Today Is.......

Today is St. Patrick's Day...may the luck of the Irish be with me and all who read this Today is the day that the job advertisement for the Corp of Engineers closed Today is the day that the sun is finally shining after 4 days of rain. Today is the day The Hunter killed his first double bearded turkey Today is the day I have waited on for the past 10 months. Today is the day that will hopefully change my life. Last night at midnight the job advertisement closed for the Corp of Engineers. It is a job a desperately need (and want more than anything). I do not know how many have put in for it, or who will get it. I have prayed everyday, several times a day that God will bless me with this job. I try not to think about what if I don't get it........I just hope that it is God's will. For Today I do not ask the Lord, "Why me?", When troubles come my way I only ask His presence here With me, for just today. Tomorrow I shall pray again That He will lead me through, And every moment I shall know His love, His strength anew. The weak are ever stumbling, Please give me courage anew, But just today I'm thankful That You will see me through - Betty Y. Baker

Today is ...the day

Today is the day I have been waiting on for 10 months....10 months to the day to be exact.

Long story (see 25 Random Things About Me)....but the short version is that I lost my job a year ago. I am one of the few people that actually love my job (loved). I am an interior designer, and I love every minute of it. Lets not confuse Interior Designer with Interior Decorator...there is a difference...a big difference. If you want to know the difference just ask....so anyway...there is not exactly a plethora of jobs in my field in Mobile. Back in May I got a call from a friend of mine that works downtown for The US Army Corp of Engineers (we will call them COE for short). He is an architect I used to work with....anyway he referred me for a position. It is a very exciting job. I would get to travel, design amazing spaces, and HAVE A JOB IN MY FIELD!

Government positions take forever......10 months it has taken them to advertise this position.

So I have now applied to the COE and I am praying I get it. I have prayed to get it every day since I interviewed. I pray that God will bless me (and The Hunter) with this job.

Now onto things that grow in the dirt....

I love to get flowers....flowers I can plant. We received so many beautiful flowers from wonderful people. I wanted to share a few of them with you.

Don't know what this one is (???) but I do love it

Bromeliad (sp?)

She's a daisy...and she has a follower (keep reading)

My mom told me what this is...but at the moment it has slipped my mind...but I will be planting some of these

My mom bought me this beautiful arrangement of daffodils, tulips and hyacinth and it smells heavenly. Before I left to go to work today I set the Daisy buy this arrangement...when I walked in the door this is what I saw...

The daffodil is leaning in for a kiss......
