Busy..Busy..Busy!!

So, I haven't posted in a couple of days! Sorry about that!

My life was so hectic this weekend.

Friday I got a call from the Human Resources Director of Visions Federal Credit Union and they offered me a position as a Teller at their bank!

Although I don't know what branch I will be at yet, I truly think that this is a

blessing in disguise.

In November, Mike moved in with me and my parents and as

time goes on, it is becoming incredibly apparent that there are just too many

adults living in one house.
Even though we are sooo grateful to my parents for letting us do this and helping us create the amazing relationship we now have, things are tight and this change will probably be best for us. 

So guess what time it is!

TIME TO MOVE OUT!!!!

Of course, as usual, money is an issue.

 We have to buy a mattress and some other things before we can have a place to live

and of course this is the time of year that things at the restaurant I work at slow down.

Normally on a weekend, I can make almost $300!

This past weekend, I made $100.

No Good!

Adding this income to our situation is going to be a great thing!

Mike has a great job as a Union Carpenter and can make this work for us

but if we don't have to suffer, why should we?

I want to contribute.

Although, I am so lucky because he just keeps telling me to make sure none of this gets in the way of my schoolwork and that he'll take care of me no matter where we are.

{I'm so lucky}

I now have two jobs and go to school full time but I really feel like I have this under control!

Plus, with the help of certain blogs such as choose to be happy by Alexa,
I know that if I pray and trust that the best thing possible for us will happen,
it will!

Best Friend...

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life.

Michael is my world, my love, and my {best friend} and

he means absolutely everything to me.

Until he came into my life, I thought that I would end up with a man

who walks on me and that my job in life was to make a two person

relationship work all by myself.

Michael has taught me that a real relationship takes 100% commitment and

work from both people in the relationship and that there are some

incredible men out there who want to put in the hard work necessary

in order to make a relationship work.

It's funny because when I was younger and dreaming of the man I someday

would find who would sweep me off my feet, the man in my head

looks an awful lot like Mike.

Dark hair. Dark eyes. Hard working. In boots and Carhartts.

;-)

He complements me. My love of country living. My want for

a house and family {someday in the distant future :-)} 

He's serious and committed but at the same time, I have never

met anyone who can make me laugh so hard and when I

cry, there's no one else who's hug feels so warm.

When he leaves for work in the morning, I am assured

that I am the only woman on his mind. 

Just as he is the one man in this world who fills my head with happy thoughts all day long.

There are some important couples in my life who have taught me some valuable lessons about being in a relationship:

1. My mother and father: Steadfast rocks who were absolutely made for eachother

2. My Aunt Kim and Uncle Eric: Free spirits who have taught me that I can truly do anything

3. My cousin Aubrey Kinch and her husband Andrew Kinch: Although still newlyweds, they have already taught me one of the most important lessons I think I could learn, "always be the first to say "I'm Sorry.""

This is where I want to be in my life.

With my hand in his.

Finally, all feels so so so right.
