Full of Surprises
It feels like we haven't stopped to sit down in a few weeks here (it feels like we hardly ever stop to sit down). But I was driving home today from work and it hit me how crazy it is that I'm here.
We've been married for almost a year now, and we're heading to my second homecoming as an alumna this weekend (from a university I declared I would never attend, mind you). Also, I'm an accountant. In Atlanta. Something I never, ever thought I'd be doing, in a city I never, ever thought I'd live. It's so funny to step back and see how life has changed since I last sat back to check out the view. It's been so exciting and nerve wracking to be on this roller coaster. I have learned that I literally never can tell what will happen next. And I've become more comfortable with that notion than I ever thought I could be. I'm a planner, a list maker, a budgeter. It's crazy how God has led me to let go of the reigns and just trust him to get me where I need to go over the last several years.
I must say, I did not see this coming. But I ain't mad at it.
If you were reading closely up there you caught that I said I'm in accounting now. Yes, you read correctly. No, I really don't know how it happened. I walked into work Monday morning, intending to continue Sales Research, but ended up moving into the accounting department and have been working with the company's finances ever since. It sounds crazy, it is a little crazy, but I actually love it. It's fun. Who'd have thunk it? Not me. That's for sure. More I didn't see coming: I have a 401k, straight leg jeans, and I only watched Hocus Pocus once this year. Once.
In other news, as Michael and I have been learning to survive (attempting to thrive) in marriage, school, work, adulthood, etc., this has been our anthem for several weeks running now. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. It's super uplifting.

I know it's long, but trust me. It'll be the best seven minutes and ten seconds of your day.
