This past two years has brought many changes in my life. Some good, some not good! I'm so thankful to have a relationship with God.
This past year God has blessed me in so many ways! I am finding who I am and finding that I am a capable, strong woman. I actually like myself so much more than I did in the past. I feel that I am becoming my true self once again and it's a place I feel most comfortable!
In October last year I started a new job - with a roofing company! I started part-time, just a couple of days a week and am now full-time wearing many hats! I never knew that I would love the roofing industry as much as I do, nor did I know there was so much involved!
I am an executive assistant to the Safety and HR manager. He's a great boss and has also become a good friend. I feel very "at home" where I am in my job! The president of the company is great too . . . and, oh yeah he's my brother! I feel honored to work with him everyday and I'm learning so much!
And . . . I have my own parking space!
I've never had my own personal parking space before! What do you think?
A couple of weeks ago, my brother sent me to Florida for some training. I was in Delray Beach for a full week and it was beautiful! My hotel was two blocks from the beach and 7 blocks from school. I walked everywhere I went in town and loved every minute of it - although the first day I walked to class, I carried my backpack with my laptop inside. By the time I made it to class, I was pretty tired of carrying it. I weighed it and it weighed 22 LBS! I left my laptop at the hotel every day after that - much more enjoyable walk!
Here's the view from my hotel room!
I also took pictures of the drawbridge (which I walked over everytime I went to class). We don't really have drawbridges in Oklahoma - at least that I've ever seen and I knew my granddaughter would like to see it. It opened every day about 7:45am, as I walked TO class and then again about 4:45pm as I walked back to the hotel after class.
The training was great! I learned how to read blueprints, a lot of roofing terminology, how to draw plans to scale and a LOT about the different types of roofs. Where I work we do only commercial roofs - no residential, so it's really interesting to me.
God has truly blessed me and I am thankful!
