New Years 2008

Well this year .... on New Year's Eve - I went out to dinner with a friend. We had a great dinner. Then we went to a double feature movie. The Water Horse, a children's movie, but I really enjoyed it. I think that it would be a great movie for children to see with their parents. Then after we saw The Water Horse - we went to National Treasure Book of Secrets. Yes if you've read my previous posts I did see it before with my family, but honestly it's one that I know that I'll be watching over and over again. History really interests me. Also part of the movie is set in South Dakota, The Black Hills and that is where I went for vacation last year and I'm going back again this year. So that was something that I enjoyed seeing! The next morning I slept in and worked out just had a low key day. I hung out with a different friend on New Years day evening! It was nice and relaxing! I still need to work on getting my Christmas stuff put away this weekend! Is anyone else struggling to get their Christmas decorations put away? I just feel like lately I'm just never home to get anything done! I look forward to the time when I have children so that I'll have a reason to be home all the time. My sister and I were talking about the fact that I can't wait to be a parent, but AJ, EV, and my best friend TK think that since I'm happier than I've ever been before that they are sure that this is my year to meet Mr. Right, fall in love, and get married. Hmmmm... I guess I feel like I've been blessed in my life so much at this point if that were to happen, I'd be excited, however if it doesn't I know that I am blessed and I have friends and family who care about me very very much. I had no idea that my life would change as much as it has in the past 6 months; and I'm excited to imagine and await every day to see what's going to happen next in this wonderful adventure we call life.

A New Job & a New Start for 2008

Whew .... I've waited for quite a while to post about my new job. Today was my last day at the office. For all of you that didn't know I worked for a small company doing customer service, sales and marketing. I worked with my Dad, my sister, and I got to see IV every single day. I never disliked my job, I enjoyed my boss, my fellow employees, and my clients; but I never felt like I was very good at sales. Sales wasn't something that I wanted to do it, kind of fell in my lap and I tried my best to make it happen. I'd been praying since around this time last year for God to show me what path I should be taking and if I was suppose to be doing sales could he make it work, so I'd bring in profits for the company and if it was not suppose to work then God please show me what I should be doing instead. So I kept praying and praying and on the second week of December 2007. I caught wind of a position that was open for property management and administration/project management for a construction company. What's even better - they wanted me for the position! I'm went to interview, and I clicked with everyone there! I had a good discussion about what their goals were and what my goals were and what the job would entail. So after much thought I decided to accept the new position. That was December 14th. I told my Dad that same day. I was very nervous, but it went alright and I know that my Dad understands that this is what is best for me. I'm going to be driving a little bit further to work approx. 10 more miles, but I got my 3 weeks of vacation. What's even better is that I'll be going back to school!! For me that is wonderful because I've always wanted to finish school, but I've always struggled with money and not been able to make it happen. Now I'm going to be going back to school for my new employer. I feel like my prayers have been answered. I prayed to God for him to show me a path and he has done just that! I think that I will be able to start my adoption process as long as this position works out for me! I'm so excited about this because it's the change that I've been waiting for. I feel a little bit sad because I know that I need to wait to make sure this new job works out, which I know is upsetting for my mom, because she thought that I would be applying for my adoption as soon as I started this new position. It's just that since I'm single I want to make sure that I can provide for a child financially before I go ahead and start a process that I don't know if I can finish. I'm also wondering how it will work with a full time job and going to school at the same time. I want to say thanks to all of you who've prayed for me, because I really do feel like this job was an answer to my prayers and al the people who've had me in their prayers.
