Now that my life is just starting to get crazy, I have decided that I want to blog again, go figure. Life has brought me so many wonderful things in the last year and I am so happy with where I am at, all that God has blessed me with, and where my life is heading.
Last summer flew by, and school was here before I knew it, and in actuality it was gone before I knew it and I am missing it more than I thought possible. I made so many great friends and memories my senior year of college, and so many wonderful people became a part of my life. Thanks to all of you, especially my dear friends Avery, Josh, and Scott, and a great professor Dr. Bill. You all have a special place in my heart and have impacted my life in more ways than one.
Things have became a whirlwind since graduation. Filling out multiple applications led to a job at Auto-Owners Insurance in Clarkston. My first day was June 18th, and my gracious Aunt, Uncle, and cousin opened up their home and let me bombard their spare bedroom, and the rest of the areas of their house. Nick has pretty much taken over the basement. It has been hard to be away from Nick and "home" but being here with my family makes it so much easier to come back every weekend and enjoy my nights. I seriously, in a joking manner, told my cousin Leah last night, nights fly by with intense chats with Di, because they literally do. I catch myself looking at the clock and realizing that it is already past 10 o'clock at night and all I've done is vented my soul to my Aunt Diane. She patiently listens and advises me with her knowledge. She is such a wonderful woman and I am so glad that I get to spend time and get to know her more and more with every day.
Now, I am struggling with the juggling of traveling home every weekend for bridal showers, weddings, and various other celebrations, working full time, spending time with family and my darling Nickolas, and planning a wedding that is going to come before I know it (31 days:)!!!). But, I am loving every second of my life and wouldn't change it for the world.
Work has been challenging, but mainly because their are so many things to learn. I am an auto claims represenative, right now currently still in training, gladly because I have so much more to learn before I even know the half of what to say to insureds, claimants, shops, and other agents (Hey...but I do know the difference between regular collision and broad collision coverage now). I really enjoy the people I work with and the company in general.
Nick and I got approved for an apartment in Grand Blanc and that is where we will be leaving for the next couple of years. We will be in a nice sized 1 bedroom for a while, but we will be nice and cozy. It will be 20 minutes for me to get to work and 45 for Nick to get to SVSU. Nick is planning on subbing a couple days a week/month just to get his feet wet.
I could go on and on for much longer, but in reality what I am trying to get at is although our life may be hectic right now, we have been blessed with amazing people and opportunities, and God never ceases to guide us to the place that will suit us best. He knows us far more than we think we know what is best for us. We are trying to start letting go and trusting in him more.
Jeremiah 29:11; "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
