutrients into your body, and we really like the way carrot and spinach taste. For now we will stick to our green drink, fiber mix, vitamins, and healthier meals! It does make me feel a little weird, but I've come to terms with putting juicing on hold for a little while....not forever!

One thing that I've mentioned before is the salad box idea from Hallelujah Acres. It has worked wonderfully thus far. It's nice because I can say "lets have a salad for lunch" and pull out my big box, and there is everything I need. It even makes a difference having everything in one box, and not having to drag each individual container out of the fridge and open all the tops. The big box is a great tool! AND...it makes it easy for when you want to add some veggies to a meal. They are already chopped up! I made some omelets the other morning and wanted to add some veggies. So, I pulled out the salad box and sauteed some cauliflower, onions, broccoli, tomatoes, squash, carrots and corn. It was so easy to add veggies to the omelet, having everything pre-chopped and ready to go!

Also, if I'm a little hungry for a snack, it's easy to pull out the salad box and munch on some veggies! Here is a picture of what my salad box looks like:

I keep individual lids on things like the onions or the olives (cause of the smell and/or juice). My salad box does not have room for the dressings and the cheese, which is fine. I've been keeping the lid off the mixed greens and putting paper towels over the mixed green to help keep them fresh. 

I was able to use little containers that I already had, and the only purchase I made was the big clear box with a lid. It was a well worth investment, in my opinion. I hope to keep it up, and hopefully you can enjoy your own salad box too! 

Salad box with big lid closed!

Healthy wishes,
Krystal

Some holiday pictures

My parents and their fluffy dog, Sophie Ann

Candace, my sister, and I

It snowed a lot for the Christmas weekend! 

We thought Corky might like to experience the snow...

...but he didn't care too much for it :) 

The Visser side of the family draws names for Christmas time, and Preston drew Brittany's name. He made her a beautiful coat rack, shown here, and another smaller one for the kids coats! Very nice!!

Preston made me this gorgeous spice rack!!

I Hope everyone has a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

At home making salad

It is SO nice being at home as much as I am now that school is on break. I look forward to the day when I am a stay at home mom and figuring out schedules to get home things done while caring for the children. :)

It's nice to have the time to prepare healthy meals and not feel rushed. I really enjoy cooking and it is fun for me to cook things that I know are good for our bodies! Today I did get all the ingredients to put in my "salad box", and I took that time to chop every thing up. Sometimes its hard to think of things to go into a salad and so the following are the items that I put in there to then create salads with ease:

-Carrots, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, zucchini, corn, peas, onions, avocado, celery, green pepper, olives, and tomatoes. I also have containers with craisons, walnuts, pecans, and chow mein noodles. I also need to cook some chicken and cut it into pieces to have for salads.

I find that eating salads is a great thing for the body and nice way to get a lot of good raw veggies into a meal. I know that some of the vegetables work hard toward digestion and so having some meat in the salad or eating a salad with some cooked foods is a good idea every once in a while. Too much raw food will make your spleen go crazy, but having a salad for lunch every day will make you feel good....just add some chicken to it every once in a while, or make sure to have a cooked dinner!

Well, I should be off to cooking...I'm making a Lentil, Apple, Walnut loaf and some steamed veggies for dinner tonight. Yum!

Kombu....

Well, today has been a great and productive day, which always make ya feel nice, right? Preston had the day off from work due to the weather, and so we went around Johnson City running errands together. Then we stopped and got some food from a great place Yamotos!

We came home and got a nap. Nice! Then I cleaned out my cabinets, fridge, and microwave. I feel good about that progress...also got the laundry done. AND -- Preston started working on a spice rack for me, which I'm very excited about!

Tomorrow I think I want to get some touch up painting done, write thank you cards, prep for my next sewing project, and spend some quality time working on my new year goals. I also need to go grocery shopping. I cleaned out my veggie draw in the fridge so it is now ready for new fresh veggies. I'm going to go ahead and cut/chop/dice/shred the veggies and things to go in little Tupperware containers I have. That way it will be easy to put a salad together.

One thing I bought today was Kombu. It is a sea plant that you can add to grains, soups, sauces, and legumes during the cooking process. Kombu is an alkalizing mineral with high iodine and iron. If you put in a small piece with what you are cooking it "reconstitutes and releases its nutrients into the cooking liquid that is then absorbed by your food." It is also a good source to help tenderize legumes and reduce their gaseous properties. There are some soups that I want to make and I'll add just a thumb nail size piece into the stock.

You can also put in a large piece into some water...let it boil...and then you have a Kumbo base for a soup!

Life is good. We had a wonderful/different Christmas this year. The snow kind of through off plans. Preston and I were unable to get to the Visser Christmas in time to see everyone, which was a bummer. However, it was nice that we finally made it and we stayed there really late playing games, which was a lot of fun.

My parents were in town. We also went to a Christmas Eve service with my sister and her husband, which was nice. We did our usual Christmas Eve pizza with my parents, and had a great Holiday weekend!

Television, regrets, and a new year!

Television. I heard on the radio that now people spend more time online than they do watching TV. I believe that, because we don't even have cable TV or the box thing - we only have the internet; however, we get the news and TV shows and we can watch movies on the internet, and so we really don't need a TV.

There are some shows that I watch on a regular basis, which I can get on hulu.com or netflix.com. My favorite TV show is The Biggest Loser (AMAZING), and then I like Parenthood, Being Erica, Project Runway, and any cooking show. Those are really the only shows I watch by myself, and I only watch them while I'm doing something else, like sewing, folding clothes, or cooking. I rarely just sit down and watch a show just to watch it. BUT, there are two shows that Preston and I are currently watching -- 24 and King of the Hill. When we eat dinner we often watch a show, and it's one of those two.

I say all this because I've been thinking about the show Being Erica. It's just a cute little show about a girl who gets to go back in time and work through some of her life regrets. She's 32, single, and struggling in many areas of her life. It's cute, and the therapist in the show is always throwing out cool quotes.

The show makes me think of regrets. I've been thinking that I do not really live with regrets. I do live with moments I might have done things differently, but I recognize that everything that has happened in my life has made me who I am today, the good, the bad and the ugly/pretty! I'm just not sure that focusing on regrets really does help, unless you look back and are able to learn from your mistakes, move on, and put the past behind you.

Yes, there are things in my life that have been lessons for me, and I would counsel others not to do; however, living as if it were a regret would be stressful and sad.

God works all things out for the good of those who love Him, and though we may have deviated from His perfect will for our lives, if we are His children, we have never deviated away from His desire to us living an abundant life. So, learn from the past, live in the moment, and plan for the future.

Live in the moment. That would be a lesson that I have learned in the last couple of years. If I am spending time with someone, but I am thinking about someone else or a problem that is irrelevant to that moment - I miss out. It is important to focus on what is in front of you, and treasure that experience right there and then. After that you can deal with what you need to, but don't get wrapped up in worry that you miss what is in front of you.

I like to read. Right now I am reading a few books, one being the short stories of Ernest Hemingway. When I read his work, I am amazed at how writers can word thoughts and ideas so eloquently. Hemingway writes in such a way that I can picture the whole scene very clearly. Maybe after years of piddling on a blog I will be able to express myself a little more clearly, allowing readers to understand what I am trying to say! :)

Anyway, I think I'm going to write a post about my goals for 2011 - NOT resolutions, because those are often overwhelming, but goals -- things to work towards -- not to change instantly over night and keep up for a whole year -- resulting in failure!

Peace out

Krystal

Pushing my buttons!

So...something new: Blogs have buttons, which anyone reading this probably knows by now. However, I did not know this until my SIL told me about these button things.

If you have a button for your blog then people can put that button on their blog. People will then see the blogs that you follow. So, you grab people's buttons and put them on your blog. Therefore, I should grab some buttons so you - the reader - can see what I like to read! I don't know if that makes any sense, but I spent a while this morning with this button thing and could not get it to work. After taking a break (and having a very productive day) I came back to it this evening and figured it out. BUT, I'm not really sure that I'm happy with the button I created.

My blog is all about me...no real theme and I change the background of my blog often. So, I was not sure what to use for my button. I think I will just leave it as is for now......and YOU should grab onto my button and put it into your blog.

All you have to do is copy the html code (wierd letters/numbers) that are underneath my button. Then go to "DESIGN" where you edit your blog page. Click on the "add gadget" and then scroll down to the HTML choice. Once you have that opened just paste the html information into the box. You can insert the title "Blogs that I follow" -- and go grab other people's buttons too!!

Blogging is fun...I think,
Krystal

What does the future hold?

Just a quick update on Preston's status. He has applied to 15 internship sites across the U.S. and he has been invited to 7 interview places. January will be full of interviews:

1. January 4th - Memphis, TN...we're driving and I get to go with him here
2. January 7th - Provo, Utah...he's flying here

3. January 10th - Hazard, KY...this is the closest one...3 hours away

4. January 14th - Chicago, IL...we are both driving here

5. January 18th - Somewhere in Kansas...he will be driving here alone

6. January 21st - Grand Rapids, Michigan...he will be driving here alone

7. Date unsure - Big Stone Gap, VA (also fairly close)

He has to submit his top choices by February 9th....then MATCH DAY is on February 25th. On that day he will be told if he was matched with any of the places. It's kind of a nervous process to go through!

His top three choices are Chicago, Provo, and Grand Rapids. A couple of those are Christian based and he really is ready to incorporate his believes into his practice.

We are praying for God's hand of guidance as Preston interviews and that the Lord work on both ends for there to be the best placement made. We trust in the Lord with all our hearts that He is in control....and if Preston does not get placed then we will stay around here for another year... happily....Preston will keep working on his dissertation and apply again next year!

Christmas Break???

So today, Saturday December 18th, officially kicks off my Christmas break. I'm finished with all assignments and internship things. I still have to work at my part time job but most of that I can do from home, which is wonderful.

Also, we have a Cumulative Exam (CE) that takes place of us having to do a thesis to graduate. So, it's like this really big essay type thing...but it's take home. So, we got the exam yesterday and it is due before Spring break. Even though I do not want to work on the exam over the break...I know that I'm going to. Next semester is going to be BUSY and so I want to get a big chunk of the CE done and not have to try to cram it into my schedule next semester!

Also over the break there is..

-staining to be done

-touch up paint

-fun sewing projects

-cooking

-reading

-relaxing

...that needs to be done! :)

Just not having school work, classes, deadlines, internship etc. makes a big difference. My to do list is now things that I want to get accomplished...oh yeah there is also organizing. I have these two cabinets in my kitchen that have become a little chaotic. I want to clean those out too!

It will be great!!!!!!! Probably by January 17thish I will be ready to go back for another round. Just one more semester.

Life is good....and God is Great!

Bags for the girls

I often make Christmas gifts for Preston’s younger sisters. This year I am making them small messenger type bags. They are not perfect but I am really enjoying the process. I find it very fun and rewarding making bags…and my head is always full of new bag ideas. So, here is a pic of my work space:

When you open the flap there are two pockets in the front and a zipper pocket on the top:

I still have one more bag to put together and it will be purple.

It’s fun and I’m learning a lot about sewing. That is a fun thing about projects…you always learn something new! For instance, I learned about making the zipper at the top where it wraps around a corner…I’d never done that before.

And it gives you a neat look on top of the bag

When I’m finished with those bags I have a purse that I want to make…I’ll probably do that after Christmas, and then I want to make me a larger messenger bag at some point.

I’m also working with my sister-in-laws on a handmade family tree wall hanging thing…which has been fun…and you can read about that on Meagan’s blog!

Fun times with sewing!

Cool Stuff!!

Well, this week has been very good (not great but good)! I have been more disciplined in my workouts and I have been getting up in the mornings on time! :) I have also been spending time in prayer and reading the Bible (b/c I wake up when I'm supposed to and have some time). Of course, still much work to do as far as leading a disciplined life...one day at a time!

A few things that really spoke to me this week:

1. Colossians 1:24 "Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind the
afflictions of Christ"

I am no great scholar but I did look up more about this scripture and read through my devotional about this scripture and it is jammed full of great insight and information! When we tell others about the power of Christ, the redemption story, and we share only what He has done in our lives we are missing out on a great point. We are not sharing the "revelations of Jesus" -- therefore, the Spirit of God is held back in ministry because those listening are only gaining a better "spiritual culture" and not experiencing the power of Christ.

I know that I do have a tendency to share about Christ with others from my own personal experience of what He has done for me/to me. I do not share what Jesus actually did and His actual story. Hmm....

Also, noted is that when we look at a person's personality or words of wisdom or outer appearance we are not able to see that person the way Christ sees them. We get tangled up in their fleshness. In order to see them as Christ does we must look deeper at their Christ like characteristics. Some personalities will not mesh very well, but if we are sisters/brothers in Christ then we must learn to look past those flesh difference and acknowledge the heart, the motivation, and those things which each other do for Christ and like Christ! That spoke a lot to me, and really gave me a new perspective on the way I look at people, especially those who I clash with!

Then too...this scripture is written by Paul. He is saying here that he is rejoicing in his own sufferings for the sake of others because of the afflictions of Christ. Because Christ came and was afflicted for the church -- Christ then rose from the dead and is in Heaven -- the task of suffering was left to those on earth -- the church. So, Paul rejoicing because he is advancing the gospel. He is picking up where Christ left off (sort of). Christ charged us with the same role. We are His disciples and we are to also suffer for the generations that are to come. For our children - we are to stand up for the gospel so that the Word remains - and on and on. Cool stuff! :)

2. Another devotional I read this week was from I Thessalonians 3:2 "Fellow laborer in the gospel of Christ" -- and I quote "If you seek great things for yourself - God has called me for this and that; you are putting a barrier to God's use of you. As long as you have a personal interested in your own character...you cannot get through identification with God's interest."

Also, "God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say - Lord, this gives me such heartache. To talk in this way makes me a clog. When I stop telling God what I want, He can catch me up for what he wants without let or hindrance. He can crumple me up or exalt me, He can do anything He chooses."

Again...cool stuff...that spoke to me this week and I wanted to share in my blog. Okay...off to work again!

Peace.
Krystal

P.S. Click here to listen to Chris Sligh's song -- another "cool stuff" moment. I really like this song and it was great to listen to the 100 times 88.3 played it this week :)
