Well, guess what?! I got a job! The one I was really hoping for at the Helen Matthes Library in Effingham. I am their new teen assistant. I had my first day today. It went well. I am going to be busy helping to prepare and be responsible for the Summer Reading Program (last summer they had 900 readers!) and many other programs and functions involving teens, children, and their families. I think I am going to enjoy it. I really like my boss and the people I am going to be working with too! They are really friendly and kind. This job was a Godsend! (I know there's always the potential bad day lurking around. But I'll make it through)
I am very content with life. God has blessed me with this job. He has provided great friendships; I have enjoyed reconnecting with people in my 'home' area. I am slowly adjusting to the change. Honestly, it was super hard at first and some days are still sad. But I am so happy because I know I am in the right place.
Well, here are some pictures of the not too distant past. I have not forgotten you, dear friends! I wish I had access to all of my pix from my computer but these are a few of the ones that made it to IL on my camera. anyhow.
