New house, new life

It will be two weeks tomorrow that I have lived in my new home!  Time is just FLYING by.  It really is.  The gaps keep growing in between times I write on here!  

Here's a little update for the last few weeks...

Still taking the Financial Peace class (Dave Ramsey) on Monday nites.  It'll be over in a few weeks.  Been learning tons about finances in general, and more specifically about a budget.  It's been hard for me to figure out a budget because of recently moving into a home where I will actually be paying rent, buying my own food, etc.  I've done all that before, but I was blessed to not have those expenses by living with the K's.  

I finally got my Indiana tags and registration for my car!  Yeh, I know, big news!  Well, it was just pretty challenging to get over to the BMV during non-work hours, so I was glad to say the least when I actually got them!    

Celebrated 3 months of dating with Justin last Wednesday!  Yay for that!  God has been so good.  God uses Justin in many ways to humble me and teach me to how to love like He does.  

Sunday was the first day of volunteering with Justin to clean the community center (connected to Faith Baptist).  He's been cleaning there for a couple years, but recently asked me to volunteer with him on the 2nd and 5th Sundays of the month.  It was a blast.  

I've been on a job search since December, and I finally found a job opening this week that I think might actually work out.  It is a case manager position working with Group Homes for Children.  It is an Independent Living case manager, spending time teaching troubled teens basic life skills, as well as help with parent/family interaction. Good pay, and benefits.  Interesting hours, but not horrible.  I had an interview this week, and will probably hear back early next week.  God is the One who brought this into my life, and I'm curious to see what His plans are with this.  

I will be seeing Beth D. get married next weekend!!  Wow!!!  It's already here!  Can't believe it.  I'll be fun to spend time with everyone again.  

God is so gracious in His gifts to us.  He really is.  He provides all we have.  A year ago, there was no thought in my mind that I would be living in Lafayette, IN.  I am content with where God has me.  No, things are not perfect.  But, I am learning so much about trusting God with my circumstances.  

I will update next week about the case manager position!
