Silver Lining

There always seems to be something standing in my way of updating my blog. Whether I have lost the cord to plug in my camera, or even lost the camera itself, or I may just feel like I have no time. So my apologies for not updating sooner, I need to step it up. lol.

Micah and I have had an interesting couple of months. To kick it off, we have moved, again. This is now our 5th home in 4 years. But oh well, whatever works. We like it, it is in some ways the biggest place we have lived so far, but it is one of the cheapest too, which I LOVE. We live in a 4-plex, on the end unit, and we have our own fenced in back yard, which the dogs love. Its not the fanciest of places, but it is what we need right now, so we are happy. We also just celebrated our 4th anniversary this Sep, and we can't believe how much time has flown by! Its been a fun journey so far. :)

Also, for my own update, I am almost done with school. My last day of class is on Nov 14 (two weeks away!), and then I will be testing to get my license over the next month after that. I am at a strange standpoint in my life right now. I have been to a lot of places that are potential employers, but I am starting to get the feeling that none of them are wanting to hire right now. On top of that, my current employer is going through an entire change in the staffing, so everything seems to be up in the air. So I feel like I am being thrown off of my comfort bubble. Everything is about to change in the next two months, and I guess what I am feeling right now is confusion. I don't really know what exactly I want to do right now. Do I want to go back to school again and get my massage therapy license to add to my resume? Do I want to look for work in cosmetology, or do I want to just work in optical? Or, do I want to try teaching dance? I feel like there are so many choices, and I don't know quite what to do with myself. There is a girl in my class at school who applied to work at Disney and just got hired, and I am so jealous that I didn't think of it first. lol. There are two other girls in my class that are opening up their own special occasion company, which is an idea I've had to do for a long time. I am not much of a competitive person, so I get nervous competing for positions and careers. I also struggle with putting myself out there, I guess I'm afraid I will get hurt, but I think I need to really take a look at what I want and just do it. The question is, what do I want? (Once I find out I'll let you guys know.)

For Micah, he is getting into a really good place for his career, he finally got his foot in the door at the hospital, and he is really excited about it. Being at the hospital, is also putting him in the position to meet people higher up, so that next time another position opens he will already have a heads up for applying. I'm very proud of him at how hard he works.

Right now I feel that although life is crazy and busy working 12-13 hour days every day, I still have a lot to be grateful for. We are both healthy, and we are happy. All too often I see people who don't have such luxuries and I become more grateful that I do. I am married to a wonderful man who loves me and treats me well. I couldn't ask for more. :)

Last night we attended a Halloween party, and we dressed as Harry and Hermionie. Here is a pic. :)

Have a great day!~Meghan
