Happy

Hola Beadies & Bloggers!

Tonight I was inspired to blog by 1) the fact that I am home alone, and 2) my twin's new blog. So, here I am. I'm really pretty bad at blogging, mostly because my life is not that interesting, and also because I have found an internet-self-expression home in Twitter. It's short, to the point, and random. Just how I like it. If you really want to read daily updates from me, go here.

Anyway, I am very happy to announce that right now I am very happy! I've been happily employed by the Union Gospel Mission for three months now. I love my job, the people, the organization, and the atmosphere. I was just telling Kate this today, but the longer I work there, the more I love it. It's just so encouraging to work at a place where you can directly see the fruits of your labor and the people affected by it. How different that is from my previous position! I work in an actual office, with a normal schedule, cool co-workers, and I still have independence but with support when I need it. We pray before meetings and send out prayer requests in emails. I can attend graduation ceremonies and hear inspiring stories monthly. I could join a choir made of clients and staff and sing at local churches. I ride the elevator each day with women and children who are changing their lives in our programs. It's awesome. I advertise for them all the time in my non-work-related conversations, they should start paying me extra. ;)

My personal life is going really well too! Toby and I are coming up on our 1 year wedding anniversary! Yay. I can't believe this year is already over, but I guess I probably say that every year. Imagine how fast this next year will go - there won't be any big changes (well, let's hope) like last year. In the last two years, I graduated college, got engaged, got married, worked three different jobs, moved twice, got a new car, got in a car accident, went to Hawaii, and got pregnant. JUST KIDDING!! Whew, hopefully that won't be happening for at least three more years. Although I do feel the baby fever spreading everywhere else. We are content with our family of two for now. :) I like my job, Toby likes his job, we have lots of free time and get plenty of sleep. It's really the way to live if you ask me.

I would love if one of you would come visit me up in Minnesota (the "magical Minnesota" if you remember my summer Vlog of '09). I love my life here, but it is definitely lacking my kindred spirit beady sisters. You three are so special to me and cannot be replaced. We have a newly refurnished guest bedroom with brand new sheets, bedspread, and mattress...so yeah. Basically it's a hot vacation spot.

I love and miss each of you so much!

Your sister,

Heather
