Long time

Well Friends, I am sorry I have not written in a while. I have no Internet so it makes it hard to write on a daily basis. Not much going on here in L-burg. I went to one of my best friends weddings last weekend and it was a blast. She was beautiful, it was a fun wedding, and I got to hang out with old friends. This weekend I am going to Atlanta for another wedding, so that should be fun! I still have no job. I've had lots of interviews but no one wants me. I hate that. I have tried to keep my spirits up but seriously, if I don't get a job soon I will have no money left. I keep praying that God brings me the right job at the right time but it is so hard feeling worthless, and feeling like no one wants you. I have the education but I have 0 experience so that sucks!!!

As for everything else.....I am co-leading a small group and we had our first meeting last night. I am excited to see where the Lord will take the 5 of us these next 8 weeks. Other than that nothing is going on. I hope you all are doing well! Thanks for reading :)

Labor Day

Last night we drove to Roanoke to go to the White's house for the holiday. We got here and played with the kids, ate dinner and then watched a movie. Today we woke up, made a good breakfast and babysat the kids while the White's went to the church to send some volunteers to Mississippi to help people in the hurricane. I think in a few hours we are going to cookout and then Dina and I are going to the mall to see if there are any really good sales at Valley View. After that I think we are heading home. Tomorrow I want to contact some places about jobs. I am really bored and tired of not working so hopefully soon I will get something! Well that is about all the excitement that is going on in my life. As you can see nothing much! I am going to try to enjoy Labor Day so talk to you all later! Have a great day!!!

So I am all moved into my new apartment. It has its perks and its downfalls but it will do for now. It is 10 miles from the highway and is tucked away in the country so that is something that I am not used to. I have been used to being close to everything and now being further out is something very different. It is quiet which is good, and the landlord is nice. The carpentry of the house is horrible, and we have no dishwasher and now drawers in the kitchen. I also have mold in my closet! :( ew! But it is month to month and is really cheap so I guess I can deal with all the downfalls. I have no Internet which makes things hard in that area. I have been utilizing Panera Bread's free wi fi for the time being. I do love my queen sized bed! After sleeping on a cot for two plus months it is so nice to have all my stuff and have a nice big bed to sleep in!

Today I am babysitting again, and then tonight my friends are having a cookout at their house which will be a lot of fun. Tomorrow is church, and we may be going to Roanoke to spend the night and will be celebrating Labor day at the beautiful Smith Mt. Lake! So the weekend looks very fun, and hopefully this week I can get a full time job! Continue to pray for that! Other than moving nothing much has been going on. I will fill you in on more later.

No Internet

Hey friends, so I moved into my new apartment yesterday and we have no internet so I will have to be going to places with free wifi for a while. So if you see that I have not updated that is the reason! I will be back on soon to tell you about my new place and all that is going on. Thanks friends!

So yesterday we wanted to move into our new apartment but didn't have a truck or Uhaul, so we filled out applications, took some to places and then met with a girl that does AMAZING photography. It was sooo good to meet with her, ask her questions, and get some tips for the wedding I will be doing in a few weeks. Then I went to the mall to look at camera stuff at Ritz, then Dina and I went to our friends Tim and Colleen's house for dinner. It was a lot of fun, they had fajitas which were amazing, we caught up and then had a yummy dinner. So that was fun!

Today I babysat a 4 month old girl. She was pretty good, she is getting a tooth already and was a little cranky but did a good job. I went to lunch with my sister which was good, and then came back to MJ's till the baby's mom came to pick her up. Tonight I was going to babysit again, but it got canceled so I am not sure what the night will hold. HOPEFULLY Uhaul will call us today and we will be able to move tomorrow! I am sooooo ready to have my own place and not live out of my suitcases! Continue to pray for a job! I don't even know what to do and I know the Lord will provide for me! Well.....I am going to go for now. I have had a headache all day so I might lay down.

Nice weekend

So today I went to church. It was a good service about serving in the local church, and I have signed up to work on host teams again which I am VERY excited about! I also signed up to be in a new small group, we will have 4 "classes" and then by October I should be in a new one. I am nervous and excited all at the same time but I love Brentwood and am so glad to be back!

I spent the weekend in Roanoke which is always fun! Friday after visiting my friends in DLP I packed up and we drove to Roanoke. Dina's family is out of town but let us stay at their house for the night. We went to my favorite restaurant Carrabba's for dinner which as always was amazing, and then we went back to the house to watch movies. Saturday we got up, went downtown to the Mill Mountain Coffee shop, and then walked around the farmers market. It is always fun to do that and see all the local talent and produce. Then we headed to the mall where Old Navy was having and amazing sale, and then I went to my favorite store Charlotte Ruse where I got a couple shirts on sale! So that was fun, then we headed back to the burg where we met MJ and went back to her place to watch a movie. Overall it was a fun weekend. Hopefully tomorrow we can move into our new place. It is not the most ideal place but for now it will do. For some reason I am really nervous about everything. I hate that my life is still in limbo right now and that I do not have a plan. I like routine and I cannot wait to have one! I will hopefully be joining the gym this week, and then getting settled into the apartment and hopefully will find a job this week or next. Well I am going to go buy a paper and hopefully see some job adds in there!

Nothing much

So, since I have been back I have to say I am not motivated which is not good. My bank account is dwindling, and I NEED a job or two actually but a lot has happened the past few weeks that has emotionally drained me. Not saying I am "depressed" but I just do not feel like doing much of anything. Last night I stayed up till 1am talking and this morning felt like a truck hit me. MJ (my friend who I am staying w/ at the moment) woke up this morning and went to Wal-Mart to get stuff to make breakfast this morning so we all had a nice hearty breakfast. Then we are trying to plan her wedding and spent some time looking stuff up online about having a backyard wedding, and now I am here. I had expectations for the day but each day seems harder to care. I know the Lord has a plan and a direction for me but I just still feel lost! Well...tonight me and my friend Amber are going to one of my favorite spots Panera Bread for dinner and to catch up so that should be a lot of fun. Tomorrow I have a Dr's appointment but other than that not much else going on. I might go to Roanoke tonight and spend the night there and then to downtown tomorrow morning and take some pictures and stuff....but I'm not sure yet. Well, if you think of me in your prayers please pray for me as I do need all I can get! I will write more later. :)
