The dreaded job hunt!

This post is long overdue, however, I still find it necessary post about it!
Warning, this post will get a little churchy, but I would be ungrateful not to mention the spiritual side of this adventure.
When we first got married, I was in search of finding a job closer our new home, and one that would allow me maximum time with the husband. It took me quite some time to find one.
I looked all over! Finally, after a while of searching, I found one at the Gateway. I came home super excited to tell Michael, but the job required work on Sunday. After much thought, we decided I shouldn't take the job. So, for me, it was back to searching.
Just a little plug for how amazing Michael is, I was super bummed about having to turn down the job, but Mike was determined and had faith that because I turned down the job, the Lord would bless me.
Pretty frustrated, I kept applying to jobs online. The hunt seemed to go on forever! Finally I found a listing for a daycare position. I contacted to number, and immediately knew this was where I was meant to be. To be honest, I'm most comfortable around kids, so, finding this job was definitely a really big blessing!! Mike was ABSOLUTELY right. The Lord blessed me because we listened to Him.
Unfortunately, I won't post pictures of the kids I work with, because i don't have permission!!

Thanks for reading!

Zoo Lights

Over Christmas break, a couple of our family members were able to go with us to the Zoo to go see the lights!
We weren't entirely sure what to expect seeing as none of us had been to see the lights there before.
It was absolutely brilliant! W loved every second of it! Although it was bitter cold, they really created something beautiful!
Mike and I decided to make it one of our first Christmas traditions!
