New City!

First week in a new city!

After an 18 hour and 36 minute drive were home, and although I’ve only been here for exactly a week- I couldn’t be any happier with the way that God has blessed us during this transition period. Of course, there have been unexpected turns but they haven’t been setbacks. God has us in the cradle of His hands, and although adjusting to a new city can be both adventurous and hard, I am so excited to see what He has in store for me!

I’ve always lived on the east coast, and nothing can take away from those wonderful beaches, but I am sincerely really enjoying myself. And not to sound like a fat girl or anything, but the south has some good food- zaxgby’s anyone?!

Since arriving, well the both of us have been hideously busy- unpacking, signing up for things, working out, taking test for jobs, interviews, meetings, ect. Oh and lets not forget the first day we got here we had to deal with my windshield that crack and shattered out of no where and getting pulled over by a cop. The cop was nice enough to explain to us the rules that are different between Oklahoma and other states. See we’ve had trials already, but amazingly enough God took care of us.

I love my apartment. LOVE. Its in a real safe place, everything is open 24 hrs not just Wal-Mart and Sheetz ((big change from Lynchburg)) and the people are so kind. This place is so big. Like seriously, I come from Miami I know what is big and Oklahoma City is huge! I have got lost countless amount of times, but I have come to the realization that getting lost in the city is the best way to learn it; since I can now maneuver without my GPS a good 75% of the time.

The first week I was here I had interviews for really great jobs, and well the lady more like told me I was hired within 15 minutes of our conversation- which was absolutely wonderful! Considering the job that I had secured before I moved here, had an unprofessional, senseless director. So within my first week I secured another job, and I am just waiting for the department of mental health to give me the okay on my background check so I can start! So excited to start working again- weird I know, but I am so excited to see what God has for my future and the wonderful opportunities He is going to provide.

Every weekend is relaxation time! We were so busy this week that this past weekend we decided to do some yoga, enjoy the pool and get comfortable with our environment and community. Lets see what this upcoming weekend we get into.

Johnny just finished his first week of school- Senior year! And me well I will be starting to work later on in the week- but in the meantime will continue to workout, unpack and take the state required test and training needed for the jobs.

Anyways, although I am and will always be a Miami girl at heart- the Midwest-central time is so far so goood ;)
