Journey- Part 1

I'm so glad that it is Friday!! My house desperately needs to be cleaned and decluttered... actually a good Spring Cleaning is needed. Hopefully the beautiful weather will stick around for a while... I'm so much more motivated during warmer weather.

I called the DR who passed on his cell number to me on Wednesday, and went in for an interview yesterday. Should be hearing something soon. I feel so good about this job, the mission that it is serving, I desperately want this job. Amazing thing happened when I met w/ the docor and office manager yesterday. I'm very high-anxiety at times, and the interview of course was no differant. The dr actually stopped at one point and said, "calm down, Ang. You're with a brother and sister in Christ...." Of course I already knew the doctor is a Christian, and likewise he knew of my background and also of the spiritual battle at my last job.

This whole interview process started me thinking of how far I've come in the past year. Last January we were starting to make friends, like our jobs, have a close bible study group, and be happy to be where we were. Hubby lost his job, and things were turned upside down. We decided to move to Columbus, and try to make better for ourselves (the economy in eastern KY is very bad). Hubby grew up here, so the move although difficult was easier for him in some ways. I litterally cried every time I thought of OH during the 2 weeks before moving. I knew nothing about Columbus... had never even driven on the interstates. Country girl turn city girl, didn't think that it could ever possibly happen. I felt lost and confined. I started a new job very soon after moving here... the standing joke was if I found my way to work w/o getting lost (which happened more than once). My job excited me, and challenged me, but it was not a good place to work. Spiritual warfare was heavy there.... I was not happy and I slipped back into a depression. Then a blessing in disguise happened, I lost my job right before Christmas. In the past few months I have taken an easy job just to regroup and refocus myself. Now, this job opportunity is before me and I am very happy and excited. Ohhh... and I now can pretty much go anywhere in the city w/ some good directions :) God has been good to me this past year.

WFMW: Kitchen Edition

My family eats a lot of hamburger, but I hated to cook it because of the grease splatters....until someone taught me a trick. Before I begin the hamburger , I lightly sprinkle some salt into the skillet. This works for me, because we salt anyways... now I just do it for everyone ahead of time! Grease splatters now are mostly a thing of the past.

New Journey?!?

I've received some exciting news. Please pray for me tomarrow (Wed)... I'm calling a Doctor about a job. Now, this is BIG because he has asked me to personally call his cell... all because of word of mouth recomendations!! More tomarrow :)

Sad, Sad day

Last night while hubby and I were making our way through Wal-Mart, I pointed out some very cutesy undies... ones that I haven't had since Mikey was born (In my defense the white scrubs for the year kind of put a damper on cuteness). Sadly, hubby was more interested in new lightbulbs that are *supposed* to last for 5 years. Sad, but true. Hmmm.....
Ok... now to boyscouts, but more to come soon :)
