Sorry I have neglected this for so long. School and social activities have been ruling my life for the past month and a half but it's been good.
Since the last time I've blogged a lot has happened. Two big things:
First:: I went home, which was so great. It was short, but I got to see everyone I wanted to and spend quality time with a lot of people so it was nice. I loved spending Friday with Jen and Emma. I've miss them all so much, so it was such a blessing to have a whole day with them!! Jenny and Tony's wedding was beautiful and I was so glad I got to be back for it!!! I also LOVED seeing all the youth. I've missed all of them more then I even realized. I think my favorite part of the weekend was right when I got home Adam, Joy, Koby and I just sat in my room and talked. It was great. Brings me to tears just thinking about how great it was. I have the best siblings and boyfriend anyone could ever ask for.
Second:: I GOT A JOB!!!! I am going to be a nanny for a little boy named Duke and he has Cerebral Palsy and he is the cutest thing ever. I start the 15th and I can't wait. It will be nice to start before the semester is over just so I can make some extra money before all of my money has to go to paying for school again. WHICH I found out I have to pay less then I was thinking and will not have to take any extra loans which is such a great thing!!!!
God has really been providing for me and blessing me lately in ways I can't even imagine. Just today I was unsure of how I was getting home for Thanksgiving, and then I found a plane ticket for $212 AND I will be home longer then if I drove. God is amazing like that.
The only bad thing is I've been super stressed lately because I want to get all my homework done before Thanksgiving, but I have a lot that's due before Thanksgiving and I don't know how to balance it all, so I've decided to make a worry box. (like in Redeeming Love, if you haven't read it READ IT!! It is the most amazing book I have ever read and I don't even like books). In the book the main Character (who's name is Sarah, what are the odds:) meets this girl who has a box that she puts her prayers or worries or just anything she wants to give complete control over to God in and when God answers them she takes it out. I am so excited to make a prayer/worry box!! I know it will be a good reminder to give God complete control of everything and to see Him answer my prayers. It makes me less stressed just thinking about it!!! I think I will do it over Thanksgiving with my little sister.
OH also I found out I have to take my praxis exam next fall..... FREAKS ME OUT!! Being a teacher is a tough job. Way tougher then I ever expected. But it is so much fun too. I can't wait to be a teacher!!!!!
College is getting better and better!! I have so much fun with all the girls in my stairwell. They are just so amazing and I don't even know what I would do without them!! College is everything it's cracked up to be plus better!! I feel like every night is a new adventure to be had. Last night me and Haylee just watched clips of Glee till 12:30 (which isn't late, but we did both had to be up at 7:30 this morning). We do random stuff like that all the time and I love it. Tonight we have the Ghetto dance party. Should be pretty fun. Although I have a lot of homework I could be doing, but you only go to college once, right?
Now that I have my plane ticket I hope I can make it through the next two weeks without getting too antsy. I am just so excited to see my mom, and to be home for 8 days. I might not be able to wait!!!!
Love <3
