Hmm, it's been a little while. Let's see...
-I finally got my car back from the shop! It was there for 23 days and it sure does feel good to finally have my car back to drive! It's so much better on gas and I just missed driving it.
-The day before turning in the rental car, I dropped off a couple of youth to their house and I don't know what happened but I bumped into the car in front of me. No damage was present and the guy who was driving said it was no big deal but his wife was super dramatic saying I injured her and that her neck was in pain. The husband said it wasn't a big deal and he made her get in the car and they left. Oh thank goodness. I did apologized but I couldn't believe I had a small fender bender. I mean, I literally was driving like 2 or 3 miles per hour when bumping the car. Goodness, no more car accidents or fender benders for me please.
-I've moved over to Tomorrowland and it's been pretty cool. At first I was really nervous to make the move but I'm happy I switched sides. It's taken a little getting used to in the area but since Star Trader is new, everyone was getting used to the area too as well. And I've been happy. I know I had my moments in Fantasyland but this was a change I desperately needed. I was getting boggled down over there and I just kept getting frustrated and wondering what I wanted to do. But with a new change, comes a new attitude. I'm grateful to be working and to have some sort of income coming in. Even though Disney is not exactly my dream job, it's something and I'm having fun while doing it when I'm there. I find myself wanting to learn more about Star Wars and I'm watching the movies over again. I think Star Wars is pretty cool. I'm finding a new sense of appreciation for my nerdiness.
-I'm still looking for a teaching job and although I've applied to a couple of openings, had an interview for one and didn't get it, I'm still trying. I haven't lost hope and I refuse to lose my hope because without it there's no use in trying. I will keeping looking and keep applying until I hear back from something. I can't expect to get my dream job on the first couple times of applying. It'll take time but that's okay. The important thing is that I'm remaining positive about it and I'm not going to let Disney get me down about it. I've been reading this book called, Quitter by Jon Acuff. It's been helping me find that new appreciation for my work that I do at Disney. I'm learning that my current job is like a stepping stone for what I would like to do. Even though Disney and teaching are not exactly the same, I do deal with a lot of kids and I do the YES program. So there's plenty of ways to get and keep that experience I have with kids to eventually help in my future teaching career. All I know is that if this is something I want to do, I know I can accomplish it, even despite of the current state of our economy. Things will improve and that's that.
Other then that things have be going along well with Daniel, the house and our dog Cooper. Cooper has been getting into digging holes for a little while so now it looks like mines went off in our backyard. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the house because we are constantly doing other things for work or church. It's good to stay busy. I don't like having a day off and I'll get lazy and not do anything then get mad at myself for not doing anything. I think that's anyone though. And I know finances can be a lot as well, but God will provide. He always does, we're still here right?
So to end this, I will state that I will not let other things or other people get me down. I told Daniel last night about how sometimes who people don't do anything get things easier for them, but there's other people who work hard and have nothing to show for it. And even though I sometimes don't get why some things happen or how people in general "move up" with out any work shown, I know good things will come to those who wait and work hard. Because for those people who simply have life handed to them, sort of speak, will eventually have what's coming to them.
Take care and have a good day!
