Family

I am sitting here staring out my window with a heavy heart. I am so far away from the people I love. I am truly thankful for the opportunity that God has given me, but I am sad that my family can't really enjoy it with me. I am living my dream, and that is amazing, I just wish I could hug my family. This is the first time I have been too far to just come home for awhile. I am praying that I get the job with NCMEC. If that happens, I will be working in a position I would be awesome at, and I would have the money to visit home more often. I am disheartnend that I may not be able to get home for Christmas. I would not have left my pets behind in CO, but having them here makes for a more difficult vacation planning. Sure I could just pile them both in the car and drive home, but what if I get stranded there. My life is here now, and it is so complicated with going home. I miss my family and I wish we were independently wealthy so that money wasn't an issue. Unfortunately money is always an issue. I just pray that someday money is no longer a limiting factor in my and my families' lives.

Fun stuff

I had probably one of the best weeks ever here in VA! I was handpicked for an internship with the ATF-Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, as well as handpicked for an interview with the State Department for a PT student job. This week I went to the ATF to fill out the paperwork and am more than excited to start interning there. There will be some many amazing opportunities for me, that I can hardly wait. Then, I interview with the State Department and they put me on the short list of candidates that are being recommended for hire! Incredible! Plus I got assignments back and scored full points on everything, think I aced my midterm and feel totally confident with classes again. I am so excited and thankful for this chapter in my life. I can't wait to begin!
