Apparently I have two blogs?

And I've been posting in both. Who knew?

Here's my post for October 18, 2009.

I had to work today.
Sounds normal.
But isn't.
I had someone to cover this shift 3 days ago.
Because this is fall break, and I've been working the whole time, and needed today to do my homework, laundry and clean.
But my replacement isn't register trained.
So my managers said no.

I see it from all sides, so I understand their side.
But I also understand mine, in that I haven't been on a register in months.
And when I walked in, a great percentage of everyone there was register trained.

My anger was justified when I never was called onto register in my 4 hour shift.

However. God really blessed me today.
While at work, I got to catch up with a good friend, Sarah, who I work with AND she's in my outer circle of friends- the ones I don't get to see often, but are really really good people. We planned a baking night for this week. :)
I also got a visit from Tessa and Ellen, who excited me SO much, since it allowed me to get some frustration out about my student teaching placement, and we got to plan a Girl's Night for Friday. :)
Then, I saw Mina! We decided to plan a fun night, too.

I prayed God would introduce great people into my life, and He's started doing just that.
I told Him my worries about how I feel I've been paying for my friends for 5 years, and I'm worried that if my chapter folds, I won't have any friends.
How great is He.

I think I've decided Nate is a keeper.
More to come on this subject, I'm sure...
:)

Here's the thing.
It's short.

But he's a keeper.

And here's why.
....I paid off a credit card. I wanted to tell him first.
....I took my cat to the vet, and I wanted him to be there, because my cat is like our kid....He wanted me to call him immediately to hear what the Vet said.
....We talk with cavalier attitudes about weddings, forevers, houses, carreers, what I'll do when I go to Colorado.


When. :) Not if.
Next to my mom, he's the first person I told when I got an email from the horn professor at the University of Colorado.
And he said, "Baby, that's awesome!"
He didn't say "Colorado... that's far."
He said, baby. that's awesome.

He is my peace.
He is my joy.
He is my sunshine.
He is my laughter.
He is my happiness.

And I could spend my forever waking up next to him.

And that, my friends... is an incredible feeling.
