Hi EVERYONE!!
So sorry I haven't posted in weeks. I wrote a post on the 16th when I left for Dallas but then I never had time to post and since I've been here I haven't had any time to write and post for you. The only time I have is devoted to studying, commuting (yep, still commuting), and sleeping. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous. It's actually Spring here, I don't miss DC weather one bit. If I never come home, I'll be okay with that! Everyone is welcome to come visit! Haha.
Where to begin...
First of all, I have to say thank you to all of my beautiful friends. My girlfriends for taking me out to a going away dinner! And, spending so much time with my niece Ava and having her come out for her first girls night with all of her adopted aunts!
My favorite Life Group girlfriends for being the incredibly beautiful women they are and making me the sweetest going away card and the most adorable and delicious cookies!
The last two weeks I was home were an absolute whirlwind. Between packing boxes, and suitcases, getting rid of junk, donating, errands, seeing people last minute and of course snuggling as much as I could with my puppies, I was literally all over the place. But because I have the best brother ever he helped me keep my head on my shoulders and get it all done, how incredible is he?!
So 2 Sundays ago, I was on a plane at 6 AM and I was in Dallas, TX by 8:20 AM CST and I have been here ever since. Kyle picked me up from DFW and we went to church and then spent lunch time with my Uncle Dick and Aunt Lucy and Steven and Brandy and their girls Olivia and Sophia. We had a fabulous lunch and I cannot wait to go see them again! I love being here!!
If I haven't used the word "love" enough, I'm IN LOVE with my new career choice. I couldn't be more in my element. I haven't been so happy or felt so fulfilled like I do here. I realized in the last couple of years I really lost myself and being here I feel more and more myself. It's so hard to explain. Just know there isn't a second of the day that goes by that I am not sitting with a smile on my face. After all that I have been through in the last year, I can vividly see how God had his hand print in every step that I took, and as hard as some of the thing were that I went through it was for a greater purpose that all led me here. And I wouldn't trade where I am right now for ANYTHING. I have made friends quickly and I am pretty much in love with my roommate.
Speaking of roommate, her name is Alejandra, and if you haven't seen any of our pictures... your missing out. I swear it's like we've known each other for, well always. Everyone in our class was sure we knew each other before coming to training. Nope, just two peas in a pod, lol. My other girlfriends are all amazing, and I love them. I can't believe how quickly and how easy it was to make such great friends being myself, no holding back. Yes, I mean the loving, loud, obnoxious, sarcastic, sassy pain that I am... people tolerate me and some of them are just as sassy as me, it's fantastic.
Our Room:
We are sharing a really nice sized room at a hotel off campus. It's working out really well... especially since you have two girls sharing a two foot pole for closet space... yes, two feet for TWO GIRLS... We make it work tho!
As for training itself, I got a 100% on my very first test!! GOD IS SO GOOD! From here on out we pretty much have tests every day now. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to go into detail about training and what I am learning, but just know it's intense and Flight Attendants go through way more than way the passengers see.
Well, I am off to UNIFORM FITTINGS!! Crazy that I am already being fitted for a uniform!
