Miss Whitney

So, I am finished with my third day of nannying of this week and I feel so blessed to be spending my week at  Flathead lake taking care of some pretty cute kiddos! What has amazed me the most this week is that I went into this summer having NO job opportunities and now I have three or four! Let me explain, the family that I have been hanging out with this week has had a lot of relatives and friends who have been at the lake and a handful of them got my information and might use me to babysit. It started yesterday when a friend of the family knew some other families who need a sitter and got my information. Then today a family who lives in Columbia Falls asked me for my information too! From watching the Emerson kids this week, to their friends asking me for my information, to Grandma's friend telling me she might need me on Fridays, I am so overwhelmed with JOY.

I feel so completely blessed that all these different job opportunities are jumping out at me this week. Especially by the fact that I had no possibilities for a job at the beginning of the summer. God is so absolutely good to me. I feel so blessed by the Emerson's and their friends. I am so glad for this opportunity to help them out this week. I absolutely love children and love spending time with them, so for me to be able to do this with my summer is just so great. I know this is where God wanted me to be.

Today while on my way home driving Gilbert, I stopped to get gas. I felt like such a big girl, making money, driving my own car, and pumping gas. (Good thing Paige taught me how to pump gas last quarter!) It feels good to spend time driving and really getting use to the van while I am here before getting back to SLO.
I feel so happy that even though last year was hard, I was able to grow so much. I am so happy to have this stress free summer, working on nannying as well as my online philosophy class. Life is simple right now and that's the way I love it.

So, tonight as we get ready for another night of summer baseball, I can't help but smile at all the tan lines on my back (from two different bathing suits, my sports bra, and tank top). I am so glad this is where God has me this summer. From tan lines, to goats, to Gilbert, or Flathead lake, this summer is working out exactly the way it is suppose to be.

And as what my kids call me, I leave you with:
- Miss Whitney
tonight. :)
