Pity Party...yuk

Good lord, would you listen to me. When I was laying in bed last night I was thinking about what I blogged about. I'm throwing myself a pity party..."what should I do with my life?"..."feeling lost."...blah blah blah. There are people in the world that have a lot more problems than I do, that are lost, that don't even have options in jobs & locations to live, etc. At least I have loving family & friends, I know who my Savior is, and I have options in jobs, etc. So, sorry about that. It can be so easy to get caught up in yourself and to worry. But that's not what life is about. I should just let God take control. It will all work out much better that way than if I tried to plan it myself.
K...off to the ladies retreat!

p.s. I got a Mac! This is coming from my new MacBook! I LOVE IT! I already feel productivity and creativity coming my way!

Hmmmmm

Nothing huge to update on. I found out I didn't get that job in NYC...there's still a possibility to work there during the summer, we'll see. I'm going on a ladies retreat this weekend with Sandi's church, should be fun! I'm applying to more teaching jobs abroad. I dunno...I guess I feel a little lost these days. Like, what am I doing with my life? I'm always jumping around. Never staying in 1 place too long. In one way, I love it. But in another, like right now, I'm not sure what the next step is. I'm still hoping to go to school in Norway next year. But what should I do till then? Stay in Texas & nanny? It would be awesome to stay here & spend solid time with family & friends...join a church, get involved. Or, I could go teach abroad again. I've got a couple of schools interested in Thailand & Indonesia. Would be another adventure! But I'm hopeful. I'm trusting that God will send me where I need to go. I just need to be open & listen to Him. And to not put my own desires before His.
Well...more later.

Feeling Blessed

So I've been back states side for almost 2 months now. Stacy's wedding was last weekend....soooo much fun! It was like a reunion! I grew up with her family & I hadn't seen them in years! I had the honor of being a bridesmaid. Willard (Jill) & I got to be with Stacy all day the day before her wedding AND the day of. We had nail, make-up, hair appoitments, etc. It was a blast! The 3 of us got so close in just 2 days! We had so much fun together. Willard & I had our first mini annoyance with each other & we joked about it later. It only brought us closer. I love those girls.
Now I've been hanging out with friends, joined a gym, and started applying to jobs. I'm applying for nanny and substitute teaching jobs here (to do while I'm in Texas, shorterm). I have an interview on Thursday for Director of English Summer Junior Program position. Best part...it's in New York! I've ALWAYS wanted to live in New York.
I've also been applying for more teaching abroad positions. We'll see. I'd love for it to be in Lebanon, Dubai, Hong Kong, or a Spanish speaking country.
It's been so wonderful being around friends & fam these past couple of months. Makes me realize how blessed I am to have such amazing people in my life! Even though I've been gone for 1.5 years, it's so refreshing to be able to pick right back up as if no time was lost.
My mom & I are going to Enid, OK this weekend for KD's (my uncle) memorial service. He passed away a few months ago while my brother & I were still in Korea. My bro was extremely close with him so he took it pretty hard. He hated that he couldn't be there with everyone, mainly Lyn & Cody. It still hasn't really sunk in that he's gone. He was the most fun loving funny guy ever. Always cracking jokes, so generous. What an incredible guy. He will continue to be missed by everyone that knew him.
Well, that's about all for now. I'll let ya know if I get that job in NY!
