Late February 2016

Friday, March 4, 2016


   I have had the most busy past 3 weeks- the only time I can remember feeling more frantic for time was the month prior to my wedding! I'm going to try to hit up some highlights but I'll be back for more thorough reports later.


-I bought a new car! This vehicle is seriously the light of my life right now. Through a few series of blessed occurrences we came across this incredible deal from, of all places, Craigslist! Extra big shoutout to my husband for finding it, my BFF Miranda for making a 3 hour round- trip last minute test drive session and my parents for their endless answers to my uber frequent calls (truly up to 15 times a day). Car buying is not for the faint of heart, but boy oh boy and I happy we did it! This Toyota RAV4 has me feeling like I own the world.

-I started back to work as a Substitute. It has been a fun change from the usual! No longer do I watch my little niece during the week so I had more free time and an urge to make some money. The biggest problem was that with Young Women, doctor's appointments, our planned trips and general errand running I needed some flexibility. This was the most obvious and convenient solution- particularly considering my 3 years of prior experience. Figuring out how this county's school system works versus back home has been quite the challenge but almost entirely positive.

-My sister came off her mission! I am going to post many pictures, videos and sappy words later- I'm having trouble with the video making and I dread purchasing a new program so it's stalled. We had a joyous reunion, one I won't be forgetting. For now, suffice it too say, I'm grateful she is back in Georgia.
