Opportunities

A lot has happened this past week. It was a busy week with school in general. I spent every spare second doing homework, working on projects, exercising, working, and going to church. Work has been challenging as we are adapting to a new system. I went into work on Wednesday and the lady I work with said that the boss wanted to see me, but I was not in trouble. They offered me a position. It would be a huge responsibility and very challenging. I am not sure if I want to remain in Springfield for the summer, so I am praying about it and weighting my options. It was a good feeling though to have an offer. Some relief=)

So I called Keegan on Thursday and all day every time I would talk to him, he always had to go and he would never tell me what he was doing. I immediately knew he was doing something for Valentine's Day and that he was not going to tell me. Well, later that night after he got off of work he told me I would be expecting a package by 10:30 in the morning and I need to be sure to get it. I got the package but I was not allowed to open it until Valentines Day. Well, with my curiosity and anxiousness I could not wait. So I planned to open it at midnight and I made it known. At midnight we both got on the phone and he opened his card and I opened my box. Let's just say I am the luckiest girl ever! I open the box to find red roses sprinkled inside with red and heart paper decorated soo cute=) On the top was sitting a white rose, which he also got me last year, a tradition now I guess. I absolutely love Dove dark smooth chocolate so he got me a bar of that and a chocolate dove rose. Another tradition, third year in a row, is a heart shaped box filled with Reeses. Keegan and I have this thing where when he sings me a song it always is, "You Are My Sunshine." He was in Target getting my chocolate and he heard that song playing. He thought to himself, "I have to find where that is. I do not care how ugly or cute it is, I have to get it for Christa." So, he finds a Valentine's snow globe. When you wind it up at the bottom and it plays that song. It was soooo cute. Finally, there was a DVD. Keegan was on the webcam and we watched it together. It was sooo AMAZING! It started with a short slideshow of some of Keegan's favorite pictures of us. Keegan made a DVD of seven of 'our spots' that are special in our relationship. He took a video camera and went to each place recording it and him saying some very special things. Keegan made heart shaped stickers with a KC on them, symbolizing us. At every spot he placed a sticker marking our spot. It was sooo cute! I am sooo impressed and I would of never of guessed this in my entire life! Some of you may know and some may not, but Keegan and I had broken up for a little while as things got hard being apart. Well, Keegan and I were not 'official' again even though we basically were. He wanted to wait until we were in person again to ask me out, but he could not wait. It was soo precious, the same exact spot where he asked me out 11 months ago, March 14th 2008, he asked me out again. He had that same white rose in his hand that I now have on my desk, and asked me to officially be his girlfriend again! He got me...I cried. It was sooo special to me. He even overnighted this package to me, so I could have it on Valentine's Day. I am sooo blessed to be in a relationship with Keegan. I love him=)

Well on Valentine's Day I baby sat for a 11 month old girl. She is soo adorable and the family is a great family. They go to the same church as me. They are new to the whole church thing though. I am hoping that God uses me to witness to them and that I can be a testimoney to them. Before I left their house, we started talking a little bit about God and China, where I used to live. I am wanting to be a witness of my faith at all times. I have been seeking God to place opportunities in my way and I am excited to see how God is going to use me.
