Another Countdown!!!!

In three days I will be back with my Sweetheart! Yay! I totally can't wait! I miss him soooo much! The only bummer is that a week from Monday I gotta start my summer school. But before that I get to spend time with my Hunny!!! Only three more days!

Update on things

Things are going great! I have already finished one of the rooms at my first clients house. It looks so much better! Totally uncluttered! It is more open and spacious and more inviting! It was so much fun too! The next project is going to be her husbands study and probably the bedroom. I have three guys from my church helpin me move furniture as well. It is a great experience and something that is so much fun!
Next Wednesday, the 3rd of May, I will be with my Hunny again! I am sooo excited! It has been over a month since I last saw him! Then on the 8th I will be starting summer school. Totally not looking forward to that! I will be taking my last semester of Spanish and a speech class. It should be interesting.
Mom is doing ok. They took three liters of fluid from her tummy today. That is still alot, but it is down from where it has been. Dad has taken a leave of absense from work this last month and is going to do it again for another month. So things have been really tight money-wise. But God has been good. He has given us little blessings here and there.
Other than that things are pretty much as normal as they possibly could be.

Lots of New Possibilities!

I can't believe all that has happened in just the last three days! It all began on Monday. I woke up at 10am and then got a call at 10:20am from my boss saying that I was supposed to be at work. Somehow the schedule had gotten changed from Saturday when I wrote it down and I wasn't informed! lol! So, I thought I was in the dog house. I rush to work and only get there an hour late and begin apologizing profusly! My boss just laughs and says not to worry about it! (I like her!) SO, a few minutes later she tells me she wants to talk to me about something....guilty conscience sets in automatically....she goes into this whole long discussion about how some of her clients are asking for design tips when it comes to space planning and such in their homes. She doesn't feel qualified to charge them for that service since she isn't trained. So...she debated going back to school and all and then thought of me. I have been seni-trained in this stuff and am in the process of training. So, she offered me to work out of the store kind of as an interior designer. Basically it would be my own thing where I would determine pay and stuff...and she would just include my price in her clients bills. So....I told her that I would like to do some research and get in touch with some of my teachers at BJU. She told me thats fine. So, these last 2 days I have gotten in touch with my teachers who then got me in touch with some interior design grads in my area who could help me out. Then one of those interior design grads began talking to one of her friends in the field who is a top guy and he is looking around at some of the big firms in my area and getting my name out there. I am supposed to get a call later today with a list of firms that are looking for interns. I need to do an internship as part of my study at school. So...basically all this has turn a good thing into a super awesome great thing! I don't know when I will be able to do the internship. I don't know if I could do it right along with work or not this summer or if I could do it during Christmas break....I am wanting to go back to the Wilds to counsel maybe next summer....so I am in the midst of many many many big decisions! And 4 days ago I had no clue what this week would hold for me! lol! So, please pray for me as I kinda see what the design world is really like. And kinda get a feel for some things. I have alot of great opportunities at my fingertips...but I just need to know what it is that God would have me do. I feel a great pull towards the ministry so I am very hesitant to get into anything too much. I also do not see myself full time in the interior design field. I see myself as a wife to a sweet guy who has a big heart for the ministry. I don't know why alot of these doors seem to be opening in my field of study....it could be a pull in the opposite direction from Satan trying to keep me from the ministry, I do not know...or it could be opportunities for me to learn some things that will benefit me later on. Or maybe there is some lesson that I am supposed to learn through all of this. I don't know....I am just going to follow my Masters leading. And put extra special prayer into my decisions.
