So I kinda wanted to bring all those Mt. Vernonians up to date on my life since I have been in Connecticut. It has been a great challenge getting to know a new place. A place like Torrington, Connecticut isn't the first place on someone's list. In fact I even got asked, "Why Connecticut." Connecticut is where my fiancee has lived pretty much his whole life. A lot of people wouldn't move to where their fiancee is, they would make that guy move to them. Well, I'm not that type of girl. I'm the type of girl that has always been up for adventure. St. Louis wasn't an adventure. It was out of God's will. I shortly found that out once I lived there because nothing fell into place. However, everything with Connecticut fell into place. I had prayed long and hard about this move because I would NEVER do something that wasn't in the plan of God, especially since what happened with Gateway. Never again since that lesson will I ever doubt God's will. Yes he brought me to a new city, friends, and far away from family, but its all in his plan. I knew I would go where God called me to. What I really hated though, was how so many people doubted it. I kinda look back and really kind of wonder why they did because everything worked out. Yeah I had many days where I said, "God is this really your will." Every time I said that though God really showed me it was and I knew to stop asking. I may have went through so many days where I have wanted to be at home, but wouldn't we all? Home is a great place and its a place we like to go back to, but I know I'm suppose to be where I am. Plus I'm happy where I am. I have a good support system here and friends that I have made. It doesn't mean that everyone else is replaced and that I don't think about my family and friends everyday. I do, and I miss them very much, but I have to look past that and to the great things that are happening and about to happen. God has a plan for my life and I'm willing to take whatever he will give me, even if people doubt me and think I'm wrong. I just wanted to get a lot of that off my chest because I haven't been able to say that.
On the bright side, I have a job at Panera. Its going really well. I am still getting the hang of everything and everyone's preferences. I really like it though and the people are really nice.
I also am very happy at Sean and Crystals where I'm living. I live with Crystal till they get married and then I will have my own place. Hopefully before then, because we are going to start saving after Christmas. We just had a few things we needed to take care of first. They have been really good to us, and I'm glad we are all on the same page.
The church is also a blessing. I love the pastor and his wife. They have been really helpful in me adjusting and just great people to talk to. We are doing marital counseling through the pastor here and decided we wanted to wait a year on the wedding. As of now I don't really have anything done. I know we are getting married out here and I'm not even discussing anymore of that because no one's happy with it but all I have to say to that is that they will get over it. It's my big day and thats final. I don't even care where I have it as long as I marry Austin.
So overall everything is working out great. I will be coming home January 27-30. Hope to see everyone then! Miss and love you all!
