What a GREAT day!!!

Ok so this week has been non-stop. I was at home in IL over the weekend. I had an interview for a research coordinator position (that is what I do now). I was offered the job. I knew I had another interview coming up so I asked if I could wait to give them an answer. SO Monday morning I got up at 3:15 (central time) and drove from Lake Zurich, IL to Kalamazoo, MI. I worked all day and came back to Lansing. Tuesday was a long, but normal day. It was my birthday. I was worried I would spend it alone, but my neighbor is a great sport and went shopping with me. He learned first hand about the "Kroll Lady Freak Out" If you haven't experienced it yet count your blessings. :) Any way we went shopping so I could find a new suit for my interview on Wednesday. I was being flown to Houston to interview for a very nice job. I would be based out of my house and be traveling about 3 nights a week. Anyway we went to 3 stores looked at all the suits and I didn't see much at all. Finally I found a nice jacket, so I got that, new shoes, and thanks to my fashion plate sister I got a necklace and earrings to accent the outfit. I was ready to knock them dead. So I got to be at 12:30 only to wake up at 4:15, leave the house by 5:45. I flew from Lansing to Detroit, 25 minutes in the air, then Detroit to Houston. I figured I would sleep on the plane. Not so much...I hate middle seats. Then had the interview. It went great. Sat at the Houston airport for 2 1/2 hours until my plane left to start the long road home. Flew from Houston to Minneapolis, MN, then to Lansing. My head hit the pillow at 12:30 am. Got up today at 6:15 to go back to work. Received the final offer from the first job place. then spent the rest of the day stressing about what I was going to do. I hadn't heard from the Houston people and after much soul searching, and many discussions I decided to accept the first offer. It makes the most sense.
With all that being said, I will be back in IL in April. I will work my last day at BRI on April 18th, and start my new job on April 21st. I can't wait.
So I get home tonight and see 2 things in the mail. My Kohl's charge card bill...anyone want it? And a letter from Sean's school. I opened it and cried instantly. Sean will be starting school again in May. So many of our prayers were answered in such a short time. Thank you God. We could not have done this with out you. We are so blessed to have God be watching us and leading us down the right paths.
So then after calling everyone we know I check my email and saw a note from my aunt. My cousin has had some big challenges over the past three years and they are all behind him now. Again God graced me and my family. God is GREAT!!!
Ok well I am going to bed I am too tired to keep my eyes open.
