You mean I get PAID to play with kids?!

I had the BEST week @ work last week. We went to the park, play-groups, singing classes, took lots of walks and just most of all had a lot of laughs! I should have never doubted God, but for a while I just kept wondering "when will it be my turn to be happy?" Well, from the time I finally let go ( I think I have control issues lol) and trusted HIM for my happiness, I landed this job. I haven't been this happy (that wasn't dependent on anything or anyone) in so long, I forgot what it felt like. :) I joined a Community Group for single women @ my church. Jamie will actually lead this group and it will be held at our house 2 Sunday nights a month. We both are very excited to grow our relationship in Him thru this study. I say all this to show you that God is so amazing and will take care of us even when we think there is no hope. I have come so very far since the day that Adam and I broke up and I am so very thankful for that. I can now appreciate the highs and lows of that point in my life and look back and thank God for allowing me to go thru all that, just so I can learn who I am and what I want out of my life. I am enjoying my life here in Dallas and so very thankful that He picked this family for me!

I know that most of you know that I was a nanny for a wonderful family in Lewisville, TX for about a year right before I moved back to Longview. I have kept in touch with them thru emails ect. But, now since I'm back here in Dallas I got the opportunity to go and visit them. We had a great time catching up. Lu Lu was just 2 when I started and she's now 4 1/2, John Davis was just six weeks old when I started and he is 2 1/2. They have both grown up so much and it was a great time. Here is the pic I got from that evening!

What an amazing time in my life! :)

I made it to the big city of Dallas! I am here and loving every single second. I got here on Tuesday night and met up with some old/new friends for dinner. Then I officially moved into the house on Wednesday morning. I haven't started work yet, but have been hanging out with the kids and having a grand ole time. I will report to duty on Monday ;) It's been great seeing friends and visiting some families I babysat for. I've been going and going since I got to town, but it's been so wonderful seeing everyone.

I don't know how much time I will have to update this once I start working, but I've heard from several people that yall have really enjoyed this. So, I will do my best to keep it updated! I'm planning on buying a camera on Monday and will take some pictures of the kids and the house etc.

Have a great weekend everyone!

GOT THE JOB!!! :)

I couldn't be happier right now. I will be moving to Dallas next week sometime. My official start date is Monday May 18th. But, I may move a lot sooner. I am not subbing anymore, so I have the next week and a half to play! :) God has truly blessed me with the sweetest family! The kids and I had a blast the last few days. I got to bond and play and just run around all day with them. I kept thinking...I'm getting PAID TO PLAY! :) Jamie (the mom) and I have bonded in a much faster way than I ever expected. I know God placed her in my life for a very specific purpose and I can't wait to see how He is going to nurture and grow our relationship. We tell everyone that we feel like we are sisters. We are truly that close. We stayed up talking and laughing and just hangin out after the kids went to bed. I can't describe the happiness in my life right now. I have truly let everything and yes I mean everything stay in my past. I am moving on and not looking back! God has a super plan for me in Dallas for at least the next 2 years. I signed a 2 year agreement with her and hopefully stay with them for many years to come. Thank you all so very much for your prayers. This is evidence that God answers prayers in the most amazing way possible. I just had wait for His timing and it was all so very worth it!

I got to have a little "play" time with my girlfriends on Saturday. We went to the Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum concert. It was pouring down raining the entire time, but we had the most fun. We sang and danced all in the rain. Here are some pictures to prove just how much fun a concert can be in the rain! :)
