Rejoicing Too

Hi all you. I realized tonight that I've only been writing about hard times for my last few blogs entries. Well, it's time for that to change! Today is a great time to realize all these blessings in my life that God has given me.

First, I got the funniest phone call! My old roommate Susan gave me a call tonight... from my parents' barn!!! Go figure. Susan never got to visit while we were at OBU, and she and my sister were at a wedding in Wichita today, and she was able to come by. How fun is that.

Second, I just had a lovely date night. We went to Panera Bread first. (This is the site of our first date, and Matt's favorite chicken noodle soup.) Then we headed off to play mini-golf at HeyDay Entertainment Center. Matt and I went to a going away party there soon after we started dating. We got to share a game with another couple from our church. So there were a lot of good memories, and a lot of good memories made.

Third, I start my new job on Monday.... new job you ask? My dear Emily decided to take a job at UCO. She resigned from her position as Circulation Librarian, and they decided to offer the position to me. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind as Emily has been teaching me the ropes... You should see my to do list. It's still over 5 pages double spaced typed. I could probably write more as well. Say a prayer for my supervisory skills. That's my biggest concern at this point. Nevertheless, I did receive a raise, and my bills will enjoy that. :-)

So I have a lot of blessings to be thankful for. It's been a lovely day!
