The End Draws Near

Kya and I ventured with my dad to explore autumn's affects on Carl Road. In doing so, we attracted 44 cows that became very intrigued by our presence. Kya loved it.



I can't believe that November begins tomorrow. It's really strange to think about. Just over two months ago I was unemployed and now I am fully immersed in my job. It's very busy, but beginning to feel more comfortable. I feel at peace. Seeing the leaves change color and breathing in the cooler air makes me realize that everything that once seemed chaotic is now going to be alright. I feel change in the air and it's a good thing this time. No more confusion or anxiety, just the pure thrill of something new. I want to grasp it so badly now, but I think I'll just sit back and enjoy my favorite time of year not being anxious in anything, but instead enjoying what God has given me. I need to continue to be more patient and days like this one with Kya will only seem more glorious.

I sure do love that pup.

Fall is Here!

So, I'm not really in the mood to write this, especially since I don't blog much anymore, but I thought I would anyway at 11:42 this fine Monday evening.

Life... is great.
Life is Good.
Sadly, this is a popular brand sold at "The Binks."

Holding the position of an Assistant Manager of a locally owned retail store is much different than I thought it would be.
I definitely have responsibility, but I find myself constantly wondering what it would be like if I was actually doing something that I loved.
This, for certain, is not what I'm meant to do.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am extremely content and feel very blessed when I wake up each morning, but...
what is it that I'm called to do?
I feel that I'm supposed to pursue my dream of cooking or opening a restaurant or helping people with their dietary needs, but how?
I'm not worried that I will not be guided in my quest by a large helping hand, but sometimes I have to be my impatient human self and question when I will know/ understand how to embark on my next quest.

On the other hand, I have met some pretty interesting people at work and enjoy being able to relax around them.
Corbin is now employed, so I like feeling that we have our "adult" lives underway and knowing that we are actually accomplishing things during the day.
Kya is here now when I return home from work and that is certainly rewarding.
I'm... figuring it all out.
Hey... how could I complain now that Netflix has added Season 6 of the Office and Season 4 of 30 Rock to instant streaming?!

Anyway, here's a recent photo I took for Corbin of the lovely fall stars at night.
This definitely is why I love where my parents live and hope that they will never move.
Hip hip hooray for fall weather!
