Growing up. Thee Answer.

This post is long overdue, so sorry for all those patiently waiting on an update.

Before I let you all know the Answer to our journey and where we have landed as a couple, let me take you through a little bit of our journey.

As Michael spent over an hour filling out an application as an armed security guard, I sat in the car. Mind you it is VERY warm outside so did I have the A/C on and watched a movie on Netflix. But seriously AN HOUR +?! I literally thought something had happened to him. I called, texted, and prayed that he was still alive. I know it sounds silly, but in an area that I didn't know, I was a little skeptical. . . .
However, he came out looking like a stud in his gray dress pants, white collared shirts, and his black tie (my husband :).

He had an interview the next morning and apparently he REALLY impressed the gentleman in the office. My thoughts: "Awesome! This could be it, our open door!" The interview went very well and he had another interview set up for the following morning. During that time, he was offered the job. An armed security guard! His dream job, carrying a gun!

I had a successful interview with a company that would be a dream to work for (NOT NBC.INC). Great, right?! Michael had a job and I was still successful at finding openings. That's when our adventure became reality. . . . . Do we move?

Church this morning was great! A very different experience than what we are use too, but the message spoke directly to me. Topic: Growing up/Maturing. In what parts of my life do I need to mature or grow up? Ok, so growing up means living on my own, not relying on my parents, and being financially sound. The next one, mature. I would like to think that I am mature, but what does that mean? I realized that I may be somewhat mature in my earthly life, but what about my spiritual life? The Answer.

During our journey of a different future, I think we found what we were looking for. Michael and I have taken a huge leap into a deeper a relationship because of this journey. God showed us that and used many people to make that possible. We have taken many steps towards keeping Christ centered in our relationship that we may not have experienced otherwise. We have been given the opportunity to ask each other questions about life, love, and God that had never surfaced. We have shared our fears. And we have fallen deeper in love. Without each other, I'm not sure where we would be. But, I'm glad we are here, together, sharing this news. . .

We are coming back to Ohio. There is relief knowing that God has given us peace about our decision. As great as this faith journey was, it was even more perfect coming to know there were greater plans than us finding jobs. A faith journey for us came to be finding: faith in each other, faith in our families, and most importantly faith in God.

Thank you Mom and Dad H, Mom and Dad P, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, and everyone else - for showing us... There is no place like home. :) We love and miss you all! SEE YOU SOON!

Continuing on...

My hubby drove me to my first interview Tuesday morning. I was excited, nervous, and a little skeptical. He started asking what I knew about the company. I told him "they are vague on their website and since they are a new company there didn't seem to be much online. However, they emphasize face-to-face contact and are training people to become account managers. It sounds a little fishy, like it is a door-to-door job, but I guess we'll find out". He took it upon himself to look online (while I was waiting to go in for the interview) and found a few things that I didn't find the multiple times I had searched, reviews. Reviews from previous employees and a website based on "SCAMS". This is what we found....

*Nashville Business Consulting (Nashville, TN)

Nashville Business Consulting/NBC Inc (1200 Clinton St Suite 212, Nashville, TN 37203, 615-891-5260) is a Cydcor ICL (Independently owned Corporate Licensee). Cydcor affiliates advertise entry-level jobs and management training, but in reality they are recruiting for door-to-door commission sales people. Cydcor affiliates use the term "face to face" instead of door-to-door. 

If the job ad for entry-level training for sales, marketing, management "sounds too good to be true", be cautious and ask lots of questions during the job interview. Is the job door-to-door sales, commission only, and with no benefits?  Will you be an employee or a contractor? Outside sales require driving which means gasoline expense. Are you sure you really want to work on commission pay driving possibly hundreds of miles a week? 

RipoffReport, Nashville Business Consulting

The company states it was founded in 2007 yet their website domain name was created in 2009.      /end*

Therefore, I called and canceled the interview as we were leaving the parking lot of NBC Inc. and headed on to our next destination. 

Today looked a little more promising, but I will discuss that in more detail later. :) 

CHECK BACK! 

Thank you for all who are praying and supporting us during our "faith journey". Please continue to pray for peace, safety, and open hearts to use us where God wants us.

A leap of faith....

As this may be old news to some people, it also may be new news to others.

On Monday, July 16, the hubby and I will be hitting the highway to Tennessee. No, not for vacation but for "possible" residence.

For the past few months it has been something we have planned, thought, and prayed about. The opportunity arose when we found out that our friends' housemates were planning on moving out and getting a home for themselves. For us it was the perfect opportunity for us to begin an adventure. From there we began planning, talking to our employers, watching our money, and preparing our hearts for this change. It still hasn't hit me yet that everything I've known for the past 21 years is about to change.

As of now a few things have changed concerning our living arrangements. However, I am still certain that God is going to bless us through this process as we experience life outside of NW Ohio.

Please check back! I plan to continue blogging about our journey and our excitement!
A leap of faith is what I want to call it or is it a highway to havoc?

Completion

It doesn't look like I am going to do to well on my goal of one post per week. Oh well, I guess it saves you from reading about nonsense. 

My Associate's is complete! Making Dean's List is also a completed success. 

Wedding plans are coming along nicely. I purchased my wedding dress way to quickly and now I have found another one that I have my eye on. I suggest to any bride to just wait for the dress part. Plan as much as you can before you get the dress. I never thought that I would changed my mind once I had also purchased my dress, but here I am, really close to purchasing the one that I have fallen in love with. Change change change - This should be the theme of my wedding.

First of the Last?

My first blog, on my time. There is no college professor making me do it. No one forcing me to write about a topic that is clearly a waste of time. This is the beginning of a journey throughout the days/weeks/months of still having independence and freedom until the license is signed and my last name changes. Don't get me wrong I am very excited about the changes in the next few months, however, there be more than just me to feed (which I already struggle with). My poor husband will not die of starvation. Either I will have to be introduced to the world of cooking or we will be called on by name at local restaurants.

Finals are in session next week, a consistent 40 hours work week is calling my name, and no school to worry about for at least another 8 months. 

That's all for now folks. The last required reading assignment is due tomorrow and it's going to be Hell, Dante's Inferno, which is what the novel is about. Ironic ya think? 

Cheers! To my first blog post. Let's see how long it takes me break my goal of 1 post per week. Wish me luck!
