New Job

3/23/09

So I am officially employed again and we continued to be amazed at the goodness of God. I was able to get 2 full weeks of great rest and relaxation. I was not planning on taking a break but God knew how badly I needed one.

I enjoyed the rest of the week with Currey. Lots of meals together and time with friends. We were able to run errands and do little things around the house like laundry that had piled up. This last week I was able to spend with my mom. It is always such a treat to spend time with her! We cleaned the apartment, shopped a lot, ate great meals, cooked, talked and laughed. She helped me put together a great new wardrobe as I have to really dress up for my new position. It was sad that she had to leave but we are already looking forward to her next visit! And hopefully my dad gets to come too!

The trip was made even sweeter as the day before she came I was offered a position as a foster care worker. I am really excited to be working for the agency and really believe in the work that they are doing. I started today and it was a treat. I was greeted with donuts and spent the day meeting and reading. I'm looking forward to a new chapter of life in social services. There is a lot to learn but I think I am really going to enjoy the team. Looking forward to a new adventure!

Unemployment Day #1

3/9/09


Last Friday I finished most everything up at work, packed up my desk and hit the road!  There are still a few things to finish up at home but I never have to return to the office.  It's a GREAT feeling!  There are possibilities on the horizon but I will blog about those as they develop.

We continue to be amazed at the goodness of God.  I did not realize when I resigned that this week is Currey's spring break.  We are getting a whole week together and day one has been outstanding.  I got up and was able to work on my Bible study.  I took Gracie to the groomer.  Moose and I got to spend time at the park with Andrea and her precious daughter Nadia.  Currey came home and we watched a movie, picked up Gracie and spent time hanging out with Joe at Wet Nose.  We came home and took a nap, enjoyed dinner and headed to the library for more movies and then to the grocery store.   

The week is full of breakfasts with friends, cooking at home, movies with Currey, reading books, Bible study and coffee dates.  I am thrilled with some time to recuperate and prepare for the next journey that God has in store.
