Oh hello my little blog!
I’m
sorry it’s been so long. I’ve missed you! I’ve been meaning to write, but
sometimes life gets so dang busy, ya know? Oh, I’m not complaining. I’m loving
this season that I’m in. Let me tell you about it:
I’m
still living in Minneapolis, but now I’ve joined the trendy/cool/hipster kids
that live in Northeast. This is my first time living in a neighborhood…well,
EVER. Born a country girl, and then four years in dorms and apartments, I’m
finally in a house with a yard and neighbors all around. And TREES! Right now
they are red, yellow, orange and beautiful. Em and I were on a pretty carpet of
them on our walk this morning.
I live
with Emily, Jessica, Katie, and a lovebird named Sully. It has been wonderful.
We all get along great (except Em and Sully…they’re working out their
differences.) We live in a house that is very comfortable and inviting, and
many nights people are there for small groups, pirate themed study parties, or
dinner/brinner/coffee/tea. (Soon a Let’s-party-like-it’s-1999/Jessica’s-B-day
party) So much silliness; I love it.
Grad
school has been fine. Honestly, its not much different than my undergrad,
except I care less. Maybe five years is too long to be in school. Or maybe I’m
just ready to start applying the things I’ve been learning about for years. I
may actually get a chance to soon!
This
season of my life has been so busy mainly because on top of school, small group
through Hope, volunteering with Navs, working, and having an awesome social
life, I have been trying to get my boss’s job. Although that sounds conniving,
I assure you it’s not; it was just time for her and her family to start a new
chapter in their lives (great for them, sad for us, so, the group home I work
at is now without a Residential Supervisor BUT we do have a Residential
Supervisor Assistant (me) who would like to step into that role. My company is
very particular about who they let do that job and has pretty intense training
before the position is even offered. Currently, I am in that training. I keep
getting the question, “So, did you get the job? When will you know?” My answer
is always, “Kinda/Sorta/Not yet.” And “I don’t know.” Though this state of
limbo isn’t exactly my most favorite state to be in, it’s good. I’ve come to
terms with the fact that I don’t know, and realized that I don’t need to know;
what I need to do is do my job and do it well. What will be will be.
So
that’s what I’ve been up to, little blog. I am so blessed. Not every day seems
fabulous…but in the middle of craziness I try to remind myself that a) tomorrow
will be better and b) I really am living the dream. My dream at least. Life is
good.
