Love.

Blog, I have neglected you. Please accept my apologies. Friends, it has been a crazy couple of weeks. I moved to New Albany and am currently residing in the home of my brother, sister-in-law, and their precious baby. They are very kind to take me in. I started a full-time nanny job, which I love. I’m pretty sure I was made to be a nanny, there is nothing better. I still haven’t found an apartment but there are some possibilities popping up, I’d appreciate some prayers on that. So all in all it’s been a great move. It was really a crazy situation, I have had a hard time processing that it has all fallen into place. And really the whole move showed me how completely faithful God is. So. Let me share.

Last year my brother and sister-in-law shared with me that they were expecting a baby. I was very excited because this meant that I would be an aunt. But they lived over an hour away, and every time I went to visit we talked about the possibility of me moving. I always thought it was a good idea but didn’t take it too seriously. I had a pretty good life going in Lexington and I don’t really do things out of my comfort zone or out of normalcy. You see, every time I go to Applebee’s I get spinach & artichoke dip followed by chicken tenders. Every time I go to Taco bell I get a number 2 with chicken. Every time I wake up I do the exact routine. Every time I go to bed I do the exact routine. Every weekday has designated TV shows that are either recorded or watched. Every time I get on my computer I open Safari, go to facebook, go to twitter, go to yahoo, go to aol, and then back to facebook. I am a creature of habit and routine. I rarely change things up, so moving was just not really something I considered. Even though I did want to be closer to them. So I kind of put it on a one year plan, I’d wait a year and see where I was. Now at the time I was babysitting the twins everyday, and as you may know, I love the twins like crazy. Those babies were the highlight of every day, I couldn’t imagine leaving them. Well then came January when my precious baby nephew was born, and man is he cute. So I was a little more conflicted, because the thought of living far away from them broke my heart, but the thought of moving just gave me anxiety. Now I should tell you that I’m at a place in my life where I can do pretty much anything. I have yet to go to college, because I frankly don’t see the point in wasting the money when I have no earthly clue what I would study. And really there is nothing tying me down to stay in one place. While I was up in New Albany visiting with the family after Parker was born, the twins mom, Nakada (who I also love), called me to let me know she had finally made the decision to stay home with the babies. This wasn’t out of the blue either, she had talked about it for awhile, and you could tell that that’s where her heart was. And I could not have been more happy for her! Well that meant that after a month I wouldn’t be working full-time anymore. At that point I had to decide if I wanted to look for a job in Lexington or New Albany. I chose New Albany. I told Travis and Natalie, and they offered their spare room. I put my name on a Nanny website, and I got an e-mail. I had an interview. And I got a job. All within a couple weeks. And after another month, I moved. Seriously, crazy. I cannot believe how faithful God was in aligning everything I needed to make it here. I know that I didn’t make all of that happen on my own, and it was all in perfect timing. It was awesome.

So that is what’s new. Now I need to work on getting out of my comfort zone. And don’t think I’ve forgotten about my list, it’s still very much alive. I think I should tackle easy things first. I ate a burger, now who can teach me to drive stick or change my oil?
