Getting Ready for the Fall

So I got the job!!! Now i have my source of income lined up and school all in order...the only thing left to do is enjoy my last week or so until school starts. I am very ready for school to start. I mean, sure once it gets going there are some days when I'm like....really school...but even then I know that I would rather be doing school.
I start my job training next tuesday. Our uniform is very relaxed for which I am very thankful!!!! Tennis shoes, Jeans, and the company TSHIRT!!!! Yes to no polo!!! :):):) Obviously very happy about this one.

I have been striving to better myself lately so one thing I did yesterday was watch a girl talk DVD with my friend. Girl Talk is something we do at Bellevue where there is a speaker and a specific topic and its a girls night essentially (as if you couldn't have figured that out).
Well this time the speaker Shaunti Feldhahn spoke about her book "For Women Only." I was BLOWN AWAY by the things I learned.

For example: As women we crave love so we would naturally assume men do also....WRONG.... some men would give up hearing his woman say "i Love you" if it meant we could say "we trust, respect, am proud of" etc. Men equate respect with love. If we love them then we will respect them.
Shaunti pointed out that in the Bible we are commanded as wives to "respect our husbands" and as husband they are to "love your wives". WOW!

There were many other subjects such as sex and communication and so on so forth!! It was wonderful!!! I will have to post on the subject once I finish reading the whole book!!! :)

I am so thankful for the friends I have had by my side lately :) I really appreciate them more than they know. One of my friends is neck high in nursing school and still finds time to send me encouraging little texts and have little coffee times with me. Another one of my friends is going through her own transformation in another country and has still encouraged me more than she will ever know. I am so excited for the fall that is about to come my way and take me on its wild ride :)
I know it won't all be super easy, but I do know that with my God and with the encouraging friends He has put my side I can do it!!!!

Eric moved into his apartment today and I couldn't be more excited for him. I know he is going to have a fantastic fall pursuing his dream. We are both where we are supposed to be for now, so my smile is on and I am going to enjoy this new experience :)
