October recap

I've kinda fallen out of the blogging world for a little while.  I'm usually so tired by the time I get home that it takes all the energy I have to figure out what to do for dinner, hang out with Jeremy for a little while, and maybe watch a TV show.  I'm usually ready to at least lay down in bed with the TV or a book by 9 or 9:30.  So, since a few of you have asked, here's October in a nutshell (it also allows you to skip the long-winded posts about some of these things :))!


We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on 10/10.  We went out for dinner and a movie the weekend right before the anniversary (since it was on a Monday).  Very nice to spend time together!!


We went up to Asheville the weekend after our anniversary to hang out with friends, and to visit our church.  I got to help lead worship with the band, and it was an amazing blessing!  It was hard to come back, but I made a decision to CHOOSE happiness.  It's actually kinda been working :)


We hit the 3-month "anniversary" of moving down here.  I can't BELIEVE that it's been that long!  It really does feel like just yesterday that we left the mountains.  Jeremy hit 2 months with the O'Charley's down here, and I hit 1 month with my job (just last week).


Jeremy's had a few rough days waiting tables...not much different than in Asheville.  We're still surprised at how inconsiderate people are...he's had at least one table completely stiff him this week (and of course the ones that decide to leave no tip are usually the ones that make him run around the most, and this was no exception).  I know times are tough, but guess what?  Unless you're unemployed and not receiving any benefits, you're making more than my husband does per hour.  $2.13/hour.  If you don't tip him, that's all he makes.  I'll step off that soapbox now :)


He's still on the look-out for another job, but he's also not entirely sure WHAT he wants to do.  But, he's applied several places and signed up for a handful of job sites, so I know God will lead him in the right direction!


He's still taking his grammar class on Friday nights, and even though I know it's rather annoying for him sometimes, he knows that after this, he'll get to take classes he's interested in!  We're still not sure where the money is going to come from, but we're trying to have faith that if God brought us here, He will provide.  We keep praying for that!


My job is going well also.  I finally feel like I've got a handle on the tasks I am responsible for daily, and they're adding to my workload, so that's good.  There are so many people there who are INSANELY loaded down with work, so I'm just happy that I'm able to take a little off of each of their plates to help out!  I'm still an "intern"--but don't worry, a PAID intern--but am hoping that they'll decide to keep me on permanently.  Rumor has it that some of my co-workers have been advocating on my behalf to get me hired on, so I'm hoping it will work :)


We're still attending the church I wrote about a few weeks back, so we'll see how that goes.  I'm having one big problem, that I don't really want to toss out there at the moment, so I've been praying for God to reveal the reason for this.  I'm hoping that He will let me know--let US know--what to do.


I reckon that's about all that's going on right now!  I can't think of much else. I do have a story to share, but that's for a separate blog post.  Maybe tomorrow.  :)
