Happy Day

Today was a surprisingly happy day for a Monday. For one, I found $23 wadded up in the draw in my nightstand! I was so excited. I kept trying to think if there was any reason I would have stashed some cash there, but I can think of none. So yay for some extra money!

Though I worked today, it was only for 4 hours, and afterward I was able to accomplish some things for VBS (Anthony and I are in charge of drama... eek). After Anthony got off work, he took me out to dinner :) It's been a long time since just the two of us went out to eat. We went to Famous Dave's and shared some yummy ribs. I'm very happy that they re-opened. After dinner, we stopped by Hallmark (my place of employment) to browse through some invitations. They have "employee days" from the 16th-20th when they give all employees 50% off of anything. We're trying to take advantage of that and order our invitations, but the date has kind of snuck up on us. I realized this past weekend that in order to buy invitations, we have to finish up the guest list and think about wording and all kinds of things. Fortunately, we were able to look some tonight, and we actually narrowed it down! We have a few different choices, but I think we have a favorite, so yay for us!

I'm hesitant to write about this next topic for fear that it won't happen. But, here I go anyway. I've applied for an administative assistant job at Bethel for the Career Services. For some reason, I'm really excited about the possibility of this job. It would be full time with benefits. Anthony and I would be able to live on one car between the two of us. And it just feels right. I've had plenty of people put in a good word for me, and I was just called today for an interview next Monday (the 21st). I'm trying not to get too excited because I've been turned down too many times before. But, it would be such a relief to not have to work at Hallmark any longer and to have an actual job. So, if you think about it, pray for me next Monday.

I think that's about all to my day thus far. I feel as though I'm in super planning mode. I'm juggling a lot of wedding stuff this week (invitations, engagement pictures, honeymoon stuff-condos and plane tickets) as well as VBS, work, and trying to get to Kalkaska this weekend for Jamie's birthday. So much to do, so little time. I'm glad, though, to have projects to work on. Especially fun ones like these. I've really been enjoying the honeymoon planning. We get to plan a vacation for just the two of us! We're looking to maybe buy plane tickets this week (no, boys, you can't know where we're going), and I think that will just cement everything so much more. Craziness.

Ok, I can stop babbling now. Much love,

Emily
