If I was going to back this statement up by providing facts and experiences from my life (which I could!) I would have to write a novel. Sometimes I am just in awe at how much Heavenly Father loves us. At the same time I feel sad and humbled because I still doubt and fear so much and am often ungrateful which hinders me in taking full advantage of the blessings I've been offered.
Alright. So here is a brief rundown of what's new with me.
I finished my job with the Census. Funnily enough I had barely started to enjoy the job and had been told of the likelihood to become promoted to lead interviewer and of the possibility of changing my shifts to more convenient times. I also had gotten a lot of praise for meeting all the goals, criterias and rules that came with the government job by 100%. I only mention this because it was funny that I finally started to accept my lot and then something came up and I had to move on. The story of my life :) Obviously I haven't learned to trust in Heavenly Father and have a positive attitude from the beginning of any project I start. That would make life loads easier.
I started a new job in Logan. I had a lot of concerns about moving and starting a job so far away from friends and family and I was moping and complaining, but then after praying and counseling with people I trust and look up to and who are inspired, I realized that this is an important and needed step in my growth and I started to see the exciting aspects of it. I had my first day today and I loved it. I especially love working with my awesome friend Katie and the other office manager Tom. I will work full time as Receptionist/medical Secretary at Frank O. Harris DMD Dental Office. I will also be trained in Dental Assisting so I can substitute whenever needed. I don't have an apartment yet but I am sure something great will come up and I will enjoy it after a little of transition time. Right now the commute is fairly easy since the weather is excellent.
I still teach piano in Syracuse so I will come down once a week and I am excited to keep up my friendships and to strengthen my family ties. But I am also excited to get involved in Institute and my new Singles Ward and to live on my own. It will be very different but still it will be good!
Dating, well I had some of my best dates yet! Nothing serious so far, but who knows, it can change quickly. I still don't like playing the game and dealing with the drama, but I guess I am learning to accept it for what it is and try to enjoy it and to be myself.
There are some great things ahead, like the births of some little ones in my extended family, marriages in my circle of close friends , fun activities like Stadium of Fire, Bear Lake etc...I have high hopes for the next few months. I will update soon on how everything is going. Adios
This is Logan (Cache Valley)
That was a fabulous Baby Shower for my bestest buddy Mandi. I can't wait for her to be a Mommy, She will be the BEST!!! Thanks Rachel and Melani for putting it on.
This is Rachel, she is so gorgeous!!! She's the Mom of my piano students and my brothers niece and nephew... She is so sweet, I love her lots. I wish my hair would do such great things as hers does :)
