It's been a while!

Well, I must admit it has been quite some time since I have posted anything. I started my job as a social worker and quickly realized how busy my life would be. So, things like facebook and blogging which used to fill my time, have now taken a back seat to having a career. For anyone who doesn't know I am working at a treatment foster care and adoption agency. It is the same place I did my practicum at during college, but I am now at the Albuquerque branch. I have been learning a lot and can't believe that I have been blessed with a job so quickly. An added bonus is that I have insurance! God is good! Some times I wonder why He takes such good care of me and I feel truely blessed. I have my own office which I have recently decorated with very bright colors and have a daisey theme going. I really enjoy all my co-workers and my boss is amazing. She has the same sense of humor and sarcarism I do, so we get along well. But the most amazing part about my job is working with the kids. These kids are so resiliant for all they have gone through in their lives. They make me smile daily and it is so cool to see when they are doing better in their treatment.

On a less exciting note I have had a rather difficult time adjusting to being a real adult. I never thought I would say it, but I actually miss college. Most of all I miss the amazing friends I made in Las Cruces, and I miss Cru (although I am excited to be back near my best friend Rissa again). I just didn't realize how much being involved in Cru shaped my life and how much I would miss it. So, I am trying to find my place in Albuquerque. I am going to my uncle's church (which is awesome) and Trevor started a volleyball group like we had in Cruces. It has been the highlight of my week. We play on Sunday nights on an outdoor sand court and it is loads of fun. It's no secret that I have a difficult time getting close to new people, so I am working on this, and trying to make new friends. Please think of me as I face this.

Okay, so I don't want to end on a depressing note so here is some exciting news! My band is going to play a show! It is at a church in Edgewood and there will be 4 other bands playing. Trevor and I are just working on getting a bass player and drummer. Our friend Mike will be playing bass, but we're not for sure on a drummer yet. We have a guy that used to play drums for us, but he is in the police acadamy and super busy. Hopefully this works itself out soon because the show is August 8th! Music makes me happy and sharing our songs with people is awesome to get to do. Here is a link to the event on facebook for anyone who might want to come. http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/event.php?eid=109732606554
