One more week

Tonight, Joe and I went and say the new movie "Julie and Julia". As I was watching this movie I decided that I have not been blogging enough. Once again I am inspired, and chances are that once again I will not stick with this idea. I realized that I am similar to Julie in the story, I become excited about something, stick with it for a couple weeks and then it fades away. Just like this blog. I started it in the hope of keeping all the friends and family updated on the craziness that is our lives, and in the last two months I have only posted two. So here we go again, we shall see what happens.

We are moving in a week, and it hardly seems possible, I am starting to notice all of the things I should have accomplished in my first year of living in on my own in Fresno. All the friends I should have made, the things I wanted to get done, and they didn't happen. This last Monday was my last day of work, and I didn't know it until I got there! Oh well, as I left I didn't cry (although I felt like it), I just walked away. Now everyone needs to understand the importance of this job. I found it by chance and it ended up being a life changing job. Being a nanny, watching a little boy grow over nine months. His stages, and changes. I now that I have grown from the experience both from working with this amazing little boy, but all the parents. They showed me a great relationship and marriage, taught me life lessons, and befriended me. The mom, was not only a boss but a friend, someone I could come to work and talk about the struggles and happiness of my life. I was a lucky individual who would say I loved my job, I loved going to work, and I loved my boss. I was truly blessed.

As I was going through all of these things that were ending I started to think about my new beginnings. I started thinking about all the great opportunities that can come about when God is in the center of the big decisions I am making. Joe and I have so much in front of us, and my melancholic side came out a little bit in looking at the endings. But in the end my sanguine side, of knowing that everything is going to turn out fine is back. There might be allot of struggles, inconveniences, and mountains along the journey ahead, there will be the good times. We will have a great support system in God, each other, and our family around us. Please keep us in our prayers, thanks :) God Bless!

Setting In

So here I am working on packing and getting ready to move in a few weeks, and a suprise happens upon me and my roomates. Our house is going into forcloser, so we have to move, and the plan is to be gone by this weekend! We actually found a house around the corner so thats super convienent. So I am actually doing alot more packing then I was expecting to be at this point. The fact that Joe and I are moving is finally starting to seriously set in.

Other than that there isn't a whole lot going on, Joe and I are working on getting our jobs lined up, and worked out. We could really use all of your prayers, every little bit helps. Life has been really stressful lately. It seems like everything seems to happen so quickly, but we are just staying posivitive remmebering that God has everything under control.

There are a few woman out there who have been personally extremely helpful to me, not just with the current situation but with life in general. I think you should all know who you are, and I just want to say thank you. I love you all and your support, love, and Godly wisdom has been an amazing support system. You all live in different places, and we are all seperated, but I know that you are always there, and are always praying. Thank you for being my best friends, big sisters, and support system

The Plan

Hello everyone, I have never really done alot of blogging so we shall see how often I keep up with this. I am hoping that through this blog everyone will have an idea of all that is going on in not only my life but Joe's as well.

We have officially made the plan to move out to Prescott, AZ on August 25th. I am super excited, but a little nervous. And as the process of getting all our ducks in a row, the realization of what is happening is finally starting to sink in. We have been praying for some time now that God would show us where we are meant to be and AZ seems to be the direction he is pointing us in. Please pray for us that everything that happens is in God's will, and through the struggles we will remember that :).

As for me I am working my way through my third class with Ashford Univeristy. I am loving the school, and learning so many new things, through my Child Development major. All is well, and as of right now I am keeping up with the work, as well as my job.

Joe is still up at the camp, and his last day with August 22nd. He is tired but keeping his spirits high, looking forward to what lay ahead. He is so excited about moving and being close to his family again. Please pray for him that the right job line up, and he sees what God has for his life as well.

Now our plan is quit simple. HAHA I really do not see it staying that way :). Anywho, the plan is to move at the end of the summer. I will finish my Bachelors degree next September, and we will be married sometime that winter. Then hopefully in the spring we will both be going to school. I will be working slowly on my Masters in Special Education, and Joe will be working on being a Medical Technician. And we will get an apartment at some point alone that crazy journey. That is "our" plan, I say it that way mainly because my plan and God's don't always line up, well actually very rarley.

I once heard said, "that if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan!" So I really have no idea what will happen, so I am putting it in God's hands and trying my hardest not to worry to much. We would love it if you could please keep us in your prayers, that God would show us the right road to take. I hope you are having a great summer!
