It's been a while since I have written in here. I've been pretty busy with working a lousy job, planning a wedding, getting married, and moving to New Orleans. Now I'm sitting at my desk in my new apartment as I listen to my husband playing a video game (which he actually doesn't spend a lot of time on video games, thank goodness!!).
I've learned a few things in the past six months.
I learned a lot about patience and customer service when I worked at the Center for Sight making appointments for cranky old people. Also, when there's someone at work who gets enjoyment out of letting her unhappiness affect other coworkers, being super sweet back is the best way to get that person off your back. I digress--customer service requires so much patience and knowledge about who and what you are working for.
Additionally, planning a wedding will inevitably lead to tension between family members. I definitely didn't keep a good attitude with my mom, and I am still trying to learn how to deal with two sets of parents that don't understand a lot about communication. Wedding planning is exciting. Move planning, however, is not. During the time of your engagement, you are not just planning a celebration, you setting down some groundwork for your new life.
Now for one of the more humorous lessons learned: how to plan a vacation. Matt and I forgot to book a hotel room for one night during the honeymoon. Fortunately, Disney is so accommodating that the process of checking out and back in to a room was not stressful. Also, one King Size bed meant a handicapped room, which also meant a terrible shower. Furthermore, Disney's Deluxe Dining Plan is entirely too much food.
Anyway, I'm in New Orleans trying to get used to life in a strange city (seriously, this is city is weird). I'm looking forward to starting work in the seminary's cafe and hopefully in a dean's office at University of New Orleans. God has been tremendously generous to us so far. I feel that the next step of my life in His plan is happening right now. Matt is an awesome husband and my very best friend. Life is really exciting right now!
