Life Lately

Well, it has been several weeks since I blogged last. Since I last blogged A LOT of wonderful things have happened. Jesse and I are, of course, still in Hattiesburg; things are, however, really looking up for us.

#1 - JESSE GOT A JOB!!!!
We have been hoping and praying for this to happen and for the right opportunity to open up for him and, IT DID! He is now a server at Chili's! The job market is REALLY competitive right now so, we are very thankful that he was able to find something so quickly after we JUST moved here. We will see what the future holds for him but, for now, we are grateful for this opportunity

#2 - I HAD A BIRTHDAY!!!
My family came to visit the week before my birthday. They stayed for about four days and spoiled the heck out of both me and Jesse! :) I got to do A LOT of shopping which was tons of fun for me. I think I wore everyone out! We went to eat at Outback for my birthday dinner and it was delicious. I was sad to see them leave because, I know it might be awhile before I see them again. I am really thankful that they came, though!

#3 - We found a GREAT church!
While my family was here we visited a new church called "The Grove". It was exactly what Jesse and I were looking for. They had a very contemporary service and music, and they were extremely hospitable. They have just started in this area and it will be a great opportunity for Jesse and I to meet new people and get involved. We are so excited about it and can't wait to go back!

#4 I've been keeping BUSY!
While I am waiting anxiously for school to start...I have taken on a temp position at the apartments here. It has been really hectic because, I have been helping with what they call "turn". It is where leases end and a bunch of people move out and then new people move back in. It is much like some of the duties I had as an RA, however, it is a little more intense. It is good, though. It keeps me busy and I get paid for it. I'm still helping with marketing events and such but, that effort has slowed down a bit. I finally got my class schedule for my first semester in grad school. I am soooooo incredibly excited and I can't wait.

The Lord is really blessing us here in Hattiesburg! I am ever so grateful. We are having so much fun! I'm ready for all the things to come!
