I was looking at some old Facebook posts tonight, mostly from the summer of 2013, when I was back in Arkansas and trying desperately to move back to Orlando. I had no idea what life was going to be like. Could I truly live here on my own without Dave or anyone else here to "take care" of me? Would I be able to get my old job back or get a new job? The fact that I haven't hardly had time to catch up on TV shows, let alone continue blogging, should be a good indicator of what those answers are. But in case you're like me and need things spelled out for you, the answer is yes, I have had some help but ultimately, I feel like I'm on my own. And yes, I was able to go back to parade full time and have my big girl benefits back! Realizing how much my life has changed made me want to do a quick update for everyone on where I am in my rollercoaster life.
This new year, I'm aiming to look at what I currently have in my life and not focus so much on what's to come. I was talking with a friend at work today and she got to go to the Passion Conference in Atlanta this past weekend. During our lunch break, she shared with me everything she learned and what she felt God was telling her to do during this season of her life. We had identical resolutions, to be grateful for all God has supplied us with and be content with what's happening in our lives right now. And that's not to say that we won't try to move forward and strive for more but we also know that we don't want to miss out on what's happening right now. God has me EXACTLY where He wants me and when He's ready for me to move forward, He'll give me the push and the tools necessary to do so as long as I stay in communication with Him.
So to sum up life since last time I blogged, I'm so thankful to be back full time at Universal, I'm beginning to find comfort in a new church, I've formed new friendships and kept the old ones, I'm hoping to go on more vacations this summer (back to Key West I hope!), and I'm still so incredibly happy living in Orlando. I love visiting Arkansas but I'm here in the Sunshine State to stay! I'm open to other cities in Florida if the opportunities come up in the future but I enjoy the sun and constant warm weather too much to ever leave the state so don't even try to convince me otherwise :) it's so cliche but I wish I could tell that grieving newlywed from the summer of 2013 to just give it some time, life will turn around and get right back on track. I do hope to one day find love again but for right now, being on my own isn't so bad, especially when I plan trips for this coming year with family and friends (did I mention I wanna go back to Key West?)
I still love you David Adams and I hope I'm making you proud as I continue writing my life story!
