New Home

Hello from Riverside, California. 

Our new home, or more like our new place of occupancy.

New home is going a bit far, but I’m sure with time it will feel more like home. Your “home” is  your  sanctuary, right? 

California is beautiful. I absolutely love the dry heat, and waking up every day thinking I’m on vacation. My life right now is fairly slow. I wake up in the morning, make Scottie lunch, drive him to school, come home and get stuff done around the house.(I kind of sound like a mom) A lot of time searching for a job, internship and place to attend church. Then around 3 I go pick up Scottie from school and we spend the night making our apartment more like home. Make dinner. Watch a movie and hit the hay around 10pm. YES 10 pm. We have become a married couple officially.   

I was so thankful to find a job yesterday at American Eagle. Originally I hadn’t planned on transferring in from Aerie, but realized after looking for jobs that it was the best bet for right now. I really can only be working part time because I will be carrying an internship along with 8 distance ed credits. When I went in to talk to them on Saturday they were very hesitant to have me transfer and told me to come back on Tuesday (yesterday). I went in and talked to the manager again and they offered me a job on the spot and said they were excited to have me. Random. I learned that they had spoke to my previous manager and she highly recommended me, and also shared that I do a fabulous job in the back room. Ironically, well more like providence, AE’s back room associate had left….ta-da. JOB! I will start next week full time and learn the store better, and then go down to part time when I begin my crazy school schedule. The Lord provided just as He has promised. 

New home means No internet. We are strapped for cash money currently so I’ve been spending a lot of time at Barnes and Noble. Thank you for free Wi-Fi.

Soon I will post pictures of all the current events in my life. Wedding pictures. New Apartment pictures. California pictures. but for now I will leave you with this…..
