For those of you that have not already heard, I moved to Omaha, NE a week after graduation. It seemed crazy to me too! The story is kind of funny when you look back at it...I mean really...who moves to Omaha without a car and a place to stay...and I'm going to have to say, 'That would be me.'

I had this grand plan ever since I was a junior in high school to go to college recieve my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and then go on to get my master's and/or my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology or Counseling. It was going great, I had applied to four schools in the past fall and was waiting to hear where I was going in the spring. Even after a man prayed for me at my old church and said that my focus was off...and all I could think about at the time was Graduate school, but II thought for sure that God wanted me to go...when in reality I found that God had a different plan than mine all along. When I did not get accepted into any of my choices, I kind of freaked out, haha! I decided a job in my field would be the next best choice and would help me get experience and build up my resume. Also, not knowing now where I should be while at the same time knowing I should not be in Michigan anymore, I could not decide where I should apply for jobs. So I prayed about it, and sent out numerous applications to about 15 states. I seriously applied everywhere from California to Vermont. The job that I have now happened kind of quickly. I applied on a Friday and got a call on Monday for an interview on Tuesday over the phone. After that interview I knew God was trying to tell me something because it went really well...like it lasted 45 min, the woman is a Christian and a twin (like me), and said "Everything happens for a reason, like maybe you are supposed to be here instead."  So about a week and a half later I get a phone call to set up my second phone interview which happens about a week later and goes well too. Later that week I accept the job and about 2 weeks later I started orientation and training. Now...the interesting part is I got in an accident about 2 months before I got the job and was trying to get my car fixed in order to leave. But the repair shop within that time just took my car apart, ordered parts and added over a $1000 to my estimation. That was when I said to myself even if I had the money to pay for it, it wouldn't be done in time and sold my nearly totaled car to the shop. So, still no place to stay and no car, I was moving to Nebraska because I knew God wanted me to. Susan and I  decided to pack up her 2 door Alero with most of my belongings and drive to NE through the night. Meanwhile, I was searching like crazy for apartments and places to stay. My other sister suggested I call a local church and see if they could set me up with a place to stay. After researching a couple of churches, I called 2 and only 1 gave me an option. They set me up with a couple who called me a couple of hours before my sister came to pack up the car. Through these people I have been able to get more information about finding the right car for the right amount, where the safe places to live are, and have been able to be a part of a church. They have been great at making me feel at home and made the transition of moving to a new state and starting a whole new life a lot easier! Not to forget the godson that lives with them has also been welcoming and helping me get aqaninted with other people my age. So, given all of the confirmations I know God has me right where He wants me and I cannot wait to see what else He has in store for me in Omaha!!

This is a Picture  of me and the couple that took me in! 



This is me and the lovable Sasha! She follows me everywhere!
