More Changes :)

Well hello everyone! I have had quite the exciting past couple of days. I had Tuesday and Wednesday off and then had my second day of work today!

Tuesday was a little bit of a rougher day. I had to take my dad to the airport to fly home and I think it finally hit me, I'm here and no one else is. I felt kind of lonely and sad, but after talking to Tyler, he made me feel a lot better :) He has that special way of saying just what I need to hear when I need to hear it! He also told me that just because I am not living "near" anyone, doesn't mean that I won't have contact with them or just forget about them all together. Then Tuesday night I decided to try out Marathon United Methodist Church. Kara had sent me an e-mail saying she looked at their website and saw they had a "Tuesday night Happy Hour" which was a contemporary worship service. I thought this would be perfect since I have to work on Sunday mornings. Well.....it def. wasn't what I was expecting. I was thinking it was going to be a worship service but really all it is, is a time to come and sit quietly in the sanctuary (in the dark) and listen to music....oh yeah, and there was only 3 other people there! Now even though I thought it was totally weird when I walked in, it ended up being a great time for me to just sit and reflect and have some nice good quiet time, which I hadn't been able to do in a while. After the music was done playing, the 3 others there...Pastor Peggy, Margo, and Wyatt...asked if I wanted to join them in a prayer. It ended up being kind of fun and they informed me of a women's bible study that meets on Tuesday mornings, which I can come to because I have that day off! Although, Margo told me it would be great to have such a "youthful" person there, so I'm not sure how old these women are....but they might be the best network I could ask for! So, that is next Tuesday's plan! I will def. plan to keep you updated on that!

Wednesday, I went to the beach!!!! IN JANUARY!! And didn't freeze...I actually got some sun! That is just too cool!

Then today was my second day of work! I got to be in fish house and then prep meds all by myself already! I also got to have a meeting with Linda, who is basically my boss, and she went over the "plan" for me. Each day I just feel more and more welcome!

I also got a second job today!!! I am going to be working the front desk at the Yellowtail Inn. The owner of this property also owns 2 others called Casa Del Sol, and Bonefish Inn! I was lucky enough to land the job because of the guy who I am living under. He gave my name to his buddy who owns all these places....I really think its going to be the perfect second job for me! I won't have to worry about doing too much because its just sitting at the desk, answering the phones, and checking in guests. Its also right across the street from my street, so I could technically walk to work it is so close! The extra money will be great and I have the time now to do it, so I figured why not try and save while I can! Hopefully I'll be able to learn the computer system pretty fast. I also think this job will come with some pretty sweet benefits, such as having its own Private beach, and maybe getting you guys a deal on some rooms when you come visit me!! :) Here's a couple of pictures of the place! You should def. check it out...






This is just one of the places you can stay! It is preeetttyyy sweet!

Well I must go now because Bear keeps walking over the keyboard and biting at the screen. He likes to chase the mouse and the letters as they type....its pretty funny, but makes writing this a little difficult. Real quick though, I wanted to give you guys a weather update! Its pouring down rain here right now, but its a chilly 69 degrees! :) The high tomorrow is only 67, and people are bringing out the winter coats....I can only hope to feel like that one day!

  1. That is great news... Riley, Kayley and Cody say hi. Kayley wants to know when you're next appointment is for your "makeover", lol!

    Glad that things are starting to click and you are settling in. Time will fly by and it will be time for Tyler to visit before you know it.
