"Your thoughts, words, and deeds are painting the world around you." -Jevel Diamond Taylor
I believe this statement to be so true. I think there are so many ways that we can affect each other's happiness, as well as having a profound impact on our own. Whether that be through the giving of our service and time to others, or simply spending quality time with our family and friends. We don't have the ability to control everything that takes place in our lives, seeing as the Lord has His own plans for us; however, we most certainly have the capability to do our best to enjoy the ride.
Life has been a whirlwind for me the past couple of months. Since my last post I have attained a new job in Wichita that is a wonderful opportunity for me to grow professionally and is also closely related to my degree. In my opinion, design is design and every experience that builds on that set of skills is a good one. I started part-time in March, which means I stayed part-time at Attitudes Dancewear as well. Needless to say, I was working 55+ hours a week which kept me crazy busy all throughout spring. Last week, I began full-time at the design company so the waters have finally started to calm down. I am enjoying getting into the full swing of things and getting to know my fellow employees much better now that I am here all day long. I'm doing my best not to get overwhelmed and just take each day nice and slow and soak in as much as I can!
So there is the work portion of my update....now here is my "extracurricular" update! My friends rock. I really can't think of anything better to say than that! My pool of friends is getting rather large and I love it. There is always so many wonderful things going on and conversations to be had. Last week my schedule looked a little like this-monday night: b-day party, tuesday night: Theology on Tap downtown, wednesday-I took this night off, Thursday night: concert with a few of the greatest people I know! Friday-partybus, Saturday-party at a friends house, sunday-father's day with the family and then back to Monday! This isn't my typical week, but thats just to give you a brief idea of how many wonderful experiences I have been having lately!
Other new updates: Magdalen's youth group is going great...we are getting ready to go on our big mission trip to Austin, TX in July and I couldn't be more excited for that adventure! Becca (my little sister) has moved home for the summer. Bathroom=cramped, haha ok she really isn't in the way and its really wonderful to have her back for a little bit. This is probably the last time we will be under the same roof, so its good for us to be around each other as much as possible. Gigi and Ryan have a new puppy named Hope, who has expensive taste in shoes, I know this because she had a little snack with one of my Sperry's. The roomies (aka mom and dad) are doing wonderful and as always looking for new ventures to add to their already insane schedules. But, that is how the Gans family does it!
I promise to be better with the updates!
Peace & Blessings,
Gansy
