Life update!

I can not believe it has been over 2 weeks since my last blog post!  So much has changed over these past few weeks.  I am back from my Maine vacation, officially moved back to Hartsville, and started my new job. 

One of the biggest adjustments since being back in Hartsville is moving back in with my parents.  After being out on my own for 3 years, I never would have imagined living back with them.  Don't get me wrong,  I get a long with my parents very well, but I would much rather have my own place.  I have just gotten used to having my own space and my own routine.  Not to mention, I like being completly independant.  Right now, during this transition of my life, the smarter thing for me to do is to stay with my parents and save up some money.  I am very grateful that my parents are willing to help me out to be able to do that. 

I am also having to face the fact that I am 2 hours away from some of the best people in the world.  I knew it was going to be hard moving away from my friends in Charleston, but I did not realize how difficult it would be until the time actually came.  There have been several times where I wish I could have called up one of my friends and meet them for dinner or just to hang out and talk.  I am doing my best to establish and build my life back in Hartsville again, I am just having a hard time actually coming to terms that I am not in Charleston anymore.

On a positive note; I have finally started my new job as the Program Ministry Director at Wesley United Methodist Church!  I am so excited to be working here at the church I grew up in.  We have a wonderful Pastor and I am excited to see some changes coming up in our church.  I have been able to spend some time with the children and the youth and have had a blast.  To be honest, little kids are not normally my cup of tea, but I have really enjoyed spending time with them.  One little boy in particular has captured me right away.  He is one of the cutest kids on this planet.  I am super excited to be working with these adorable kids and lively teens.  :)
