Day One

Kidding... mostly. Crazy cat lady is the back up plan.

Well, today I got my car licensed in Saskatchewan, got my driver's license switched over, and found that Sask Learning has cashed my cheque so I should be finding about certification shortly. The only thing left is the health card and then I will officially be a resident of Saskatchewan... again.

At the moment I am working at GCTCC Canada - basically I call people to help them get their credit back on track. When I get my letter stating that I am eligible for teacher certification I'll be submitting my application to sub within a half hour radius of my parents' home. I'm hoping to get lots of teaching hours and eventually a mat leave that starts later in the year. I want as much experience as possible to set me up for next year.

I've been attending West Portal and am trying to decide what I want to do in the fall. I'd love to be on the worship team, I know there's a need for youth workers, I'm not sure about Sunday School, and of course one needs a care group. I just don't want to do too much and burn myself out right away. So please pray that God gives me direction in that.

Veritas is the light of my life. She'll always be my first cat. She's crazier than I am. She missed my parents while they were away for Nate's funeral and so excited when they came back. Somehow, even in the midst of tears she is able to bring a smile to my face. She is very much my baby girl even though she outweighs and outsizes most babies I know. Seriously.

So I'm still feeling a little discouraged, but I'm getting used to my new hair cut (and managed to use the hair straightner successfully). I am praying that God will point out something to me soon, even if an army of cats is of certain interest to me. One month left until the new school year.
