1 week + A Monday Down

School has now been in session for 1 week and 1 day.  It has already been a rollar coaster ride.  A couple of bad days followed by a couple of good ones and then a bad one and then a good one.  I have a feeling this is going to be the rollar coaster year.  I am hoping to get my control down and have a great class.  We will see.  On top of it being a roller coaster ride, I am missing my man up in Fayetteville.  I can't wait until Friday and my first trip up there to see him!!  Plus, a Razorback football game...my 1st one to go to in Fayetteville.  I went to one in Little Rock while I was in college.  I am so excited!!  I must also say for the world to see that I have the most amazing boyfriend.  I still cannot believe that God has blessed me with such an awesome guy!!  :)

Summer 2010: OVER

Summer 2010 officially ends tomorrow.  Unlike last summer, I am not completely ready for this summer to be over.  It has been one of the best summers of my life.  I worked half of it and then spent the other half going on vacation, visiting friends and family and spending time with my amazing boyfriend.  I have truly realized this summer how blessed that I truly am.  God has been so good to me and sometimes I feel truly undeserving of it all.  I don't want him to take it all away though because it is wonderful.  As this summer ends, I am greatly anticipating the next year and what all God still has in store for me.  It is pretty amazing to think of the possibilities!!

Summer is drawing to an end!

It has been a little while since I last posted and so much has happened. My initial frustrations with my friend are still there but I am having to put that aside and leave it in God's hands. I am at one of the happiest points in my life right now and can't let things get that down. God has brought an amazing guy into my life, and I am so excited to see where this path takes he and I. I don't even know if I can tell the story on here and do it complete justice. Jarrod and I begin emailing and texting back in April and then went on our first date in June. It has been a pretty exciting journey so far and one that I am pretty sure, God has a hand in. Only time will tell what the future holds for us but I am super excited to find out.

This summer as a whole has been great. I worked the month of June so I stayed around here and then made up for last summer being stuck at my parents house and working all of June during the month of July. I visited lots of friends that I had not seen in a long time. While visiting friends, I was finally able to meet their sweet children...from 4 years old down to newborns. It was great. I took my first trip out of the country to visit Cozumel, Mexico with my parents and brother Phillip. It was awesome. I spent time with my wonderful new boyfriend getting to know him better and just spend good quality time with him. I am very pleased with how this summer went. I feel that all the good things can be attributed right back to God. I am so excited to see what the next year will bring. (It's funny, as a teacher, the year goes from August to July rather than January to December.)
