HALLELUJAH! I am OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED!

So… I had my second interview today and they offered me the job!! HALLELUJAH! I am ECSTATIC! My internship finished EXACTLY 4 weeks ago today and I am now officially employed as a CHILD LIFE SPECIALIST. The Lord has truly blessed us in so many ways. This position just affirms that I am doing exactly what He wants me to be doing. If yall don’t know… I quit my boring, unsatisfying full-time job last July to follow my passion. In doing so, I took an assistant position basically for peanuts to get my foot in the door. With persistence and a LOT of FAITH, I can honestly say I have achieved my dream job. YEA! I still have a LOT to learn but am so EXCITED for the opportunities ahead. I absolutely LOVE my field – if you’re curious what it is or what I do… Please ask – I LOVE it and LOVE sharing with others what it’s all about! My official start date is June 23rd – just a few more weeks for PACKING and UNPACKING! Could we add any more EXCITEMENT to our lives?! I am seriously on CLOUD 9! Home of my NEW AWESOME employer...

The Cree’s Have a New Nest… Look Out for Our NEW ADDRESS!!

YEA!! So we closed on our VERY FIRST OWN HOME on Tuesday May 27th. They say third times a charm and that’s how it worked out for us (regarding closing). Originally the closing date was set for 5/15 and then 5/21 and FINALLY 5/27. So YES… on a glorious day during a Texas summer storm we became OFFICIAL HOMEOWNERS! We may have been drenched due to the perfectly timed downpour but all you homeowners know how much you look forward to the rain and not watering the yard - we simply found this as a the perfect sign of good things to come. So BLESS the RAIN and BLESS OUR HOME!
