Contemplating and Possible Posting...
Yesterday my Daddy had a meeting with his Career manager which let him know that he would be promoted (YAY DADDY!) However, When He Came Out and Spoke With One Of His Warrant Officers Told Him He Was Supposed To Be Posted And Promoted. (For All Of You Non-Military Families, Posting Is When You Get Moved To A Different Place.)
Now, This would typically scare me. My Last Posting Experience wasn't un-pleasant, it wasn't exactly my favorite section of my life either. However I really felt a peace about the whole thing and Actually supported it. This Isn't because I Hate Courtenay, I Absolutely love love loveeee my hometown. I plan on retiring here. Its just that, With school wraping up, and the oppertunities that open up with a posting for our family, It just seems to fit. Its like a God thing. the Posting that my Dad would likely receive would be to Cold Lake, Alberta. Tiny Little Po`dunk Town bordering Saskatchewan. However.... Its only 2 and a half Hours from West Ed. POW!
I Guess I Should Make it known that this posting isn`t official yet, It is just a possibility. However all of our family is praying for this opportunity; Or at least me, Campbell and Brandon. It would be such a neat experience.

20 Facts, Goals, Pet Peeves, and Dreams
Well, I Was Supposed to Do This A While Ago, And I've Actually Been Meaning too.. But I've Been Super Busy. And I Also Added 4 Extra Facts.
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 20 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 20 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you, or I know you have nothing better to do.
1. I Love Technology. Pretty Much Everything About It Is Fantastic. Period.
2. I Hate Un-Capitalized Letters At The Beginning Of Words.
3. I Love To Have Fantastic Debates About Things That Amaze Me. Mainly When I'm Winning.
4. My iTunes Library has to be organized. It Drives Me Nuts When This Are Out Of Their Album, Artist, & Don't Have Their Album Artwork.
5. I Love Planners. I Love, Love, Love Them. They Are In My Top Tens With Pens And Bibles.
6. My Dream is to One Day Lead A Worship Team. Although That Would Mean Singing and That Is What's Holding Me Back.
7. I Will Listen to Anything Except Country. It's Just that Simple. I Love Music. Actually, My Musical Tastes Tend To Change Every 6 Months To A Year. Right Now I Really Like The Acoustic Pop and Electronic Pop; Mainly Jason Mraz, Colbie Calliat, and Lights.
8. I Hate Instant Messengers. I Can't believe I Used to Spend Hours On Them. They Are So Pointless, However I Absolutely Love E-mails And Private Messaging.
9. I Hate It When People Judge Me or Tell Me I Can't Or Shouldn't Do Something Because of My Age.
10. I Love School Because I Love To Learn. However, I Hate Timeliness, Deadline and Any Other Kinds Of Lines That Make me Feel Rushed.
11. I Have Random Spurts In Time Where I Cannot Make A Coherent Sentence, Just Ask Samantha Middleton.
12. I Really Dislike Sports, but I Love To Snowboard, Rollerblade, Kayak And Surf.
13. I've Grown Up On A Small Island, And Absolutely Love It. I Don't Ever Want To Leave, Just Travel.
14. I Really Don't Like Being Thought Of As A Girly-Girl, But I Secretly Really Love Jewelery, Dresses, Heels, and Interior Design.
15. My Boyfriend Is The One Person I Feel Safe Telling ANYTHING To. Sometimes I Can't Believe How Lucky I Am To Have Him To Laugh With and Share my Hopes And Dreams.
16. I Am Very Insecure About My Talents.Sometimes I'm Not Even Really Sure What Those Are.
17. I've Only Studied For A Test Twice. Ever. At All.
18. I Don't Really Like Hanging Out With People Alot. I Definitely Need A Fair Bit Of Space And Madison Time.
19. I Really Like One Of My Middle names, But Not The Other, Actually, I Don't Even Know How To Spell The Other One Most Days.
20. I Have So Many Big Dreams And Plans For The Future That I Sometimes Forget About The Here And Now.

Striving For...
Some of you might have notice that I been switching around my blog name a bit in the past couple of days: If you haven't, that's okay I hope you can sleep some tonight.
I finally decided on Cutting my name from "Wired; Striving for a life of continuous worship. to simple "Striving For....." But let me explain a bit first before names are called and rumors spread. I have not changed my name because worship is no longer my passion or because i am a "gutless Pagan". I have simply changed my name because I am striving for more. Not to say that Striving for a life of continuous worship is bad , but with the fresh start of 2009 I want to broaden my horizons.
What exactly am I striving for? Basically, A greater understanding and depth perception of life around me and God's character and heart.How the heck am I going to do this? Well, I've got some tentative ideas and I'm ready for a wild ride!
So that being said, here are my life resolutions (and material Hopes) for 2009:
-TO Establish Regular, Daily devotional times [By the end of 2009]
-Eat Healthily with regular excercise Regime [By Summer 2009]
-Be More Responsible In All Areas Of My Life. Including money, time, actions, words and thoughts.
- The 13 in. Aluminium MacBook, with multi-touch Trackpad.
-Graduate with A's and B's In every class; Including Socials.
-Tithe and up my giving more than ever before.
-Control my tongue more as to learn from what i'm hearing.
-Pray more often, and Pray more boldly
-The Nikon D60 w/AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6G VR Len
-Be More Selfless and to Basically Live with Greater Intention.
