Blessed

Life has been busy and it's just about to get busier.

As most of you know, I work at an accounting firm in the bookkeeping department. Since the 1st of January we all hit the ground running.... and we have been ever since. We get to have all quarterly returns, 1099's and W-2's done by January 31st, and there's three of us in the bookkeeping department. The result of this? LOTS of overtime... more than I've ever worked in my life. We get to work every Saturday (speaking of, I'm on my lunch break right now :) and during the week the days are also very long.
After Christmas I got sick.... and I'm still fighting it. It's been almost 3 weeks and I'm still dealing with a terrible cough and a mild cold. So yeah, I'm still not quite to my energetic-self yet. It's made the over-time situation even more fun. :P
Through this busyness, Daniel has been wonderful... since he's on school break, he has more time than usual and has helped me with laundry, dishes, and everything else. It's sooo great to not feel quite as overwhelmed with the stuff at home. I have a fabulous husband!! So after January 1st it might calm down a little bit, but then tax season starts up! So that still means every Saturday! The biggest advantage to it all is all of the over-time pay. :) But really, I am so blessed to have a full-time job that is needing and wanting me to work more. An answered prayer!!  


This Monday, Daniel (well, sort of us...) starts a new journey. He starts nursing school at OSF. He had new student orientation on Thursday, and he is SOO excited. The nursing program might make us a little busier/stressed-out, I don't know yet. But the part that is so great is that Daniel is so excited to start and to learn. It's going to make him going through school so much easier for the both of us. It has been wonderful to have the first semester of our marriage to be more relaxed, since Daniel only took 1 college class. God truly had a plan for everything when we felt lead to begin our lives together.  


Today is our 5 month anniversary. Wow these last 5 months have FLOWN! It has truly been the best 5 months of my life. I couldn't be more thankful for the husband God gave me and what He has done in our lives. I feel incredibly blessed every single day. There's never a day that I don't feel that way!  


Our other news that I am SO thankful for, is that we are moving in 1 month!! We will no longer be living in the city...it is extremely convenient with school and work, but we are so excited to get to the country. I am SO ready to have a house!!
February 1st we get our rental house that we are renting from my dad and uncle. One week later, we are going to move! We'll be living down a gravel lane, with cows in the backyard. :) Right where Daniel feels at home! Heidi and Luke used to live there, and they did a TON of work to it, so it shouldn't need much paint or updating. Pretty much just the carpets cleaned!  


Like I said, God has truly BLESSED us!
