Tuesday night Bible study

Last night was the last meeting we had with our Tuesday night Bible study in 2018. It was so wonderful to have time together. These ladies have grown very near and dear to my heart. In honor of the night we all brought treats I made a cheesecake that didn’t quite turn out like it helped but my first attempt!

Job Change yes again.!

So for those of you counting i am about to have yet another job change! yes, i know it seems like a lot. But i think this one should stick for a while. I start on November 26 with Starbucks. I will be a manager in training first and when I am trained and a store opens i will be a store manager. Could be anywhere from 8 weeks to 8 months. But either way i am excited to work for one of my favorite places to go!
