The moment you've all been waiting for......

Well I had a wonderful birthday and am now legal.....not to worry though...I have been able to keep it all under control. ;)

So, not going to lie, but in order to help me remember what I have even been doing the last couple of weeks.....I had to look at my planner. :-o  Very sad, I know....lets just say I keep myself too busy. The most exciting and fun thing that I did recently was go to Winter Jam (a Christian concert with several different singers).  It was awesome!!! I went with the Gerber girls, Ella Stoller, and Maria Ramirez.  We had a blast!! Last week on my day off, I went and spent the afternoon with Alyssa Eisenmann, who will soon be leaving for Southeast Asia for three months.  So please pray for her!!  Also, this past Sunday, I actually helped teach Sunday School, filling in for a friend.  I didn't give the lesson, I was just the helper...which was a good thing, since I didn't really know what I was doing.  But it all went well and we all survived!:)

Me, Erika, and Alyssa (or what we call an Alyssa Sandwich)

And now....the moment you've all been waiting for.....

I have accepted a job at Gateway Woods (a children's home in Leo, IN) as an Assistant House Parent.  I am really excited and can't wait to see what God has in store for me there!! It will be challenging and will push me to learn and grow!!  I ask for your prayers and support in this new transition! Also, for those wondering if I will now be making Leo my "home church".  The answer is no, I am acutally planning on keeping Bluffton Country my home church and will come back to Bluffton quite a bit on my days off.  I am hoping to take some Sundays off every month and days I know the yg will be doing things....and come to Bluffton.  I decided on this for a few reasons.  First, when I moved to Bluffton, I moved with the intention of not moving again and setting down roots.  Establishing a home church and really becoming a part of a church body and community.  This is something that I have had a hard time with before.  Secondly, it actually happened!!!....I mean I haven't hardly traveled since moving here, and I am totally fine just being home and not traveling as much!  I feel like I have just finally started to establish friendships....past the outer layer... and want to keep those and grow them.

Anyway, I don't have a lot of other information yet, but will keep you updated!:)

P.S. After writing this title....I had to laugh and wonder how many of you would get excited thinking....she is getting married?!?!  hahaha....not to name any names....but I can think of a few people who would be thinking just that....;)
