So I went to Lincoln this weekend and helped Phil move for days in a row. It was exhausting yet satisfying. It was really fun to see him and know I was helping him out.
Also, tonight as I got back to Omaha I walked under a spider web that I was pretty sure had a spider on it. Well, I got inside and looked for the spider and sure enough there it was inside my pillow case. Doesn't get much grosser than that does it? The spider was also brown and decent sized. I wonder what it was. Oh the times I wish to be Tracy with her abundance of knowledge!

I don't know what to title this news
Alright, random information about me. In my life I have only ever admitted to thinking one boy band member is cute. I remember telling my friends when I was younger that I didn't know why everyone freaked out about boy bands and n'sync and stuff. So they badgered me until I admitted that at LEAST one of them was cute. I gave in and said that if I had to pick one of the N'sync boys it would be Lance bass. Well, they teased me for the next few years about it. When I left for college they even bought me a Lance Bass poster which I proudly adorned my dorm room with freshman year.
So, here is where the news goes. Yesterday I was watching CNN (I think- maybe it was something else CNN seems unlikely) and I heard that Lance Bass came out of the closet. So my betrothed (as my friends referred to him) prefers men. What an interesting turn of events. I guess that is alright since I am dating someone else. Now I can assume beyond a shadow of a doubt that God has different plans for my life. :)

You know you are bored when...
A) You post on your blog EVERYDAY... sometimes even multiple times a day!!!! Guilty!
B) You spend your time discussing new words for the term D-T-R. Ummmm.... Phil and I have spent probably hours discussing new words for DTR which traditionally stands for define the relationship.
Here are some alternatives we discovered:
D= deter, dehumanize, demolish, demand (this was thanks to me), defer, delay, denude (that was thanks to the wonderful Phil himself), defend, deepen, disorganize, deplete, demotivate, disenfranchise, disband, die, discover, deharmonize
So you can read this: deter the relationship, dehumanize the relationship, demolish the relationship...
Any other thoughts? Watch out this is kind of an addicting exercise.

Amazing Day
I had an absolutely amazing day! I worked out so hard that my arms were shaky for the next couple hours (I biked for a half hour and lifted). Then, I worked on Bible study at Starbucks. I learned today that my favorite Starbucks drink has 440 calories in it. I need to find something new to like there. It wouldn't really be bad if it cost less too.
After this, I talked to Evie. Evie and I still do accountability almost every week but it has been almost 2 months since we chatted. Man, it was so sweet to talk to her. Oh it is so precious to be known and loved. I missed talking to her.
Finally, I went to Bible study and closed the evening by chatting on the phone with an old friend for a while tonight. As far as lazy summer days go, it was A-mazing!
By the way, I saw a spider today that was 4 inches in diameter. It was brown and in a bathroom but it wasn't hairy. I guess if you are going to be that big and a spider it is good not to be hairy. Needless to say I didn't use the bathroom. EWWW!

Ya know you want to!
PS- I have a date tonight in Omaha with one cool dude! Woo woo!

Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!
Did anybody chuckle at the title to this post? I certainly did. I am busy amusing myself as I am posting on this blog.
So the title is true. I am not in Kansas anymore nor do I have the company of 2 Siberian Huskies anymore (they belong to my sister in law and are now safely at her home). This last weekend I made a trip down to ManHappenin (ie- Manhattanm KS)! It was a joy to my heart. I don't know how to fully describe what that trip did for me but it was really refreshing. I actually feel today a lot like I used to feel when I lived in KS and would visit NE for a weekend. I feel loved, content with who I am and what God has for me and just well happy.
Why did I go to KS you might ask? Well, I went because my sister in law and 2 dogs(do not read this as my husband's sister because I dont have a husband- it is my brothers wife) needed a ride home and her home is Ft. Riley (which is essentially Manhattan KS). You see my brother is off in San Antonio for 3 months of dog handling school to be a K-9 MP. He hopes that the change of job in the military will decrease the rick of being sent to Iraq for a third time. I hope he is right. Anyways, since I have a flexible schedule I got asked to take my sil (sister in law) back to KS and I decided while I was there to try to get some support appointments. I got to meet with 4 people for support while I was there. It was really good.
It was an interesting way to go to a city you used to live in though. My number one priority was Whitney (my sil). My number 2 priority was fundraising and my number 3 prority was seeing friends. After I had been there a day it occured to me that I should call friends up and try to see them. Silly Jenny Tricks are for kids!
So that is why I dont think I am in Kansas anymore. Actually I know that I am not. But Kansas is an amazing place in my heart. God was very good to me for sending me there for EDGE and letting me go back and visit this weekend.
I also wanted to let everyone know that my birthday was last month. If you want the exact date email me because I dont really want to post it on the internet. The reason for this random info is: A friend emailed me the other day and told me that she thought my birthday was coming up but was unsure as to when it was. She sited the lack of discussion about a birthday on my blog as proof that she could be off in her memory of when it was. So I thought I would clear that up for any interested parties. I didn't post about it this year she was right.

In a list mood
I want to make a list. So here goes. This is a list of my favorite summer things:
1) Water. I love to see water and swim in it and float on it in a motorized object.
2) Free time in the evenings.
3) Volunteering to do stuff at church.
4) Living with my parents. Connecting with old high school friends.
5) The continual desire to go running which is thwarted quite consistently by the HOT weather.
6) Vacation.
7) Strawberries. Fresh strawberries...yum.
8) My birthday. Yep I like attention.
9) Sitting on my back porch with Jesus.
10) Having cats around.
11) Having shingles. EEEK!

Home from the Holidays
So this weekend I went to a family reunion. A family reunion of which I knew almost no one. That is an interesting experience- let me tell you!
Then last night I went and shot off fireworks with some friends. It was a good time. :)
Not much else to report. I am living in Omaha again so that is exciting. I feel like I have more of a life here.
