this & that in a month

December came and went in a flash. We made our first Christmas card together. We celebrated the General's 26th birthday. My sister's 3rd anniversary. We spent Christmas with all our family and enjoyed our time together. We celebrated a New Year at the beach...AND we enjoyed our first year together as a married couple! (I think I'll do a whole post on our first year...)

Work's been crazy wild, but I do believe I've gotten some quality entertainment lately. My boss is opening a new restaurant in town and we've had the pleasure of interviewing at our office. I've done more paper work and phone calls for a business than I've ever thought was possible. I'm so thankful I have a job that doesn't deal with the general public on a daily basis. I don't see how you people do it! Granted, the person is applying for a job for one franchise, they return the application or receive a phone call from one business, then come to an interview at a different business...but it's really not that hard. I thought (assumed) people used Google Maps for most anything. I was wrong. I've been on the phone so much explaining our location so much that I lost my voice...for 5 days. Things are getting better, interviews are slowing down (or well, not really that much), the restaurant is slowly being finished, and we're approaching the opening date. Fingers crossed things will actually slow down around our office once it's opened.

Other news, lately I've realized to be thankful for the doors that have been closed in my life. After a long awaited graduation, I married the love of my life, and couldn't find a job for 5 months. Yes, "there was a recession," but I'm pretty confident God was working on me (& the General) and preparing me for what he had in store. I've been blessed with the most perfect job and doors are starting to open for new things in our lives. We're moving forward and making progress. I can't wait to see what else he has planned for us.
