Today was my day to head to Holy Spirit and meet everyone that I'll be working with! It was a great experience but it's about an hour commute. Luckily Justin's dad showed me a way that avoids most commuter traffic so hopefully I won't hit much when I'm driving to work. I officially start next Monday.
I got to meet a teen that helps out at the church along with all of my co-workers and the Youth Ministry assistant that I'll be working with. Everyone was super nice and it was so good to meet them! There are a few people who have only been there about a year or two so I feel better coming in to a church that has some other new hires. I'll be going with the teens to CHWC in Oklahoma City, OK in a few weeks and I'm really excited to go on a mission trip with them! But I know I'm going to miss Alive in You this year, especially since the theme is the Eucharist.
I have a good size office and a church e-mail and everything! I'm a legit youth minister now. However, you have to be 25 to be considered a true "adult" in the Diocese of Dallas so I'll have to get special permission to drive and be a chaperone on things for the next 3 years. And right when I was actually feeling like a grown up!
Reflection: Last night Justin and I went to the movies. It was such a casual thing, "hey, you wanna see a movie?" We haven't been able to do that ever. Being able to be around Justin without me worrying about leaving and us having to plan a bunch of things is great! I think he mostly likes it because he can play video games with me around without him feeling guilty...
Lesson Learned: Texans drive a lot slower than people in Atlanta. They actually follow the speed limits on highways, which will take some getting used to!
