Life's Fabulous Journey

Earlier today, I was sitting in the middle of my floor reading Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. I was a site, with tubs and boxes and piles of books scattered everywhere. But I was lost in this book from my child hood. Why? Because I wanted to. I wanted to do something for me, which was take a moment to read a book that I loved as a child and take a break from the "which pile should this book go in ? Should I take this one to use? Maybe I should leave this one here..."  Revisiting stories that I grew up loving.... You find out that they never get old and you never forget the story. I guess moments like that have been sparse for me for quite some time. Jared had told me that I needed to start doing things for "me," stuff that I wanted to do.  Having a moment of me time instead of going full force for everything and everyone else. So I've been trying, and it's not always consistent, but I am learning how good it is for me, like taking a moment to enjoy a pi...

Its amazing how you can have so much you want to say, and when you finally get the chance to sit down and write about it, You have no idea where to begin.  When your mind is in a constant fog because you have so much bouncing around in there between school, and work and life in general.  Things have been pretty exciting in my life since the last time I wrote.... As you all know, and this is probably the most exciting piece of news, I AM FINALLY ENGAGED!!! :) Jared proposed to me on our trip to Florida.  It was a moment in my life that I will never forget.  I was so thankful that he was able to come down, just so he would have a vacation of his own.  I was completely in  shock that he had planned this whole thing out with the help of Mike and Gayle.  On June 10th, 2013, we had a night off from watching the kids and he took me to dinner at an AMAZING restaurant where I spilled my water, broke the glass, sliced my finger, and was completely mortified t...

"...Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, O f cabbages and kings.   And why the sea is boiling hot,  And whether pigs have wings." Why not start off a blog with on of my favorite lines from one of my favorite stories. Alice in Wonderland.  It pretty much sums up the essence of this blog.  For I have a lot to say, a lot to share, a lot to talk about.  So this is your warning, you do not have to read it all. So, I'm going to start with elaborating on my last days of my 30 days of thankful(since I missed it) I know it was way back in November, but I have it on my heart to share. You'll find out why I missed it soon enough. I have really missed my blog! So I left off at day 26.  For Brokenness.  Monday the 26th, I was ready to quit at everything. I was overwhelmed and frustrated and just ready to stop.  I was so tired of school and had completely screwed up on a few things, as well as failed my math test.  I had bills to pay and no money, have...

I guess I am way over due for a blog.  I never really take the time to sit down and write one anymore.  What better time than in class..... Lol  For once we have a free period. Dr Murphy is out of town and we are suppose to be working on his presentation.  We are all more concerned with lesson plans right now(gonna be the death of me). Out of all the classes I have right now in the education program, there is one that is the absolute worst.  Not because of the subject matter(its language arts) but because of the teacher.  I have never had a teacher so unorganized, unprepared, and really having no idea what the heck they are teaching.  New professor, never taught college before, only thing he has taught is social studies for middle and high school.... seriously? I don't even know what to think anymore.  And I can't go to the Dean, bc from what I have heard he is about worthless too.  There is no talking to either of th...

I feel like my blog is full of cobwebs.... Haven't written in a while! And trust me I have a lot to share.  Yes, I know, I am in class right now and should be intently watching these presentations that are jsut SO interesting......(not) but really, I can't focus on them. They aren't anything that I need for my finals anyway. Finals...yes.  Next week I have finals.  Ready for it to be OVER.  I have everything I need turned in for the Education program in the fall and should be hearing from them sometime during the summer. Passed the GACE ;) SO thankful for that. I was way stressed.  Really enjoying my Education classes(unless I'm sitting here doing something pointless like today).  The papers haven't been too awful either,its just been a lot, very time consuming as you can tell since I haven't wrote in a while!  The worst part has been the people.... Thre are jsut soem people that I am like... If you become a teacher.... oh my goodness....  Not onl...

Finding time to post this week. Which is miraculous bc I usually don't have the free time on Mondays, but I managed to find some today. Also, as you may have noticed, I changed fonts.... I love the fancy but its too hard to read =/ As many of you know, I am full time at DSC(yay.....not).  Ok so its not the most enjoyable place in the world, BUT I am in my EDUC classes and I would much rather be here than in my core classes that I have FINALLY gotten through.  Being full time has been a BIG change for me, very hard actually. I started in on this process when I left Preschool about 2 years ago.  Probably one of the scariest things I have ever done. God was definitely pushing me out of my comfort zone in many ways, to stand up for myself, to take on things that I never would have before, and most of all, to just trust him.  Some of you may or may not know all the reasons why I left preschool, but that is another story for another day, one of my main goals was taki...
