Falling perfectly into place

It's been a while since my last blog, and a lot has happened so I thought it was about time for an update (although I imagine it'll be old news for most people, but still it'll be a nice blog for me to look back on one day).

I've recently found out that I will be graduating with a 2:1 (including a 2:1 in my dissertation), which I'm very pleased with. It was what I was aiming for and considering the busyness of this year I'm pretty chuffed.

I have job! I'm loving my placement at the moment on NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), and it's even changed my mind about health visiting! And then to get a job in NICU is perfect. I'm so pleased and it gives so much security for the coming months. I feel honoured that God has placed me in a job in which I will be supporting families in such a precious time of their lives, it's a real privilege and hope that I'll be able to do the job well.

PJ and I have a flat! We looked round one flat, liked it, went for it, started the process... and the landlord pulled out. Very annoying! So we looked around some more and found another - it's nicer, but more expensive and unfurnished, although it has everything we want (a spare room and nice big lounge/diner) so it's worth it, and we're both relieved to have somewhere to live again once we're married! We both really want our home to be a place where we can glorify God and bring a little bit of His Kingdom to earth so finding a place where we could welcome people into was important, and praise God we've got the perfect place to do just that.

So all that's left now is 3 weeks of placement and then the wedding! With just under 7 weeks to go until the wedding day I'd say we're fairly in control and very excited! 7 weeks is nothing compared to 7 years :)
One of the things I'm looking forward to most about being married is just being able to see each other, and being able to chat - we're both pretty busy people and for most of the time we've been together we've seen each other weekly or less, so it'll be nice to see each other most, if not every, day :)

I'm very thankful to God for pouring out so many blessings, it's amazing how within a couple of weeks everything has fallen so perfectly into place. God really does keep His promises and provides.

With only three weeks left in Portsmouth I'm beginning to process the fact that I'll be leaving so soon- I am going to miss it so much, but I'm looking forward to the next adventure :)
