I applied for the job at the Asperger's school because I felt like God has put it on my heart to work with Autistic/Asperger's children. I got this job waay too easily. Then realized that I probably shouldn't take the job because it would create scheduling difficulties with my future hospital job which must have priority.
I prayed and asked God about the issue then I sent her an email informing her of the issue.
She replied:
"We would love to have you work with us anyway. We will try to accommodate your schedule and we will take it day by day."
It seems that I will be teaching after all.
I have never wanted to do take-home work so I hope it gets easier and quicker along and along. As of yet, I have not come up with teaching plans for my first lessons on Thursday.

Moving Day Is Around The Corner!
Steven is TDY to Louisiana. He's there for the jet evacuation.
He actually had to work on the flight line again.
Poor man got reminding glimpse of the vast chasm that exists between pilots and crewchiefs yet again.
It seems so wrong... How the crewchiefs are so overworked and underappriciated while the pilots seem to have attained a sort of god status.
I reminded Steven that he asked God to send him to the cushy backshop he's at now and to take this reminder of the flightline torture to be grateful for his backshop.
The man thanked me for lifting him up. I think he loves me. :)
So I'm still living in SC while he's stationed in NC.
I visited him for awhile but came down here becuase I couldn't take any more of that nasty, smokey little room he lives in.
Also, somebody had to pack!
That's right! We are finally moving!
We are closing on the beautiful house on Tuesday.
Well, Steven's closing with signature and a POA from me. *I love those free legal services on base*
While he is closing, I'll be moving our stuff up from SC. YUP! I am packing, loading, and driving a 20 foot truck with a car dolly and car up BY MYSELF!!
I'd better get some serious good wife points for that!
I asked my friend Crystal and her hubby to help but she's in nursing school now so what did I expect..:(
I advertised on FB for some help loading the truc. I'm trading my BEEEYOUTEEFUL entertainment center for help. It doesn't fit in the new house anyway. Crazy how it fit in our duplex and then in the trailer but doesn't fit in the new house!
I don't know the people who are going to help me move, but lucky for me, I noticed that they were mutual friends with a gal I know from the nursing program. SO..I stressed to Steven that they were friends of a friend from school. lol. Well they areeee...
I can't wait till that beautiful day when I have *gasp* INTERNET IN OUR HOME!
Oh yeah, and a washer and dryer will be nice too..
Have I said that before?
One more thing.
I was SUPPOSED to study for my nursing boards today... So OF COURSE, I picked up a book to read instead. Who would have thought that a book about a president's wife would make me cry my eyes out? Nancy Reagan is SUCH a lady and was SUCH a great wife.

Closet Adventures
I left something important out of my daily routine.
Devotions.
That is because life has been good.
So naturally, I'm neglecting my Bible.
Gaaah.
Not anymore.
Steven is so jovial after getting off work. Too bad his wife is such a drag that he enjoys his coworkers more. I'm glad he likes his coworkers and I'm looking forward to the day when we won't be crammed together in a closet sized room and tiny bed. The cramming and the smoke may well have been our very undoing if we were not closing on our house by the end of the month!
Steven had such a traumatic night last night. Apparently, the bed is so small that both of us must be over or under the covers.
Steven was sleeping on the end towards the fan. He froze all night because I refused to sleep under the covers.
Today is the home inspection.
I'm awfully excited to see that beautiful house again! I might steal an apple from the tree.
God has arranged for my hardworking bro and sis-in-law to be to enjoy a wedding pratically for free.
It's been amazing watching their blessings roll in.
One of the rich women she works for is paying for the catering as a gift.
An old family friend who is a lead member in a highly paid, and highly sought after violin quartet has offered their services free of charge.
The church where they attend is waiving the fee for clean up. That's about 400 dollars.
Chasity found her dream wedding dress at a thrift shop for about 45 dollars.
Their all-around fantastic sister Tricia, and their stunningly handsome and smart brother-in-law Steven, will be getting them a nice gift. :D

My Father's Good Pleasure
My current home in SC.
I've have been very grateful for the cheap rent and the relatively safe, quiet neighborhood. However, it is VERY old, has rotting floors, holes everywhere, roaches, no insulation, and a permament odorous mixture of mildew and urine. And of course, the hot water doesn't work in the sinks.
Steven's current home is a 15 by 5 foot, cigarette smokey room in an older couple's trailer in a sketchy neighborhood in NC.
A sneak-peak of our new home. (With the current owner's decor)
Looking for a home has been quite an adventure with many twists and turns. At first we were going to rent. However, the rent prices were as high as a mortgage and in bad neighborhoods. Then God led us to look for homes for sale. The hunt was exhausting. It was so hard not to worry and doubt. I'd been asking God for something more amazing than we could imagine for a cheap price.
Steven found this place online and we realized that the mortgage would be shockingly low, I knew it was the place.
We had a dishonest realitor who among other things, led us in the wrong direction, refused to show us this house because he was not selling it. BEWARE! RELATORS are salesmen! Do your own research, pick the houses YOU want to see! Be prepared.
We left the dishonest realitor and got another realitor who was WONDERFUL, just what we asked for. The home has everything that Steven and I could ever want and more that we would not have dared to ask for.
Our beautiful home has every amenity you would desire in a home.
One very special touch is a fulfillment of my secret wish. The sun rises in the master bedroom and kitchen. *swoon*
For years Steven and I have been dreading the FRIDGE "DEBATE". Since neither of us could comprimise on this issue we feared the FRIDGE DEBATE would be our undoing as a happy couple. Well, fortunately God spared our marriage. The house comes with Steven's perfect fridge.
Other things the house has that Steven and I wanted:
New style house. Built recently
Quite neighborhood in the country on a 1 acre lot.
Fenced in. (It's mostly fenced in)
Beautiful, brick, raised landscaping/beds with plants for every season.-on the front, back AND SIDES of the house!
Magnolia trees, gardenias,(Around our deck!!) blueberry bushes, apple tree, red maple tree, crepe myrtle trees.
Privacy trees are planted around the yard already.
A wooden playground with.. a climbing wall and soft sand below!! For the foster children!
TONS OF ROOMY, WHITE CABINETS in the kitchen and baths
Lovely kitchen with beautiful arches and vaulted celings.
Lights under the cabinents
Green/grey slate backsplash
Tile in the shower/tubs
Split floor plan
Large back deck
3 bedrooms/2 baths
Open floor plan.
Vaulted ceilings
Roomy laundry room with cabinents and clothes racks.
Walk in closets
Plantation blinds in all windows
Wood floors and soft carpet
Outlets everywhere
Fire place
Tons of closet space
Lovely, arched, vaulted entryway.
2 car garage with lots of extra space for shelving, toolboxes, lawnmowers and other man stuff :)
Lots of windows and natural lighting.
The paint colors are the EXACT colors I would have chosen!
A door from the garage that leads to the outside/garden.
Great air conditioner and insulation.
Lovely woodwork throughout the home.
White rocks covering the ground below the deck so the weeds don't grow and dogs don't get ticks.
and a home security system which we don't really care about.
The most amazing thing is that we had told God that we did not want to pay any more than a certain amount for a home. The home price was listed well above the amount we had told God. We told our realitor a higher amount because we are aware that reality is booming in our military area and we didn't want to lose the house. I lay awake that night with the low number running through my head. Dare we ask for our low amount? After work the next day, Steven and I were on the way to sign the offer. He said, I've had ____ (the other number) running through my head all day. We have to ask for it. I said, "fine, we will also ask for the washer and dryer". (Ours were "stolen" from us and consequently, I've been washing clothes in the bathtub since Feb.) We also asked for closing costs and the fridge of course :).
Our offer was accepted today as we knew it would be and the realitor said we should be able to close by the end of the month; just in time because my lease on the trailor ends on the 31st.
The verses I've been living by:
Luke 12 29-32
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
And to think that the enemy tried to keep this home from me by filling my head with all kinds of doubt! I was even questioning if it was right to own such a luxurious home!
Thank you God. I am so humbled by your love for us despite my doubt. I also thank you for Steven who never doubted all along.
