so i had another blog all typed up...and blogger...messed it up..agh! so i'll try again...
happy friday everyone! :) this past week has been SO crazy and busy i don't think i could even fit anything else into it...really...
well the job. if you read my last blog....it was about me not having a job here with Tom anymore ( sad I know :( ). of course anyone tells you that you don't have a job all you want to do is panic...really. i tried my best to put my best foot forward but i totally wanted to FREAK OUT! well Tuesday, I had a meeting with Tom and Katie ( the head of HR). We had a sit down talk just about what was going to take place. here are the facts. i would have a month to find something here at the bank. but the sad thing is that there are really only 2 spots open at this moment. so after the meeting i went and talked to Rachel ( the other lady in HR) and she was great! She was like " we are going to take care of you ", " don't panic we will find something for you ". So she called a branch and set something up for me to meet them the very next morning! The only thing that was worried was that they were going to make a call that very next day...they had already gone through meeting people and interviewing. i was like CRAP! so the next morning i went and had my interview, i thought that it went well...i just didn't want to get my hopes up because i didnt know what was going to happen it might have been to late. so she told me we will tell you today which way we are going...i was like man this is happening all so fast...so the rest of the day...i was SO jumpy. i just wanted to know. well i am very happy to say that...I GOT THE JOB!!! :):):):). I will now be ( well on Nov 2nd) a Full Time Teller at the West Mercury Branch!!!!! I am just so happy to have a job!!! I really wanted to stay here at Old Point. I love it here...I mean I have been here for 3 years...I mean I know that one day in the very near future I am going to be a teacher. That is my passion and I know that I want to do that! Me being at the bank...it is just for now. I am just SO blessed!!! I am so thankful that the Lord is SO very faithful to me!! I am so blessed by a God who blesses me!! I can not thank Him enough for all he gives me in my life. I am very sad at the same time excited. I am so going to miss working here at the Kiln Creek branch. I love it here. I love these people like they are my family...it will be very weird not to see them everyday!!!! I am ready for this new challenge in life. I am ready to be a teller again...and just so blessed to still have a job!
" And the same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus"
well i guess i should let you guys in on my life...my job here @ Old Point...well is up in the air...AKA...someday soon i won't have a job here...maybe?!?! friday afternoon tom my boss ( who is just awesome) had a little sit down talk about my future here with him. well looks like there isn't going to be a future with him atleast. he told me that i needed to start to look for other jobs. not really what you wanna here on a Friday afternoon huh?!? but well they need a licensed sales assistant ( which is am not). i did take the test to try and get my license...but failed. i mean going in on something that you have NO idea about cold turkey, and are expected to pass this really hard test....yeah not for me. i tried my best and did not pass. so what does this mean for me now?! well good news, they aren't kicking me out the door. i still have my job with tom for now ( tomorrow i will have even more information on the whole get up...i get to have a meeting with HR :) - oh joy...) so buisness as usual. they do want to keep me around ( aka - keep me at the bank) so they are going to work with me and try and get me something in the bank...only problem is...there isn't much avaliable...that is what scares me. but i mean im hoping to have a job still with the bank, which means that im going back to being a teller again. which i am totally ok with. i will just have to be retrained on things...which will be strange to be a teller again but i welcome it with open arms...i will be blessed to have any job. what i hope takes place is that they have room somewhere here at the bank for me. i have been at the bank now for 3 years...and well i know people here, and all that jazz. starting a new job, i mean we all know how that is?!?! stressful...i want to stay here at the bank until i can do what i need to do to become a teacher!! it is true...i want to be a teacher...i got off the path of doing that, but now i have found my way back...not everyone gets it right the first time right?! i have look into taking test, and now are getting ready for them...so this is all a lot of stuff. but the thing is, that this is my job...the way of life, what i wake up every morning to do. so well i kinda need a job, benefits you know?! so...if it isn't something...it is always something else...so i ask that you keep my job in your prayers...it is a bit awkward here at work...but i am dealing :) i am hoping and praying for all this to work out in the best way if i do stay here at old point or if i do head somewhere else...all i can do is leave it up to God to lead me in the right direction...
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as memebers of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. ~ Colossians 3:15 (NLT)

so it took me like FOREVER to do the last post...and it cut out things...RANDOM! i wanted to tell you linz and rob got a new VAN. it is wolfpack red!! it is awesome. Linz is offcially a soccer mom :) i told her i was going to put a soccer sticker on the van...she gave me a dirty look...hmm...maybe she didn't like it?!?! Hehehehe.... :)
dear blogger,
next time i want to make a post, please be nice and let me post it. with all of my information. thanks.
the title of my blog...is a lyric from Paramore song Careful. Can I tell you I have not stopped listening to that CD since I got it like...3 weeks ago?! Oh MAN. I love love love love love the CD!!! I think my favorite song on the CD would have to be...the only exception...ohhh let me add so you can hear it :)
i dunno the CD is amazing...i mean really there isn't a bad song on the CD. but for me...i swear when i heard it i was like dang...i feel the same way!
" Maybe I know , somewhere Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
with loneliness
Cuz none of it was worth the risk, well
You are the only exception" <3
amazing lyrics if i do say so myself...kudos to them for a great song.
haha well i had no idea where this blog was going to go...but life these last week or so has been crazy eventful and just plain fun. well let's start on the job...well i want to be a teacher, i went to school with my sister on Monday ( we had off at the bank :)) and i loved every minute of it!!!it fit like a glove, and i totally should have just stayed with teaching when i had the chance ( yes we all make the wrong choices sometimes :)) the kids were great. i watched, helped with stuff. i got to go to a history class! it was great. i miss it so. i am very excited to see what is to come!! i can't wait to be a teacher! i get to do two of my passion: hanging with teenagers and teach them history :) woohoo!! i went to the VLM( virginia living museum) this weekend with Rob, Linz and B. I need to upload my pics!! You need to see the cuteness of my nephew ! i love that kid <3
I am also reading a great book...
very good book. i am learning so much from it...it is amazing! i love learning about myself!! :) these are things that are such common things that you need in your relationship for a good and healthy relationship...they are so simple...it is crazy...you should pick it up :) i had someone give me mine :) but so far great read!! :)
Church has been AMAZING...this past Sunday, not a dry eye in the whole place...we are going "deep" and it is just simple things here...last night in community group we were talking about " stuipd obdience"... like as if you mom tells you what to do...and you give her lip back...just doing it..." Stuipd Obdience" it is the simple things in life what God tells us to do...and we don't do...we kick and we scream...to do everything but what God says. we need to just shut up and do it. one of my favorie verses we went over last night...
" Do not be anious about anything, but in everything , by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"
~ Philippians 4:6
I try and do my best with not worrying and freaking out, but sometimes it isn't as easy. i needed that yesterday BIG time. that God has it under control...so why am i freaking out about this and that... God is incontrol. He is BIG ENOUGH to take on my problems, my worries, and my freak outs. i need to have "stupid obdience" towards God. im just learning so much lately...it is like information overload...i love it. i love that i feel for once in a really long time...my life is on the right track! and it feels SO good :) My student community group is GREAT!!! i love these girls...they are so cute. they are great. i love every minute of hanging with them. it is never a dull moment!!!

But that is not what my blog is about...i just want to say that friends are amazing! i mean you knew that right?! :) hehe. but lately...i am just so blessed with amazing friends who have stuck by my side, with life and it's many turns, it's hills and it's valleys. i am glad that i have people in my life to help me out, to look out for me, or just call for advice. i am glad that i can go to them and talk to them about my problems, or ask for help or whatever i need. they are the most important thing in life ( yes besides your family...which i love love love my family :)). i just can't say thank you enough to them. some of them i have lost touch with, some of them we are back into each other lives. i just want to say that i am so thankful to all of you who have put something into my life. you have made me the person that i am today, and for that i am eternally greatful.
