Thankful

via google

So I got the job. I'm moving in a little over a week. I found a place, just looking for a roommate (Katie, the last tenant had a dog so jack would be welcome and there are some OT schools within an hour radius... I checked.)I'm thankful for this opportunity and just feel like God really orchestrated events to get me this job. I had the shortest stint of work at Starbucks maybe known to man. I had worked just over 2 weeks when I put in my 2 weeks notice. Wow, I didn't even have time to have an opinion about the place. I really liked the people. It doesn't hurt when you work with 3 of your friends. I also love sugary, bad-for-me drinks and now I know a lot more that I like at that place. It's also hard to say no to said sugary, bad-for-me drinks when they're free. So I guess it's good for my physique that I am not working there anymore. I'm excited for the next season of life but also nervous because I know myself and not having friends is hard. So I'm hoping all will be well and I'll be okay even if a little lonely.

Happy Thanksgiving week. I'm excited to see all my family and have a few days of rest and not have to wake up at 4:40.

Engagement Photos

Adam came 2 weeks ago and I got one of my friends to take our photos so that we could save some money. I think they turned out very well. I put most of the good ones on Facebook so I don't want to repeat all of them but here are some ones I didn't put up.

We think we're funny.

These laughs are real.

We're getting married. Can you believe it?

Just dancing in the street like that old Mo-town song.

We like to be different and funny. We at least crack ourselves up.

Hope you have a wonderful day. Both Adam and I have interviews today so just pray that God would open up the right doors for us. Also Thanksgiving is only 2 1/2 weeks away. I can't believe it!! I'm so excited to see my family.

Halloween and photo shoots

If you came to Starbucks on Monday, this is what I would have looked like serving your drink or pastry to you. I love holidays. I'm hoping we get to dress up for Thanksgiving and Halloween too. haha.

This Halloween, I went with the Ellsworths to Treats on Main. All the local businesses handed out candy and had fun games for the kids to plain all up and down Main Street. It was so cute. So many awesome costumes that I wish I could have captured to show you all. I saw i phones, a deck of cards (dad-king, mom- queen, baby- joker, other kids- A, 2), pumpkins, and other adorable costumes.

This is who I went with. The cute little puppy and the beautiful Belle.

Sawyer took his costume dressing up very seriously. He was always in character ;)

This was an adorable little clown. I couldn't resist.

My computer finally got fixed (thanks to multiple people and Apple ;) and I finally got to put my pictures from my camera onto my computer. I noticed that Addy has gotten to be my model over the last month a lot more than I realized.

I've wanted to do this picture for a while. I saw the idea off of pintrest.

She was showing me her moves haha

News

I hope to put up pictures of Halloween later this week. Just having trouble since my computer is down and I don't have a card reader. Until then enjoy this picture. Sarah, the other girl who lives in the basement with me, took this photo of me. We had a lot of fun setting this up and taking it. Hopefully, we'll do other fun photo shoots.

My job opportunity called. I have a call conference with the VP of University Relations on Monday at 4. Prayers would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Life

I should be hearing back from a job opportunity today or even tomorrow. I think it's a good opportunity, it's just intimidating to think of moving somewhere totally different by myself. I'll let you guys know. Prayers are always appreciated ;) Until then, I am a morning supervisor at the University's gym and a new Starbucks barista. So much to learn but I work with great people so that is always a plus.

Happy Halloween! and Happy Birthday to my brother-in-law, Henry. I missed yet again the Thriller on Main in town near me. Every year they do the Thriller music video reenactment down main street and I'm sure they have other activities too but I don't know because I always forget about it. I was going to find a picture to represent this but zombies are creepy so I gave up pretty quickly.

Adam came last weekend and we had a friend take our engagement photos. It was good to spend quality time together. I'll post a picture preview later this week when I get them from my friend.

Job Market

Applying for jobs can be so montonous. Each business claims that they're fast-paced and ever growing, oh and would need someone highly organized, with years of experience, and a good sense of humor. I seriously doubt every single business is like that. Sometimes I think they lie just so unsuspecting people will apply and get stuck in the world's most boring job. A lot of jobs I apply for sound down right boring. I literally fell asleep filling out an application the other day. I can't imagine working for said business on a day-to-day basis. I would probably be the most rested person alive. But every once in a while, I find a job opening that sounds so fun and exciting that I start to dream what it would be like to work there. I get my hopes up only to have them dashed upon the rocks of inexperience because that seems to be the only thing employers see in me. What ever happened to giving people a chance to learn, grow and get that experience? I know I could do 95% of the jobs that I apply for without any trouble.

We'll see what the future holds.

7- kinds of lipsticks my friend and I just tried on in a Rite Aid because we wanted to be bold but not too bold, ya know? We ended up getting a pinkish red and are pretty excited to rock that. (we both got the same color but different tubes, we're not sharing it as that last sentence might suggest.)

5- the amount of weeks I've been waiting to hear back from a job interview. (Yes, I have followed up with them so please don't bother asking me that silly question)

4.5- the number of weeks since I've seen Adam in person (only 2 more to go!)

4:45- the time I will have to wake up tomorrow to help a friend out cover a shift at the gym
