Taking Hold of the Reins

So, since I last reported not much has really happened. I am still single and still dealing, but as each day goes by it gets a tad bit better.

I went to my first First Place 4 Health bible study on Monday and it was interesting. I was a little nervous, but I think as time goes on I will learn more about the women in the group. There is approximately 20 of us, varying from all ages. I am really enjoying the bible study book that we have with the program. It has us read different verses in the Bible and shows us how to apply them to our lives.

I also just signed up for a career diploma as a Travel Specialist. I am taking a course from Penn Foster online/correspondence school. Travel has always been my passion and I am so excited to begin this chapter of my life! Even if I don't choose it as a full time career it would be great to do from home/part time.

I have also found a new way of relaxing...I am painting pottery!!! I absolutely love it. I can paint whatever I am feeling and it is a great stress reliever. I just finished painting a dog food bowl for Klaus and I plan on working on one for Abigail tomorrow. I have been going with my ex-ex sister-in-law Nikki (ok that's sad, ex-ex?). Anyhow, I really enjoy it and it's fairly inexpensive, which is always a plus. The place where we are going is in Frandor and it's called Playing Picasso. I took my nieces Mikayla and Mckinley last Sunday and they really had a good time. I am going to pick up our pieces tonight, so it should be interesting to see what they look like once they are fired.

Other than that, not much going on....oh I almost forgot! Miss Jessica, one of my BFF from high school is coming to stay with me for a couple of nights next weekend. I am super excited!! We haven't seen each other in over 2 years, so it will be good to catch up and just hang out again. I have to say, she is an amazing woman and I am proud to have her as one of my best friends in life. Hope everyone has a good weekend-Ciao!
