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!
