Needed a Little Pick Me Up...

So apparently God could tell that I needed a little pick me up since the whole missed phone call fiasco. Today, I got it. I got offered a promotional position at my work as a court clerk (which is very appropriate seeing as how I just graduated with a Criminal Justice degree)! I am so glad to be back to working full time hours (even though I don't start for two weeks). I have SO missed having a career. It hurt a lot to leave the police department and "demote" myself to just part time. I know that it was the right thing to do for graduation, but being a dispatcher, and a career woman was the essence of my being.

I've also been blessed by being surrounded by such wonderful people in the past week. I've gone full force at my internship and have already met such amazing women! They are strong, funny, endearing, and compassionate. They are lifting my spirits without even knowing it. I am grateful for such a rewarding distraction.

Almost as if by realizing all the positives surrounding me to keep from being sad about Nick...as I was pondering all this good, Nick called! He is in limbo right now, waiting on a base he is not assigned to until he can move to "his" station. Tomorrow sounds like it will be the big day! He will head out to his duty base and hopefully then be able to start communicating state-side. The phones have been terrible and inconsistent at best. He wanted everyone to know he made it in country, and will call when he reaches his base. A drawn out game of waiting around, but hopefully soon he will be doing what he trained for and in better contact.

A song my Dad used to listen to seems like an appropriate closing for this post...
When the road gets dark/ And you can no longer see/ Just let my love throw a spark/ And have a little faith in me. And when the tears you cry/ Are all you can believe/ Just give these loving arms a try babe/ And have a little faith in me.
