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.
