Well 2 prayers have been answered in big ways since Saturday. This morning I secured an apartment! Hallelujah! The land lady hopes to have it ready for me by May 1, which is Sunday. That would be insane if it's ready. It should be ready for sure by Wednesday, one week from today. I am so elated that I've actually been dizzy for the past hour haha. I knew God would come through, but I was beginning to wonder when exactly. So this apartment is 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, living room, kitchen, and on the 2nd floor. This is so much more than I have now! I have to say, I'm probably the most excited about having an oven/stove. :) Little things make me happy. The most important thing is that it has a roof and walls and I won't be homeless! Oh, and it's in the same complex that Kevin lives in. That should be pretty fun!
Another prayer was answered on Saturday. I got word that I was accepted for a nannying job that pays very well. The catch is that it doesn't start until June 25. I'm so thankful to have this but now I'm looking for some type of nannying job that I can do until then. I've met with 2 families who both need part time help in the past 2 days so hopefully one of those will work out. If it doesn't, I know God will provide in another way.
So that can be added to the prayer list- summer job until 25th and a teaching job for the fall! Thank goodness the list is getting smaller!
Now my task is to figure out what I need for the apartment and how I can get most of the stuff from Spartanburg to here on Graduation weekend. I don't have much here so I'll be adventure living with an air mattress and no pots or pans for the first week or so :) But, when I pick my mom up at the airport Wednesday night, I'll get to bring her straight to the new apartment and not to the basement! :) On that note, does anyone have an extra air mattress I can borrow while she's here? I know Kevin has one in his apartment, but I think I'll need another one for my mom too.
Anyways, that's all for now. I'm so excited and relieved to have a place!!! Now, we just have to get me in there! I guess maybe Kevin and I will spend our 6 year anniversary packing up my stuff and getting it ready to move :)Yes, our 6 year anniversary is Saturday! :)
Oh, one last thing: I had my exit presentation last night for student teaching. When I got there, there was a class meeting in the room so we had to go to another building and find an empty room. Of course the one we went to did not have a working projector for the powerpoint. So I put it in the computer and we sat around and I gave my presentation. Very odd way to do it, but it worked. I'm done with school! :)
Just make up your list: sofa, table, chairs, pictures, lamps, sheets/blankets/towels,pillows, etc. and we will get it there. Also need a list of pots/pans, plates, glasses, utensils and appliances (toaster, microwave, blender, coffee maker etc. that we can pick up locally. You will be accumulating stuff for the next 20 years, so be prepared to search out the bargains to get started! Mom is taking the car and trailer to meet you, so be sure Kevin has some strong-backed friends to help unload!
