today was an interesting day. i had the day off because of MLK and all i wanted to do was relax, enjoy being home and do random chores that can be done while sitting in one place (folding laundry, putting together a budget). but then i hit a dilemma, i didn't have a picture for today. so i decided to have fun with self-portraits, kinda (even though i spent all day in my pajamas and never put on make-up or brushed my hair). here is a picture of me that i took using the mirror in my living room, kinda fun - totally nerdy, yes i know.
to prove i did do something productive, this is a pic of my lap top with my budget for next month - so many weddings this year, need to save! that is my boyfriend's thumb, encouraging me in my goal - yes, he is an accountant and oh so proud of my spreadsheet :)
it’s a funny thing when you look back how even when you aren't asking for it, God manages to order each and every step. in college i fell in love with the city upon first glance. i called home and said, "i’m going to live in chicago when i graduate!" it was tough finding a job but, after "tactfully stalking" the CEO of my former agency, i landed an internship and eventually was hired on full-time. thankfully i have very supportive parents who let me pack up my car and drive from connecticut to an unknown city for a less than guaranteed opportunity. when i got here i lived in a one bedroom apartment with a very gracious sorority sister of mine. little did we know, that was the beginning of an unbelievable friendship and a roommate adventure that spanned over four years! the Lord opened many doors and opportunities that just kept telling me this is where i was supposed to be. i don't know what the next four years will bring but i do know that if when i didn't even acknowledge my God He was taking care of me, how much more will He now- praise the Lord!
2006 was a year of amazing growth, good and tough- none of which was documented. this is my blog- a place to document my 2007.
