Snow Day!!

Wow it has been awhile since I last had a snow day! This is great. But instead of playing out in the white fields I have been catching up! First with my sleep and now with all my random weddingness details, which will soon include honeymoon details. Today marks 80 days until I am a MRS. and in all relaity I have most the wedding stuff is finished right now I am working on the invitations, programs and a few other small things. My goal is to have everything pretty much finished by mid Febuary or sooner just because March is going to be crazy.

Well on a side note, some of you know I had received a call and was offered an interview (this was Thursday 22nd) so on monday I went to the inteview and was there for an Hour and a Half...crazy. I really thing the interview went great I should know more by Tuesday...crazy...extiting...but crazy

Waiting

God is so amazing and continues to just blow my mind. After I submitted my application I was able to talk more with the girl that left(promoted out) of this position. She preceded to email and inform the hiring manager about me and my interest! Crazy! Once HR had not given him my application she suggested I email it directly to him. So I did and that is where I sit now...waiting...waiting

Dryer sheets make me think

I sit here in the mist of laundry and wedding-ness, thinking to myself how life changes us. God is so powerful and yet I worry and fret. Looking toward the wedding I have much to do. No apartment yet or invitations and still working on the guest list. Fiances are tight not to mention the addition of a lovely speeding ticket for going 10 miles over. The thought of getting older and having more responsibility is crazy. Yes today was my birthday and my last birthday as a single woman.
It is funny how birthdays kinda make you stop and realize what you truly have, and teaches you to fall in love with it more. I am very excited about getting married no joke but I am so excited to go through these next 95 days as a single woman. God has given me so much and some gifts are for me now the "singe Amanda" and there are some that He is preparing me for. As strange and scary as it might be I am so blessed to have Josh in my life. as we prepare for wedding God has stretched us and molded us more. There have been a few "I really don't like you" moments but we have been able to learn from them. Josh is always there to remind me that it will be ok, he knows how to refocus me when my eyes shift from the lord. Sometimes I feel like I can walk into the room and he knows all that has gone on in a matter of moments. God has allowed us to grow together with Him. Thank you!

Football!

So last night during the wonderful snow fall the boys and Marie thought it would be fun to play football. Well we began at 9:45pm and played till 12:00am It was super fun minus the knee injury for Chad and the concussion for me.. LOL I really don't think I have a concussion but it was pretty close, my lovely head landed oh so gracefully onto the frozen solid ground only to be topped with Matt not so well cushioned hip. Fun stuff. Besides the headache and the sore shoulders I am doing great!! I am still sad the snow is gone though.

So...So...So Nerves and Everthing Else

I am so excited, so nervous, so overwhelmed, so frustrated and so very content from my day today.

Excited: One of my close friends is having a great day and has expanded her family more to come I don't want to blow the surprise!!

Nervous: Today was the deadline for the applications so I am just getting nervous and wanting a result

Overwhelmed: Today was crazy at work I signed 4 leases and went to a no show signing! I got nothing accomplished because of house busy I was.

Frustrated: I worked until 7 instead of 5 and I was gonna go out with Josh but it all got pushed back

Content: Josh and I had a small dinner and watched some TV, and talked with Chad it was a nice clam moment and ending to my oh so crazy day

I find it so amazing to see all the emotions that go into my day. It is always interesting

Praying

Wow, I submitted my application online today, for a job. Yes Yes I do currently have a nice job, I love the ladies I work with and it pays ok. But it doesn't have benefits and it is a contractor position so there is only so much it can offer. I am applying for a position at the Sumitt Mental Health Hospital in Cincinnati, it is a State of Ohio job. The pay is almost double what I am currently making and it would have great full benefits. The more I heard about the job the more I felt it would be super and fit me nicely. But the more I learned the more I got excited I got and the more excited I got the more nervous I got. I really would love this and it would be so beneficial. But I pray I have not gotten my hopes up to high. The posting gents on Monday and then I will see!!
