It's true. It is currently 2:35 a.m. and I am up doing my nails. This is kind of a big deal for me, as I often do not feel well enough to even care about my nails. I used to ALWAYS have my nails polished (no exageration); it was one of my favorite things to do, and something I am getting back into. So I have been at this for a while tonight (this morning)- I have used two coats of hot pink, and then pink glitter on top. I was just going to go for an accent nail, but liked it so much, I decided to do them all in glitter. And the more glitter I put on, the more I loved it. So I am currently wearing two coats of hot pink and three coats of pink glitter polish (four coats on my accent nail). That's a lot of fumes. And I am now light-headed. Although some of it may have to do with me being tired, I am pretty sure I am mainly high. I shouldn't even be awake (ah, the joys of insomnia after being dead-exhausted all day), as I have a bridal show in the morning. But that's what they make coffee for, right?
Speaking of the bridal show- something you don't know about me (unless you are my co-worker or friend on Facebook) is that I am a DJ. Mainly weddings, but I do the occasional company party. I work for an amazing company, and love my boss and co-djs. This season is super slow, so they are having me come with them to bridal shows. And, as of last Thursday (this was the unofficial news I mentioned in my last post), I am now the Music Director! I am working four days a week, plus the occasional bridal show, and, of course, weddings on the weekends when the season picks back up. I get my own office, and this week they are ordering me a new computer. I am essentially responsible for all of the music for all of our weddings, among a number of other things. I will also later be cross-trained on the office manager position. I am currently acting as the equipment manager, as well. I absolutely love it, and am still so excited. If you would have told me a year ago that this is what I would be doing, I wouldn't have believed it. But I have often said that our plans do not equal God's plans for us, and His are much better!
I am feeling so blessed. I made it through my first week with very little pain or exhaustion, and I find myself looking forward to going into the office. The schedule is perfect for me, and for the first time ever, my husband and I share pretty much the same schedule, so we still get to spend time together. I know there are going to be days where I miss staying at home, and where the job will be frustrating; but that's with everything you do. These past three years or so have been a few of the hardest we've ever had to face, but I feel like we are finally coming out of it. This year is going to be good.
God is good. All the time.
xoxo,
Raven
