Being a senior is kind of bitter sweet. College has been so good to me, I've learned so much academically, about myself, about God, and met some amazing people. The lessons I've learned will last forever......wait..it's not over yet!!! I'm trying to live in the moment of it being my last year as an iowa stater.
The first two weeks of classes has been amazing. I love ALL of my classes. I feel so nerdy. I am taking....plant physiology, visual culture and design, horticulture installation and estimating, landscape construction and management and, advanced garden composition (studio). I love my professors, schedule, and everything about it!!!
Also, this semester, I got a new job!!! God has been so faithful in providing meaningful jobs for me. One day this summer I told Nathan that I really wanted to learn more about floriculture (isu doesn't offer classes), he was like then work at a flower shop!!! For some reason that had never crossed my mind.....so I started looking for jobs. Nothing really came of it during the summer but I had a good feeling about one place I stopped, Coe's. Once school started I got called in for an interview and then a day later I was offered the job!!!!! YAY!!! It was hard to quit my other job on campus that I have had for 3 years, but I have an awesome understanding boss that was happy for my new job.
Coe's is a very cute upscale flower and home decor shop. It's wonderful!!! It is located in Somerset (North Ames near the Cafe). I started there yesterday and it was wonderful!!! My tasks yesterday including training, decorating for Christmas, and listening to Frank Sinatra the whole day. I have never had a job that I really have fit in with my coworkers. I love all the ladies and men that work there. Within the first five minutes of being there, the ladies were talking about prayer, and the book of Luke.....I thought to myself, I think I will like this place :) :) :)
Sorry if all these thoughts seem random.....
I also really love my connection group. Bettina and I are leading a group of 4-5 girls. I'm so excited for the girls He has brought to our group and I'm even more excited to see how he will continue to form our relationships with Him and each other....I think we will all become best friends!!! Our time together has been so genuine and awesome.
I went to an allergist doctor yesterday...It was quit the experience. I learned that I'm very allergic to molds and cats, and lots of other stuff (everything). I will be getting allergy shots once a week for immunotherapy in hopes that my allergies will disappear soon.
what else is going on....hmm......
Nathan is still awesome! I like him. We have almost finished reading the bible from start to finish in chronological order together. On September 17th we will have been dating for a whole year. It's hard to believe. I love how much we have learned together and grown closer to God in ways I didn't think that we would. HE is FAITHFUL!
My new apartment is awesome! I love taking turns cooking with my roomie (Andrea) and neighbors (Bryce and Nathan). I have my own room and bathroom and sooo much space!
I'm hoping to get better about blogging since I have many friends that don't live close to me...I want to continue to be close to them and give them easy access to what's going on in my life.
