New things

Lots has gone on lately. So much so that I haven't had time and energy at the same time to post. Sounds crazy but true. Changed job positions, bought a house, gone on a real life date (TWICE with the same guy!!). I just understand how incredibly blessed I am. The kids are doing really well, I am adjusting to life truly on my own, and loving that life is somewhat normal. I know that it may not always be so, but for the moment, just for now I am happy. Not that I'm not usually, but there is no pain right now. No fight for a breath of peace if that makes sense.

I LOVE my job. It's crazy, hectic at times, and things don't always go the way I think they should, but I love it. Never have I been in this type of position. I work with the BEST people. It's not always easy, but it's good. And hey, being the "church secretary" has its' benefits. I know everyone around. Or am getting to know them. It's great.

The house is going well. I am down to 2 boxes in the living room. We won't discuss how many are in the garage. But it feels like home now. And it's mine. Again not perfect, but perfect for me and the kids. There are the standard snags that frustrate me but there is a certain amount of pride that goes with my own space. I'm more tired than I ever thought I could be, but that's ok.

And of course for THE date. :) He is a wonderful guy. A gentleman in the truest sense of the word. And we have plans for another date. I am all smiles and as goofy as a 16 year old. We shall see how this goes. I'm sure I will have more to say on that soon.

God has really used all this right now in an interesting way. The things that I have passed over for ridiculous amounts of time are the very things that make me smile now. This house and the guy that I am seeing are top of that list. They were on my radar for a looong time and I just never looked twice. But that's ok. Learning new things again. And it's good. Very good.
