Thank you, God!!!! :)

So, big news, my wonderful fiance got a job!!!!! God has definitely answered our prayers on this one, like He always does. It's difficult sometimes to be patient and wait to see what He is going to do, but He always provides and takes care of us, even if it's not on our watch. All day I have been watching HGTV and planning what I want to do to our first apartment. I'm thinking I would absolutely love to go to the thrift store or to an estate sale or something and repaint and reupholster things so that it has a really vintage, eclectic feel. Yep, HGTV definitely has me in the funky, creative mood. :)
Only 43 days until the wedding, 37 days until college graduation. Wow. Can't wait!!!! I am so excited/nervous about really starting to be a grown up. In a way, I guess things won't really change because I've sort of been living on my own since I came to college, but the big difference about the future will be that my parents won't be supporting me anymore. And, even though it's a tad scary, I know that me and Spencer are about to embark on a wonderful adventure together. I couldn't be more thrilled. Well, I guess I could be a little more thrilled if I had my own job set up, but that will come with time :) I can't wait to start that process, applying and interviewing, and hopefully ending up with my very own teaching job! I think I would die from happiness. Not really, but you get the idea :) Also, throughout my applying process, I'm trying to always remember that if God wants me to have a classroom this year, He is going to open the door and I am going to get it, if not, then I will do some long/short term subbing until I get that chance! Just a word of wisdom for others in the same boat as me, don't get complacent. Don't just sit around waiting for God to open a door for you. That can be a trick of the enemy. I think that God will provide for us, but that doesn't mean we can sit around and do nothing, waiting for Him to provide an opportunity for us. We have to be active searchers and ministers, and along the way, God will show us our path and show us where we need to go. So, if you're sitting around and waiting, stop. Get up, and GO do something!!! Don't waste the only life you have waiting for something to happen :)

Peace out, homies :)
