What a difference a year makes....

Last year, I was working very hard on trying to start the next chapter in my life, an actual career.  The career I went to school for, teaching and coaching.

If you follow this link, you'll find the post I wrote after I had decided to "let go and let God".

That was posted on July 15, 2011. 

The last year of my life has literally been a whirlwind.  I started dating Jennifer, got engaged to Jennifer, and before the year is over, I will marry Jennifer. 

It is definitely obvious that the Lord's plan was better than mine.  I was DYING for a new job last year. 

Let's look at how it might have been.

Had I gotten a job then I would not have been creeping Jennifer on Facebook and would not have commented on that picture of her.  i also wouldn't have been able to accept her invitation to go to a random Rangers weekday game.

Basically, everything that has happened with Jennifer would never have happened if I would have had a coaching/teaching job this last year.

All of that to say, a year and a day after I made the "It is Well" post, I got a call from Henderson ISD.

So here I am in my final week of my time at ETBU.  I walked onto this campus in August of 2005, walked off in December 2009, came back two months later in March 2010, and now I'm walking away.

My time at ETBU has been extremely special to me.  I met the woman I'm going to marry here (and then she left me here).  Some of my closest friends were made while I was here.  I spent two awesome summers on Rec Team, which got me connected to those crazy people in Louisiana known as my Fuego Family!  I got my first real world job here in 2008 while still a student.

But my life at ETBU is over now.  Although I have been in Henderson before it is a whole new chapter and new things especially after December 29, it'll be a whole new adventure!

I'm just saying, stay tuned. Its just getting good.
