Well, as you know, I graduated in May. My best friend, April came up from FL to see me and we had such a great time. I just told her that I wish we would have taken more pictures because, let's face it, we don't see each other but maybe once every 2-3 years or so. I think we were both tired though. For real, that weekend was the busiest weekend of my life. Well, maybe not my life. But close! Anyway, great weekend with friends and family and I couldn't have asked for a better graduation weekend...except to add a couple more friends who couldn't make it. Here are a couple pics from that weekend:
The best friends! -minus a few
Bea, the sweet 94 yr old I lived with for 10 months. Love her so much!
And this is what happens when your gas tank straps fall off and you're waiting for your amazing uncle to come help. I've got the best family.
And now to WI. I've lived here about 2 months now. Wow, can it really be that long?! Feels like I just got here. Since I've been here, I've been helping out a lot around the house, job searching, and I started beauty school. The job search went well. I am now a sales floor rep at a clothing store and will also be starting a job at a call center next Monday. As for beauty school, I started July 1st. Three days in I wondered if I was really going for the right reasons and realized I needed to get out soon. I felt like such a flake! I don't want to be a quitter, so maybe someday I will go back. As of now, I'm just excited to start paying off my loans! Is that weird?
My relaxing 4th of July.
The day I realized I wanted to quit school, I thought music is my real passion. So I went home, played my guitar, threw a temper tantrum that my wrist was hurting, and drove off to Guitar Center to definitely, that day buy a new guitar. When I got there, I asked for help and this guy came to help me. Of course, I cant really buy a guitar at the moment, but it was nice talking to this guy. He later asked if I wanted to play/sing in his band. I just thought, "How perfect". A worship band. God really brings people together at the right time. ...And last night we had our 3rd practice. I don't think I've ever had so much fun jamming with people. Of course I miss jamming with my college friends, but we never had a full band backing us. There is another girl in the band who sings. She and I sound really good together and last night were talking about maybe just jamming sometime on our own. She lives a few cities away, so we'll see how things go. For now, we're having a blast.
So even though things aren't going exactly how I planned, or thought things might go here, I know God's got a better plan. Its just waiting for Him to lead that's the trick. I'm being reminded that God uses all things for good. "There is no circumstance in life from which we cannot learn if we'll just have the right attitude." -Rick Warren

Love it, Han! Thanks for sharing with us about your life.
ReplyDeleteI'm also learning those same lessons. That God has a great plan, and even though we don't know what it is or even see what's going on, we have to take each day by faith knowing that He knows what's best for us. :-)
Love you!
