What an awesome day I had today! I had fun at work today, we had a special all day training. I got to let loose some of my pent up creative energy right at the start of the day when the trainer gave us stock paper and smelly markers (yum) and instructed us to make name tags. I started with my personalized bubble letters in purple (grape) then colored them in with red (cherry). I added a red daisy with a purple stem and squealed with delight inwardly when the spunky, enthusiastic trainer introduced herself as Valerie and said we were free to play with the sparkly pipe-cleaners and mini Play-Doh jars on each table. I decided right then it would be an awesome day! Plus she put baskets of candy on each of the three tables, we could wear jeans, lunch was provided, AND we got out early!!! Oh yeah and did I mention we get to do it again tomorrow? Man, I am so grateful to be reunited with the people in my newhire training class, it is so nice to go to work and actually get to socialize and talk to the people you work with not just see them in passing week after week before putting on that headset and taking calls from disgruntled cable customers! lol Then when I came home I was surprised to find Jay there working on his business plan with his laptop set up on my $9 coffee table from salvation army. lol I love that place. He was so excited to tell me about finding a more affordable apartment than the house he had been renting that was really a little over his spending limits. We are almost done with our pre-marital counseling and this is the first place he has suggested that I had any peace about knowing I could actually live there. It is refreshing to see God work through him to give me the desires of my heart. My faith in God was increased as I realized that the place he showed me has all the things we were believing for as far as price, location, #of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. When he left, I had even more joy so I pulled out my paints and painted with ease a beautiful picture for the first time in a long time. I just took the limits off and allowed the creativity of God to flow, and I like it already. I have to go to bed now even though I really want to keep writing, but I'm picking up Cindy early. I'll write more soon. I have so much more to say.
P. S. After church Jay's son and his little brother came over and wanted to paint...I will post all the pics real soon!
