Things Are FINALLY Coming Together!!!!!! :)

Oh my goodness. I am just so enthusiastic right now that I have to blog about it!!!! I don't remember if I ever put the reason why I came to Germany on my blog, other than that Heavenly Father obviously wanted me here. So here is the short version of the story, because it will help make my enthusiasm more clear. :)

After I graduated high school in 2012, I went to college in the fall. While I was there it was a really hard year. Even though I made life long friends who I love to pieces, it was just hard being away from my family. (Which now seems hilarious because I am 8000 miles away from home!!! Haha.) So that school year was rough and it was really stressful having to worry about paying for school. I have never had to worry about paying for everything on my own and I didn't have a job to help pay for things. That was extremely hard. I ended up deciding to transfer to a school right near my home so that I could live at home and not have to worry about paying for extra things. About 3 weeks before I was to begin school in 2013, I found out that my FAFSA had been selected for verification. There was a TON of paperwork that I had to fill out, and plus all of my transfer things I had to do, my financial aid did not go through in time for school. And so I had to take that year off of school to work and earn money. So the school year 2013-2014 I was just going to work at the elementary school.

Then, I think in September, I started to have the feeling that I should get another job so I could earn more money. I began looking but nothing was really hiring, and I did NOT want to work in a fast food/restaurant type of a job again. I was talking with one of the moms that I babysat for and she mentioned a website she used to find a nanny job. So I thought maybe that would be a good idea. Stay home, find a family close by to nanny and still work at the elementary school. I signed up for this website and almost immediately started getting emails from families all over the world... none of which were in Utah. I turned down most of them right away. And then I got a few from Utah but none of them felt right. That is when a family in Germany contacted me. We started talking and I really liked them, but long story short, they went with another girl and I was devastated. Then I found another family in Germany and here I am!

So the whole reason that I even thought of being a nanny was because my school didn't go through and it was the most frustrating thing ever. This year while I have been in Germany I had to obviously get things figured out for school while I am here. Which I am finding out was WAY more frustrating than getting it figured out at home. But a couple of weeks ago I found out that I was selected for verification again. I was SO worried that it wasn't going to go through again and that I would have to wait another year before going to school. I had to turn in some paperwork and thankfully my mom is amazing and helped me out with it. And I just found out a few minutes ago that...........

I GET TO GO TO SCHOOL IN THE SPRING AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My financial aid went through without a glitch at all. I almost started screaming with excitement!!! I called my mom and basically screamed it at her. Haha. I have NEVER thought that I would be so excited to go to school in my entire life. Things are finally coming together for when I get home. There is nothing greater in my life right now than my desire to become a teacher. Obviously I want a family, and if that comes a long before hand than I will be more than happy, but right now as a single women, I just want to teach!!!! And now that I know I get to go to school when I get back in the Spring, I am one step closer!!!!!

I am so grateful that Heavenly Father is there watching out for me and that He cares about what I care about. I love Him so much!!!

Sorry if this was confusing at all, I wrote it really fast because I am just filled with excitement! Haha!

Thanks for reading, and even if things get frustrating, or you are worried about something, keep your head held high! It will all be okay.

Love-
Kasey :)
