UPDATE!!
Wow, it's been a really long time since I've written anything here! I'm pretty sure that no one reads this anymore, but either way I thought it'd be time for an update. Lots of things have changed in my life since my last update, one of the most important things is that I'm going to be an aunt!! That's right, my wonderful sister is pregnant. Well actually she's due in about two months so she's getting very pregnant. She's cute though and I'm soo excited!!! Also there have been lots of changes in my career. In January, Glow decided to do a mass layoff and about 1/3 of the staff was cut, myself included. I ended up getting a job at Power's Dental Group which was nice because it was MUCH closer to my house, however the hours quickly took a toll on me. I may be spoiled, but working till almost 8:00 even a couple times a week was NOT the thing for me. During this time I started seriously praying and searching what God would have me do with my life as far as a career went. I definitely like the idea of being a stay at home mom when my kids are tiny, but what about before and after that precious time?? Well, after much prayer and talking it over with the people most dear to me I decided that I wanted to go back to school to be a teacher. It's something that I've always thought about doing but never really thought was possible. So that's the plan, in August I will officially be a college student! Crazy!! I never took my ACT so I had to do that before applying, and I got the score back today 31 go me!!! Oh, and apparently hiring consultants and doing mass layoffs is a big trend in the dental field because on Friday Powers Dental did the same thing!!! Once again I find myself jobless. However, this time I'm not at all freaking out about it. I have a wonderful peace about it, and some doors have already opened. We will see what happens, but I am fully aware how big God is and that He will take care of me. I've seriously been in awe of how amazing He is lately. Like something different clicked and I'm suddenly struck with the thought of this huge magnificent God taking a genuine and passionate interest in my life. He is so into me that he took the time to plan out my life, and He takes joy in watching me grow. How cool is that? So at this actual moment my life is a bit up in the air, but I have no doubt that it's gonna be so fun come fall. I'm really excited about it. At the beginning of this year, I began praying about 2007 and what it would mean for me. The biggest thing I kept getting was that it was a year of growth....well God certainly wasn't kidding!!
