Thankful Thursday

Today i'm thankful for one simple thing in life, for one blessing and one thing unexpected.

* I no longer have a foot-bath every time that I shower! (making me so happy!) This miracle is made possible by my amazing Neighbor. For just a minute I will tell you about the woman who's lived across the street from us since I can remember. She has two daughters, one my age and one my sister's, so naturally i spent a lot of time at her house. She is one of the most Christian ladies I know. One time, we went on vacation and my mom asked her if she would water the plants on the front porch. We came back and not only were the plants beautiful, but the lawn was fertilized and mowed. She's amazing. She also knows many many things, for example, if you've got yourself a clogged shower drain here is the AMAZING solution.
1: Take a cup a bleach and pour it down the drain. (When i did this to the tub, be grossed out: the bleach took a minute to drain, eww!)
2: Wait 30 minutes
3: Boil a pot of water and dump it down the drain.
4: Repeat as necessary. I had to do it twice because the tub in the apartment hasn't been used for several months and the gunk had time to harden (again, sick!).
5: No more foot baths when I shower!

*I got a job so easily. God must love me and want me to be happy because I came home on Monday night, applied for 6 jobs on Tuesday, got called for an interview Tuesday evening, Interviewed for it on Wednesday and started working Thursday. Beautiful, right? It's at Adventure Kid's Playcare. It's a Texas based company that does drop in child care. It's in Issaquah, and I love it! There are a variety of children who come in, all ages, ones who want to read, to play, etc. There's enough to do that keeps me busy and not bored. They promised me full time too :)

*The boy.We talk every few days. There's no schedule. One of us will usually text the other and ask if he's busy. The phone usually rings within a minute or so. Which isn't a problem as long as my phone is on vibrate. I changed the boy's ring tone and sometimes find myself listening to the song rather than answering right away. The other day I was just in a funk. I don't know why, but I called and talked to him for a few hours (there was some phone plugging in on both sides of the line) and after... He just makes me happy. I was thinking about the scariest f word there is (Future), and realized that at this point, the way I feel is pretty serious. That being sia,d it changes ALL my plans. The boy and I had this conversation when we went hiking a few weeks ago, it had to do with the fact that I've gotten along pretty well these past 24 years, me and God. That's who makes the decision and who deals with the good times and the bad, the heart breaks and discouragements. The idea of adding another imperfect mortal into the mix is pretty terrifying. But we'll see. I refuse to worry about this until the summer's out and I've got to start applying to graduate schools.

I just feel like the luckiest girl around these days :)
