Does Life Ever Surprise You?

Didn't I just say in my last blog that I have to stop with epic novels? I guess you can't teach a procrastinator to update more frequently!

First things first, I start my class in LESS than a week! Wow, I am so totally nervous but also completely excited. Anatomy and Physiology, here I come :)

Second, in the course of 3 days in the last week, I was offered and have accepted a new job offer! Talk about unexpected, but I really feel that it's a God-thing. I was told of an opening at an engineering firm in Edmonton, but I put off applying because I thought, "I'm starting school, I can't possibly start a new job at the same time!!!" Then I tried to think objectively and realized that it's better to start both at the same time than to start a new job in the middle of my program, around all the work and exams and stuff.

I would never have heard about this any other way, and it all went so fast, that I really felt God was leading me to this. I emailed my resume last Friday, they called me for an interview this past Monday, I was interviewed on Tuesday over lunch, and they called me to offer the position on Wednesday morning! It will be a great experience and the pay will be a lot better, which will really help with school expenses...you know how that is :)

Last night I went with Lee and his dad to a car-thing in NE Edmonton. Then on the way home, we went "cruising" down Whyte Ave, which was fun, and I got to drive with my dad-in-law in his '65 Shelby Mustang convertible! It was SO fun, and it was a surprisingly nice night so we could have the top down the whole time. It is warming up in chilly Alberta...finally!
