Happy Thoughts

Training was exhausting mentally and physically, but I am officially CALM trained and I've passed the test!! My legs are tired and my muscles are thankful for a rest, but even more than that, I'm just glad to be done with it. I still have a LOT more training ahead of me, but this was a big step toward being official. I turned in my hours for the first time today, so I'm incredibly thankful that my first check is on its way with 88 hours on it! I have the weekend off, and I'm working 40 hours next week in one cottage! Being in one cottage means they want me there, which means they might be looking to hire someone in that cottage full time. Even though I'm working 40 hours, I'm not officially full time yet.

Walker got his business cards, name tag and first pay check at Havertys today! I can tell he's really excited, even though I haven't talked to him yet. I've just gotten picture text messages. He gets off at eight, so we are going to go to the Japanese steak house for dinner! I'm pretty excited, and I'm super happy for him.

I'm really thankful for the things that have been happening in my life. I have a great job, where every day is different and I'm surrounded by Godly, caring staff and kids who just need love and attention.

I want a puppy. I've officially decided that I need some kind of companion to keep me company in my apartment. I have the lowest pet deposit I've ever heard of, so I might as well have a pet, right?! I saw a picture of a labradoodle on pinterest last night and fell in love with it. They are soooo cute. I'll probably rescue a dog from the pound, but one day I want a labradoodle. and a bulldog.
