Today's www.questionablecontent.com comic about steampunk amused me.

Today I am thankful for Ben's quick reaction time. I totally was directing him to work, since he was driving me, and I accidentally directed him the wrong way down a one way street. Thankfully we scooted in behind a parked car and avoided collision. God is good!

I look cute today. I'm wearing a cute denim dress that hugs me beautifully with a wide red belt, and grey leggings with my black leather studded boots and a leather jacket. I only mention this because I bought the dress at the thrift store years ago... and I really feel like spending more time in thrift stores lately.

My friend Tamara and I went to see What to Expect when You're Expecting. We quite enjoyed it. I cried twice, which is unusual for me. I also laughed. I enjoyed the characters. Plus it had that Chase guy who plays in Gossip Girl, and the Jessica girl from Twilight. Good times. I'll watch it again, probably with my mom.

We're going to a comedy club tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. It's "comedians with a day job" or something... so amateurs I guess... should be a fun time, plus going out with Ben's siblings is always nice.

So I'm still reading the Vampire Diaries. It sucks, but totally sucked me in anyway. Not as good as HP or even Twilight did... but it'll do for now. I have a few other suggestions I'm going to look into after this. Yay for Young Adults books!

I even got home early enough before Ben to get some cleaning done. The kitchen looks good, I tidied up our bedroom... I'd love to get some stuff hung on the wall in our bedroom... cause it's looking kind of bare... But I have a specific idea... I think I need to just take a day to go around, gather supplies and DIY all up!

Ben and I read the Bible together this morning. Then I chose two verses, wrote them out, and I want to try to memorize them today. I want to try to do this every day... to really get it to sink into my head AND my heart, and to really learn as much as I can, and grow as much as I can. Today's verses are:

Ephesians 4:14-15
"Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church."

God is so good, and I am so blessed by the people around me, and to live in such a place that I am still free to praise God in such ways... though I feel more and more the pressure of the world around me trying to take away such freedoms from me in the name of "tolerance".
