I’ve been reading a lot of money blogs lately - most recently, is Her Two Cents.    There are lots of changes coming up in my life, and a lot of it has to do with money.

My internship finished on April 23.  I had my class seminar class last night, and I graduate May 20 with my Master of Science in Counseling degree.  A couple days later, I leave for England.  I return June 9th, and my new job starts June 14th.

I’m starting a job at Community Healthlink, where I will be a clinician in the Families and Communities Together program, working with kids aged 4-22.  It’s a wraparound program where members of the child’s community gets involved to help out the child.  They provide help, and also let the child know that there are many people who care about him/her.   I am very excited about it, and will let you know more when *I* know more.

Barny is hopefully moving here in late June/July.  His application for his Fiancé Visa is in the last stage - the US Embassy in London has it, and needs to call him for an interview.

With him moving over here, and me starting a new job, and us needing a place to live - money has been on my mind a lot lately.  I’m currently working at Macy’s three days a week, and this week and next week I’m babysitting every afternoon.  I just feel overwhelmed with everything that is coming up, and hope that I can handle it.

Thinking about that whole “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.”

Old - I was thinking about wearing my grandmother’s diamond and ruby ring.  It was my dad’s mother’s, and she gave it to my mom, who doesn’t wear any diamonds or fancy jewelry, and she gave it to me.

New - my dress

Borrowed - This one I’m not sure about.  I made my own wedding sandals from a design I saw online.  I suppose you could say I borrowed the design?

Blue - When I left hospice, the ladies bought me a beautiful white gold and blue pearl necklace.  They wanted it to be my something blue.  I think I will wear it as a bracelet because I already have a beautiful necklace.
