A Busy and Blessed Life

There has been so much that has gone on since my last post.

Lately life has been a busy whirlwind with so much excitement it's exhausting! Last week my family was nice enough to help me move everything from my apartment in Lincoln to my parent's house in Aurora. It was a multiple day event because I just have SO MUCH STUFF. I have realized that I need to purge and I do not NEED all of those things to live my life. So, now I am in the process of cleaning, going through and throwing away piles and piles of things.

On top of all of this, Tim and I are in the process of buying our first house. We are so excited about our three bedroom house with room for a spacious (new) kitchen and a gigantic yard. There are quite a few things that we would like to fix up or change in our house, but we are eager and willing to put in the work in order to make it the way we would like. We are also hoping that all of our hard work will pay off in the end and when it is time to move out of our first house, we will reap the rewards of updating our home. I especially love the location of our house, which is right across the street from the elementary school in town. I joke with Tim that when we have kids and they are just bouncing off the walls I will take them across the street to play on the fun playground that they have at the school. All joking aside, we are very excited to begin our adventure as home owners and ready to make many memories in our new house.

I am also blessed enough to have had a job offer when I came back to town at a salon in York called "The Avenue". I start my job on Tuesday and am excited to get back into the salon world. I think my mom is especially excited to be able to come get her hair done in a salon setting instead of in her bathroom. (You gotta love "kitchen hair"!) I am praying that everything goes well at my job and that I can start up a great clientele there. The extra prayers would be greatly appreciated.

In all that is happening in my life, I still had time to squeeze in a quick weekend trip to Kansas City for my girlfriend's birthday. We had a fun time just hanging out with the group of girls and enjoying the city life with shopping, eating, and a really great hotel room. I think some of my favorite times were the car rides to and from Kansas City. What a fun experience!

I need to remember that amidst all of the chaos and craziness with planning a wedding, starting a new job, buying a house, and everything else, that this is what life is all about. Cherish these moments because you may never get the opportunity to live them again!
