He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

Greetings!

What a refreshing time at home! I have been having an awesome last couple days being at home, hanging out with friends and family and doing not much of anything. It's grand. It's made me realize some things about White Rock and going back to live there. Things that need to be changed and adjusted to make my life a whole heck of a lot more enjoyable. Like quitting Cupcakes, maybe getting a volunteer position at the aquarium and just having a more regular schedule at work. Oh and actually cooking some meals! LOL. My mom has made the best food ever including, but not limited to, steak for our Easter meal, raspberry dream cake, the Easter egg nests, stirfry rice, sausage spaghetti, broccoli and grape salad, etc. It's been great!

We have watched some movies, played some games (Trivial Pursuit which I always lose), went for a run, a walk, shopping in Red Deer, and just hanging out. I wish I never had to work. But I am coming under the impression more and more that when you find the job that you really like and enjoy getting up in the morning to go to, then you will really love your work. I am sosososososo excited to go to Florida in January - ish to school/work at the zoo college. It's a dream come true. On that I have had since I was young and is only now really becoming a reality.

A lot has to happen before that like having the money, getting the visa and making arrangements for housing and transport, etc. It will all work out though. I am sure of it. God makes all things beautiful in HIS time. It's all about Him and when I begin to focus on that and just work joyfully at what I can now, the next season in my life will come much faster and will hopefully work out rather smoothly. That being said I have learned so much from trials and obstacles that if He sent a few small ones my way, I wouldn't be heart broken. As long as I still make it to Florida in time!!!!!

Well I am off for breakfast with the Payne's and then we are heading to Red Deer this afternoon. Should be a great day!

And then basketball starts this coming week! Leia and I are really excited to coach a basketball team for 10 weeks. We have been to a couple coaches clinics/meetings and so we are ready to go. I have sure been feeling my age though, lol, because at the clinic I was demonstrating some of the drills and by the end my knees felt like pumpkins. I am not used to that stopping and starting that comes with the game. I guess it would have helped if I had been wearing the proper clothes and socks in my shoes.

Have an amazing Easter as we remember all that the LORD went through to bring us into His family. I am truly thankful for a God that cares so much!
