The End is in Site..

I can not believe that I only have 12 more school days in Cabot. Where in the world did this semester go? I teared up this past week talking to one of my little boys, Patrick, about leaving soon. Even though it is such a bitter sweet time, I can't imagine what I'll be like next May as I'm about to let my OWN first class go after a whole year--not just one semester. Here are some pictures of me and some girls--I went to one of their birthday parties, and we tye-dyed tshirts. Then, we wore them to school Monday and sported some pig tails! :) Fun times....fun times.








I have been a little down on life lately. I think it's because so many things are about to change so drastically for me. Before I know it, I'll be moving out of my house and on my own (PRAISE!!!), getting a big girl job, paying bills in a house that I've never had to before, and being at my max independence. I'm so ready, I just am scared, too, at the same time. I really need support on focusing that God is complete control, and his will will be done. I get so cosumed with life, material things, what I do, who I'm with, why I'm where I am, and I forget that I am this beautiful child that God made, and that it's not about all of those things, but how I live. My goal for this week is just to remember that in everything--at school, in my car, with my relationships--just to let go, and let God.

Goodbye Spring Break '10

It's sad to say that, well, Spring Break is pretty much over. Tomorrow, I have to do homework that I've been putting off for the past 8 days. I'm NOT looking forward to it at all. I've had a great week, of doing lots of nothing. However, I did accomplish something very big. I rearranged my furniture in my room, and organized my closet, and cleaned my room from top to bottom. It's looking spotless. Do you ever make up your bed so good that you don't want to get in it because it will mess up? Well, that's how I was before I got to lay down here about 20 minutes ago. It's a crazy thing, I can re-make my bed, but I sure did not want to mess it up!

I'm looking forward to the next five weeks of school, because after that, I GRADUATE!! May 8th is the big date, and I'm so ready and so excited. My plan is to sub the last month of school here in Conway, and then *fingers crossed* get a job here in Conway, my 'big girl job' as I like to call it. I can't wait to have my own classroom, and my own kiddos! I'm so excited. While cleaning my room, I have this huge white wicker furniture (that matches my bedroom furnitre, had it since I was a little girl :) and it is filled with books, different holiday decor, and make-n-take kits I've made in classes @ UCA. Needless to say, the trunk is pretty heavy and full. Again, I'm so ready to use all my stuff!!

It's time I mention briefly that 'special someone' in my life, because I think he is coming over to watch a movie! This is Clint. He's my best friend. I've known him since I was 15 years old. His mother, Roberta, has pretty much raised me the past several years of my life. Ever since my dad died, she's been there for me day after day. Clint's an awesome guy, and I'm so glad that he's back in my life after a few years of not being! He's got a sweet little 4 year old girl, who I haven't met yet, but he talks about her all the time. He is absolutely in love with her.....

I hear a really loud truck pulling up...I'm sure more about Clint will come about later.

Daily Grace~

I couldn't sleep in this morning, and it's spring break, so I was pretty upset about that. Making it to Cabot from Conway five days a week isn't the most fun thing to do early in the a.m. So, I decided to get up this morning, and clean my closet, move my bedroom furniture around, and let me tell ya..it's been a huge process. I'm taking a small break at the moment. I've only got about two hours left of work to do, but I'm pretty worn out. I opened up my window, and I have just been so thankful today for all the things in my life. God is so amazing, and we do not deserve any of his daily grace.

I want to talk a bit about my Granny. She is my Granny, and a lot of others Granny, too. She is the most amazing woman that I know, a Proverbs 31 woman, a best friend, mother, was an outstanding wife, but in my book, my angel. She is always there for me, and she wants to be. She works every day of her life, takes care of my mom, my sister, and me. I love her so much. As she gets older, the thought of her not being in my life starts to be scary for me. I can not imagine her not 'at the house', or driving Papaw's old red truck. It's so scary, and I just hope that she's in my life for a really realllly long time. She is the only one I feel I can go to in times of trouble with a straight head. I love her so much.

This is a picture of us from Thanksgiving this past year. It's not the best picture of her, but by gosh she's just the best person in the whole wide world.

Well, back to cleaning this room...ugh.

Well, I decided to get off of Facebook, so I figured I'd give this a try. I'm excited to learn everything I can do on here, and especially how to make it 'cute'! Hopefully, my dear friend, Rachel, is going to help me do that!

I will play around on this through out this week, and by Friday maybe have made some blog-process.

A quick little intro about me.....I love my dog, Annie, but not lots of other dogs. It's weird, I know. I'm student teaching in Cabot in 3rd grade, and absolutely love it. I am less than two months away from graduating from college. I hope to get a job here in Conway, but we will see the path God has for me. I love my precius God, and with out him I would not have gotten through the past several years of my life. He is such an amazing God, and we all fall short of his glory. I'm so in love with my Jesus. I am very 'motherly' as several of my friends would say. I like taking care of everyone, and need to work on being such a people pleaser. I hate it when people I care about are hurt and sad. I'm a great friend, and love to listen. I'm pretty easy going. I just like to smile and enjoy every second of life, for every breath is precious.
