Transitions...

So life has been very interesting since I've moved out to Texas. I was looking for a job for a while and finally nearly 2 months after I arrived here I was hired at Sprint to be a Lead Retail Consultant. I've been in training for this position last week and every day so far this week. I've learned to appreciate my 10 minute commute to my store...since I have to drive an hour each way to training.

In the middle of beginning a job and getting back to regular life after my family left, I had to go and break my foot. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it yet, but I'm going to get it xrayed tomorrow or the next day. You would think that after a week it would be a lot better...well, the swelling and bruising and pain haven't really changed. You can pray I just tore ligaments or something! My fear is that I really did a good number on it and need to get my foot set. This would be horrible for me right now since I just started a job. I wouldn't be able to do my job if I needed to use crutches. Dad did order me a big time mega boot, the kind I would get at the doctor. It arrived today. I tried it on and my foot felt better in it. I don't understand how that happened, but it sure did!

I'm just over this whole foot thing. I know I did it a week ago tonight, but goodness gracious! It's very inconvenient and painful...

In other news.. One thing I have learned is Texas weather is ridiculous. You can never really go by the weather channel because it changes every day. For example...yesterday was gorgeous and in the 70s...This morning it was gorgeous, but in the 60s...Tonight it snowed and sleeted and it's currently below freezing. Tomorrow's high is supposedly 49 (I'll believe it when I see it). Crazy! I was happy tonight though...I was home alone and I got to light my very first fire in the fireplace. You see, living in Florida all my life...well, there's not much fireplace action. In fact, there isn't a fireplace at my parent's house. We never really had a need for one.

So it was a relaxing evening. I crocheted while watching tv while the fire was, well, on fire. I nice night indeed.

It's time for bed! I have to wake up early tomorrow to face the hour long commute. Oh, and by the way...Dallas traffic is ridiculous. I thought Orlando was bad. Ha! Orlando is nothing compared to traffic out here!

G'night! :)

Your mercy found me, Upon the broken road, And lifted me beyond my failing, Into Your glory, My sin and shame dissolved, And now forever Yours I'll stand. In love never to end, To call You more than Lord, Glorious friend. So I throw my life upon all You are, Cause I know You gave it all for me, And when all else fades, My soul will dance with You, Where the love lasts forever.

"One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple." Psalm 27:4
