So Many Blessings.

It's a good thing that I like change, because a lot of it has been happening lately!  

(1)  Brian's dad is home, safe and sound.  He stays there by himself at night, which made us nervous at first, but he has been doing great adjusting back to "normal" schedule.  

(2)  I am graduating today, summa cum laude.  Four years absolutely flew by.  It still doesn't seem real, and I don't think it will until I walk across the stage at Diddle Arena.  We are going to eat at Mariah's in Bowling Green before commencement ceremony.  I just wish the weather was a little brighter, but we can't have it all.

(3)  Not only is today a big day because I am graduating college, this morning, Brian and I bought our first house!  It's absolutely perfect...I'll post pictures in another post.  It has everything on our "wish list", which we thought would never happen.  We assumed that there would be sacrifices along the way, in order to find our first home.  Hopefully, by mid-July, we will close and it will officially be ours!

(4)  And lastly, in my previous post, I said I had some good news......I GOT A TEACHING POSITION!!!  I will go this coming week to sign my contract.  I am thrilled, ecstatic, and nervous.  People always told me during college that every teaching vacancy has 200 applicants and it's so hard to get a job.  I always told them that you just had to be the best of the best.  Teaching is not the career I have chosen, it is my calling, something I feel passionate about.  

So many changes in the month of May, so many blessings. In just two months and two days, I will become Mrs. Howard, another great prayer answered.  Life is never perfect, but right now, it's so darn close.  Nothing has been handed to us though, and I'm very proud of how far Brian and I have come.  It has taken lots of determination, dedication, and hard work, but it has been so worth it.  

Now I must go get ready for graduation, so pictures will follow in the next post hopefully!
