Tim's parents are up from Pennsylvania for the week, and I swear I've eaten my weight in carbs. Where they live, they don't have Big Al's, KFC, or Pizza Hut, so each night we've been indulging in whatever they want. We've had a $60 KFC meal (18 pieces of chicken haha!) and have eaten pizza four times so far. It's been yummy; however, I can't WAIT to start eating healthy again! It's amazing how crappy my skin starts looking and how much more pudge I get on my lower stomach.  I'll probably juice for a few days after they leave; it'll feel great! That being said, I love having them here, and I love that we get to eat all this food :) I'm glad I get along with my in-laws.

This is my last week of "vacation"; I start my new job next Monday! I'm going to be a receptionist at a dentist office! I'm so excited-yes, I will start out making less than what I did, BUT I will only have to drive 5 minutes to work compared to 45 minutes---that's going to save me about $60-70 in gas money, so what I'm making really evens out! Also, not only do I get to work with a boss who does everything by the book, but the employees are SO nice, the atmosphere is relaxing, and I can really see myself enjoying working there. Plus...the building is RIGHT on the river, so I can go for walks on the river walk on my lunch if I wanted to! It's such a beautiful area. This really proves that God has a plan for me. I had always thought it'd be fun working at a dental office, and this place was actually my first choice when I started applying at available jobs. I prayed before all my different job interviews, but rather than pray "Oh, please let me get this job!", I prayed "Lord, keep me calm, help me to answer the questions to the best of my ability, and just let me do the best I can in the interview; however, You are in control; and if I don't get the job, there's a reason for it." I was told "No" by a couple jobs, and this was why. Wouldn't it be nice if we could see 6 months into the future to know why things happen the way they do? Then maybe we'd trust God more. That's what walking by faith is all about though.

This picture has nothing to do with what I've written about, but it makes me happy.  Sunshine, no snow, Julia Child, my wedding rings, and cupcakes. Cupcakes make everything better.
