God NEVER lets me down!

A week ago tomorrow, I had to say good bye to my parents and little Brandon. That was the most emotional day I have had in a long time. I was going to be strong and not cry, but knowing I would not see them anytime soon made it all the more harder. They went to church with me on Sunday and we met an amazing pastor that has a Campus ministries on campus! We went and ate lunch and then it was time to say the good byes. When my dad came to hug me I lost it because not very often do I see him cry and he was crying for me!!
I got home and went straight to my room and a few minutes later my phone rang. My dad called because he forgot to pray for me and needed to! What an amazing Dad I have. My mother kept me posted all the way home and Brandon kept texting me telling he missed me!
Yes I am ready for a new adventure and Yes i am happy I have family that is there to support me. I talk to them all everyday and can not wait till I can wrap my arms around them again!
On a lighter note, I have spent the week looking for a job. A lot of places in Laramie are hiring, but most of them are day shifts. Because of school, I need a night shift job and one willing to work with me. I have applied everywhere from grocery stores, to hotels, down to gas stations, and food places. I had been praying to find something and something fast, but after a week of nothing I was getting discouraged. In a book I am reading, it talked about how God will answer the prayers of your family and friends. My mother sent out a massive email and within the next day I got my answer.


8am on a Saturday morning, I am sleeping. I got a phone call and was very temped not to answer it. But I did and it was Rob from Arbys. We set up an interview at 10:30 and I was so excited I could not go back to sleep. I called my mom and told her to keep praying I had an interview. He was pleased at my experience (thanks to the Garage cafe) and loved how I was so cheerful and smiley. After a bit he was like "You know what, I am just going to give you the job. this is the best interview I have had" WOOT WOOT I was excited.
I immediately called my mom and dad and shared the good news and was so excited. I am not sure when I start but he said he would let me know! God is amazing and I am so proud to know Him. Thank you all who kept praying for a job. 
I am trying a new church out tomorrow and cannot wait to see What God has to bring to me. God is amazing and I am glad I know Him.

Saying My Good-Byes

We headed out for Wyoming on Thursday after we stopped and had breakfast at The Garage Cafe. I think that was the hardest part of saying good bye. I have a very special family there that has taken me under their wing and I have became part of their family and they have became part of mine. Uncle Scott and Aunt Heather and their boys have a special place in my heart and saying good bye to them was as hard as its going to be to say good bye to my parents.
Then it was time to head out. I drove my car and my parents drove theirs. Open road, a Dutch Bros, and my music on, made it so easy to think of all that I am leaving behind. Yes I do know it's to better my life, but Good-Byes are NEVER easy. I am sad to go, Excited to start a new adventure, Nervous of starting out new, Scared of my family leaving, Anxious to meet new people and start new friendships.  I have numerous types of emotions and have new clue what to do with them.
We had some car problems with my car right before we hit Snowvile, but after trying to fix it, we decided to just keep traveling on. God has provided us with good weather, nice roads, not terrible car troubles, and family time. He is a great God.
We stayed at Rock Springs last night after we met up with some friends and had dinner. We got up this morning and headed out towards Laramie. We arrived about 1:30 and settled down in our hotel. We went to show my dad where I would be living and got to sign the papers and look at the apartment. Unfortunately I did not get the room mates I thought, But I am hoping these three are great to live with. I am on the third floor (this girl is not in shape) and I move in tomorrow. I am pretty excited, but I know tomorrow night will be very hard and emotional.
I am looking for a job and after 2 years at the same job, I had to redo my resume. That was a nightmare in its self. :) Praying that I find something fast and something I will enjoy doing. (that's about anything) :)
I am headed off to bed because I have a big day tomorrow. I hope you can keep up on my life here as I will try hard to keep you all posted. I do have my new address if anyone needs it. I love you all and miss you all back home! God is Good and He has big plans for me! Waiting to see what they are, now that's the hard part!
