I am jumping back on the blogging bandwagon, so to speak.
So what's the scoop Snoop-y?!
There is a lot of scoop. I just need to figure out where to begin.
Well the biggest news is Charles is in for his promotion. We are very excited this time, more so than last time, and have been told we have reason to be so excited. The last time Charles was up for promotion, the entire situation was handled terribly, and we both almost lost two of our greatest friends. The first time he was going to be promoted in-center. For those of you who do not understand what that means, he was going to be promoted at his home center, the center that he started working at. If he gets this promotion he will be moved to Casselberry, Altamonte, or Orlando.
Moving to one of those three beautiful cities means... dum, dum, dum... we will be moving out into this world on our own. I must say, I am extremely excited and at the very same time I am extremely scared. I have never lived on my own, never-mind the fact that my boyfriend and I are officially moving into our very own, first place together. I feel so grown-up when we start discussing our plans to move. I also do not want to "count our chickens before they hatch". We're trying to keep a lid on the entire thing. However, that is proving to be difficult when there are other people discussing it. You know we have to share this stuff with our families, and we have chosen to share this with our close friends. However, other people discussing it, especially those it does not effect, is a nerve-grating issue.
Is that not big news?! I thought so. It's pretty stressful, and I have allowed the stress to take me down a notch. However, I read something this week I would really love to share with you. It helped to lift me up and show me just exactly how truly blessed I am.

I also received a simply illustrated email from my Dad that really put things into perspective for me.
The illustration shows a guy who is rather frustrated asking the Lord, "Why me"?! When he gets up he gets hit with a rock, looks to the sky, and screams "WHY"?!?!?! He looks back and sees the Lord standing in front of a rock storm, trying to block as many of the rocks as possible. The Lord says to him, "Are you alright? I might have missed a small piece."
How beautiful is that?! I have been finding encouragement in some of the most unexpected places. I have a feeling the Lord is standing over my shoulder, showing me he is in fact with me, through everything I am going through.
Anyway, that is the scoop for today. I have made 3 out of 4 of the cheesecake I have to make this weekend. I am watching the rest of the Gleekend marathon. Aaannd... I have to finish my homework for the week. Tomorrow I am going to spend the evening with my father. I really am going to miss being so close to our families.
Until Next Time...
