Hopedale

parting is such sweet sorrow. But I often find that unexpected surprises await me at every new turn in life.
Once again, God has provided for me in magnificent ways. I had been worried about this big move, but I'm actually really comfortable where I am.
The house I'm living in is great because the family treats me like I'm part of the family now the first few days when I wake up for work Jackie has helped me with breakfast, made me a packed lunch and has driven me to work, and she is there waiting for me when I get out of work to take me back to the house where we sit down and all have dinner together. I realize she is just trying to get me used to my schedule and my route before I am on my own, but still, it's just one of those little extra surprises that have made my experience so much better than what it could have been.
there is an awesome swing in the backyard that is really long so you can swing really far out.

Work is also good. I have my own office with a desk and a drafting table, I'm doing pretty much the same sort of work I have been doing at school this past year, except the major difference is that I can stop working at 5 and not have to think about my work for the rest of the day. It's really strange, actually, I always loose track of the time and have the innate urge to keep working through the night like I would have to at school. Could I do this sort of thing for the rest of my life? Probably, yes. But I have higher aspirations than that.
