I GOT A FULL TIME NANNY JOB!!

i will be starting on August 30th. i will work Monday through Friday from 6:15a to 3:30p being a full time nanny to the best little boy and im SO excited. my new man is almost 6 months old and he is a handful because of some health issues he is facing but he sure is precious. my days are soon to become full of: poop, bottles, spit up, naps, drooling smiles, changing clothes (mine and his), playing outside, reading books, more naps, crying, singing, hard times, tantrums, learning moments and tons of wonderful memories and im sure thats all, minus a lot, before lunch even! i really am excited. its like having a child but then still being able to go home to be myself at night.

 ive been praying about finding a job that i will actually enjoy and that the Lord would open up for me, and 2 days later i get a call from a friend of Kathy’s asking if i would be interested in something like this. uh, HECK YES! granted, i was real nervous about meeting them and talkng over expectations – and like a normal family they were hesitant about leaving their child with me all day without doing some research also. Thanks to everyone who gave a reference for me, it really meant alot to hear such good things from yall and it really helped out brandon and kathy as well.

i absolutely love his parents also. i cant wait to develop a sweet friendship with them as this job goes on longer. im sure you will hear TONS about this as the year goes on!

im planning on working at lifeway a couple nights a week and that money will go straight to savings to pay off my student loan. without any extra money i make, just that should pay off the $5000 in about 13 months :)

also, joey moved out yesterday. he is only about 10 minutes away but mom was crazy all last week and im sure she will be for the next week or so. he seems to be really excited about. now if only i can work it out that i can move out this year we will be set.
