New Place!

I finally have internet at my apartment!! (Got it on Friday, woohoo) but for someone reason I still can't connect to the wifi with my phone...bummer, no words with friends for me very often.

ANYWAY, I'm also finally giving you a virtual lil' tour of my new place. :)

See those balls? Yep, made them. Pinterest. <3

Gerber Daisies. :)

Can you spot the pinterest ideas? haha the "it is well..." sign is actually GREEN letters now instead of blue bc I thought it would match better. (and it does. ) That brown blanket is also the softest thing on the planet. :)

My new picture. I'm in love with this!

Pinterest baby. (cardboard + yarn + hot glue =cuteness)

Lil' bathroom.

Matthew 6 pillow made by my best friend! Thanks Christin, it's a great addition to my bed. :)

Of course there is a kitchen too, but right now it's nothing special. Same with the foyer. Once I make them cute I might put pictures of those too. :)

Hope you enjoyed the mini tour!

Hello World!

Hellooo blogger land! :)

I have officially made it to the "other side" of moving..!

Things went mostly pretty smoothly. I had a lot of great family and friends to help, and it went really well.

I am now currently in the Giant super market using their wireless which they have so graciously deemed "free". Thank you Giant.
(only until I get internet at my new place which could take who knows how long.)

Today, I'm planning to relax...whoops I mean, unpack and settle some more.

I'll put some pictures up asap when things look a little nicer and more put together. :)

SO thankful we had a nice day as far as NO rain or snow. THANK YOU GOD!
It was verry cold, but we won't talk about that.

Just wanted to "check in" and let yall know I "made" it to the other side. heh

Here's to unpacking and settling in to my new place. :D
Prayers for comfort always still appreciated.

:)

more mooooving

I now have a mattress and a couch! :) woohoo!

I ended up getting a queen mattress and got a nice deal with a frame too. (just the plain metal kind) It was pretty inexpensive for the quality of the mattress. :D

After work today I went to a furniture store and ended up buying a recliner sofa that was on 60% off clearance because it was a show room model. Great deal on it! and it's super comfy :)
I only hope and pray it will fit on my dad's truck.

Things are starting to come together and I'm getting more and more excited..!!

Also praying for no rain, because that will mess with the plans. Right now it looks like it should be okay.


I haven't had a work update in a while, but it's going sooo well. I love it there.
The longer I'm there, the more I love it. I'm really getting to know the people, and I feel like I help out a lot. (I'm needed, I really am needed.! ;) As well as the staff, of course I've been getting to know the kids better every day.
The staff are even encouraging me in ways that I might be able to get a teaching job which make me feel good inside because they care.

And now I will leave you with a quote from a first grade girl from today:

her"did you know there is such thing as witches?"
me.."there is..??"
her"yeah, one popped out of my toilet last night. I saw it after my brother went to the bathroom"

Oh goshh....

um..moving?

So...about that.

I'm moving in FOUR days.

Holy poop.

I have a feeling that things may take awhile to get situated in my new place.

For example..I still don't have a couch, or a mattress.
I don't have a coffee table.. or a place to put the tv, that I also don't have.

hmm...
I need to figure those things out. Stat.

I did get some kitchen chairs today though. They are used, but I think they're cute!
They are currently occupying the spot next to my bed. awkward.

At least I have a shower curtain right?

Things might be a little patchy at first.

More updates on the move to come!

Habakkuk 3:17-19

This morning I found and read these verses in Habakkuk 3. They were so encouraging and I feel like I will be keeping them in mind these next few days and weeks as I move and begin trying to make connections in this time of such hopelessness that is employment.

¹⁷Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!^(A)

¹⁹The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

I'm pretty excited because I was looking around the area I'll be living to see if there are any walk-in clinic type places where I can get a renewed TB test (a couple of the schools I want to sub in require this within a year.) And I found something that sounds perfect...so here's my plans...ps. these plans have been so up in the air and scattered that I don't think I've really said much about them..

I'm planning to help out a friend move into her dorm for the first time on Thursday. Then on the way back I will get my TB test. I'll be staying with some friends (yes, I'm basically that weird nomad girl) for a couple of nights before I can actually move in to the place I will be staying.

Then...hopefully I can get my test read by Saturday and go to the school's with my info on Monday. (Can't waste anytime, you know)

I found a baby-sitting job that is in the SAME little town that I will be living in also..! I talked with the woman, she's seems so nice, and she said she would let me get myself settled and then we can meet.

Regardless of whether this actually works out or not it was so neat because the timing of it all was such a God thing. She had posted the same day I decided to look (I found her on care.com), she got back to me right away, and we'll be in the same town. Which...in itself is a miracle because it's so small.

Like "Are you from around here, because I didn't recognize your name"..kind of small. I've put it in God's hands though.

In other news...something funky is going on with my laptop keys. First, the "v" key was acting up and sticking, then that was better but the "a" key was stuck...an now that that is unstuck my "d" key is hardly working. I have to like pound at it to make a "d". ha...so if I should be missing a "d" somewhere in this post, you know why.

Has anyone ever experienced this before? I would love a new computer but not really wanting to actually buy said new computer.

:)
