Protection and Provision
I know it's been quite a while since I posted, but I've had a lot going on...
A little over a week ago, we finally set a wedding date - we'll be getting married 56 days from today (November 27, 2010)! I also had my surgery on September 21 - It went well, and, apparently was a success. Recovery time has been taking a bit longer than I was told it would take, but in the past few days I've noticed a big change. I'm almost feeling back to normal now! :-D
God has provided a way for us to pay for the wedding expenses, which is a big answer to prayer. Also, Jared and I have been offered a different shift and will be starting to work nights together on Monday. I will now be the PM Lead Teacher and Jared and I will both be the "closers" - there have to be two people in the building at close, so it works out perfectly. Being a lead gives me a $.50/hr raise in pay, and working nights gives each of us a $.50/hr raise in pay :-) So, I'll be making $1.00/hr more and Jared $.50/hr more. It also helps that we're on nights because it gives us some time in the mornings to "wedding shop" when we need to. :-)
My wedding shower will be on the 23rd of October - Looking forward to fun and (gotta be honest) wedding gifts!
That's about all that's been going on...well, aside from a lady "rolling" into Jared and I at a stop light the other day, and a truck dumping a car-sized wad of depends onto the road and almost causing a pile-up - which I would definitely have been in.
God protects and provides :-)
