What a week it has been. It's been so long, it feels like it's been forever, and life is just going on. Tuesday I moved into my new apartment up in New London with Nicole. It's a really nice place and it's just starting to feel like home. I still have a little decorating to do in my room, but the rest of the place is great. I also started work on Wednesday, and haven't had a day off yet. I've been going to Barb's at 9am everyday, and doing hard work all day, then coming home and crashing. I feel like my hard work will actually pay off in the end, because Barb has started telling me how good of a job I've been doing. I feel like I'm really learning something at the same time. God is working some important stuff with me lately, and I seem to realize a lot of it when I'm working and just letting my thoughts wonder. One of the big things that I've noticed He's been working on is my dislike of spiders and animals. I've hated spiders since I was bit by one and almost died. Now, that's just about all I've been working with this week, is spiders. And I've seen so many different animals it's crazy, like a huge black bear walked out in front of my car yesterday, on Main Street! But I was still oddly calm about it.
Most days after work, I've gone to the beach just to relax. I went once with Gally and Brandon, and we chatted for a while, and it was just nice to catch up with people. It's going to be such a good summer. :) I went the other night and finished my book! I'm so excited about it too, there was so much in there that I can't wait to talk about with Benny!
I even cooked myself dinner the other night. I made pasta sauce from scratch with veggies. :) It came out pretty good, and I felt like maybe I will make it alone this summer. Me and Nicole are planning one night a week that we cook dinner together, because neither of us really knows how. I'll let you know how Tuesday goes.
Things are really looking up.
