Time to Breathe

I can finally breathe again...for several reasons.

The busy season is officially OVER! I have loved it, hated it, then loved it all over again.  As I sat at the BCS National Championship Game, my feelings of exhaustion were swept away with the realization that I had a hand in bringing all of this together..and it was worth every minute of hard work it took to get to that moment.  I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that fact that there were days where only Jesus and Starbuck's helped me make it through the day, but as I sit on the other side, I can truthfully say I have loved this experience.

A blog with the gory...I mean glamorous...details of triple hosting bowl games, coordinating the 2,000 participants from the more than 90 units in the 40th Annual Fiesta Bowl Parade, getting instructions and credentials to more than 400 parade volunteers, meeting with caterers, vendors, and committees, collecting TV script information, organizing my Fiesta Bowl and BCS Championship game day volunteers, and planning an outdoor Parade VIP party for 1,000 people will be forthcoming.  Not to mention a last minute trip to Houston for a job interview.

Today, I will be taking it easy.  Thanks, and Gig Em.

Honestly

I'm a pretty honest person. When I was in elementary school, the teachers at my private school picked a character trait that they thought described each child in their class each year. It was a trait they saw in the child, and they gave our parents a certificate with our name and our chosen character trait. I have four character trait certificates. Three years I received "Honesty." The fourth year I mixed it up a little: "Truthfulness." That being said, I need to be honest for a minute. I think I have a problem with honesty. I know! I was surprised, too, when I realized it. But it's not what you think. So before you start trying to figure out what lies I may have told you, let me explain. You know how you can look back and realize something that happened to you would teach you a lesson one day? There are several moments in my life that helped come to the realization that my elementary school certificates might be invalid... Texas, Fall 2008...

All I Really Want is to be Found

I have done all the right things for all the wrong reasons I have been here before, it seems like time and time again I keep trying to find life in the places life's not found I'm recessitating old flames without thoughts of getting burned It is possible that I Could ever get it right There is nowhere else to go There is no one else to run to All around is quickly fading All I know is You've always been there Always been there, you've always been there Always been there I have seen all the endings to all my sad stories And they leave me alone, everytime its just the same You have fully accepted me with my failures Through the cross of my King, it's your mercy and your grace Is it possible that I Could finally get it right Yesterday has come and gone Everything I thought I had was wrong All I really want is to be found This is what I know, I have nowhere else to go - I have no one else to run to All around is quickly fading - All I have is...
