Howdy!! How are you guys? I have been doing good but have had a couple of days where I just really miss my family. Will and I have been keeping pretty busy which helps me on the hard days. We have been taking walks down by the river after supper every night and that reminds me a little bit of home. I sure do miss ALL of those lakes! A couple of Mondays ago I had the opportunity to go down to Salt Lake City with one of my friends here and that was a lot of fun. She is from a fairly large city as well and just moved to Evanston so I have been able to connect with her. We went down there and spent the day at a beautiful outdoor mall. It was a refreshing time and fun to hang out and have some girl time.
This past weekend I had to say good-bye to one of my other friends that I met here in Evanston and that was really tough. Just as I was really developing a firm friendship I had to say good-bye. I am so excited to see where God is going to take them and I know that our friendship will continue through the distance. I feel like God is teaching me a lot when it comes to friendships. Being a very shy and reserved person, it tends to take a long time for me to be able to fully open up. A lot of the time I miss the familiarity of the friends I had back home. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer...it's just how I have been feeling lately. I feel so blessed to have made as many friends as I have already and I am excited to see how God will develop each and everyone of them.
This week Will and I have the opportunity to watch the cutest little puppy ever. Her name is Katy and she is so much fun! I am so thankful that we were able to watch her because I really want a dog. It gives me a friend to hang out with during the day! For those of you who didn't hear how the jobs turned out, I got the one day a week nanny job! Thank you God for the income you have provided for me. I am now waiting to here back from a daycare here in town so if you want to pray about that for us we would really appreciate it! Thank you!
I miss you all and hope to here from all of you soon!
