Christopher is done taking the bar! Woo Hoo!!! I am so excited! No more late study nights, no more stupid Barbri books, no more worrying! Best of all, Chris and I can eat dinner together every night! There have been few nights when we have been able to eat a wonderful meal together in the evening, and now, we can every night, if we want/are able to!
And...in other news...I GOT A PRESCHOOL JOB!!!! I will be an assistant preschool teacher at a preschool near our home! I will also be the school's music teacher! I will be assigned to a specific classroom and then I will also teach every age group a music lesson, once a week. The pay is not the greatest, but, after I get my Florida certification (a CDA), then my pay will increase (hopefully significantly!). I will also have an opportunity to become a lead teacher (not the assistant) after I have gained some experience with the school and teaching children. I am so excited! It is hopefully going to be a great job...this is totally what I wanted to do...and it is awesome because I was not even in Florida for two months and I already have a full time job. That, in a big part, is thanks to my wonderful parents, who gave me the opportunity to go to college and get my degree. I know I would not be able to find a job so quickly with a good education, and I am so grateful to the Lord, my parents, and my husband for letting me be able to get a decent education and for always guiding me in the right direction. I had a lot of struggles through my college career, and I know if it was not for the Church and the Lord, I would not have graduated the way I did. He placed me in specific places, at specific times, and that led me to find out about the different programs the university offered. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities that I have had and all of the awesome experiences that have led me to where I am today.
The Lord has truly blessed me with wonderful opportunities and wonderful friends that have guided me along my path. I know if it was not for my experience in ResLife at OU, I would not have found out about the BSS program I graduated with. I know if it was not for the Lord, I would not have found the wonderful friends I met in middle school, high school and college. Brittany, Kristina, Anna, Rauchelle, Ashley...you all were/are the best friends a woman could ask for. I am so glad that I was put on a path to find you all. Ashley...high school was amazing...you were always someone I could turn to...and I am so glad that we did Atheletic Training together! Science Fair was always stressful, but fun...we always liked to be the best! Sleepovers, talking ourselves to sleep...wow...it's been a long time since those days! Rauchelle...you always are the greatest person to talk to! You are so down to earth and you totally understand me and I think I understand you too. Usually we are on the same page...especially when it came down to what we thought about guys...you know what I mean! haha...I am so happy that you found someone to share eternity with...you SO deserve that! Anna...you are awesome! Remember those silly tape recordings we used to do? We use to pretend we were radio talk show hosts and we would record for hours! We had dance in common. I was always so jealous of your beautiful hair! If it was not for your husband encouraging me to get on lds singles.com...I would have never met my husband...I can't wait to see the beautiful cakes you do in the future...and you are always good to talk to about things too. You bring a different prespective to me sometimes...and you are so wise. I am so glad you were in my first primary class in Greencastle. Brittany...it was completely chance that we met...I don't know if you remember, but the first time we met was on our way to Goodfellas pizza with some mutual friends/people I didn't know because it was my 2nd or 3rd day at college...then, we ended up having 3 classes together first quarter...we ate breakfast together every day...we talked about boys, A LOT, I always know something interesting is going to come up when I hear the words, "so I want your advice on something" come out of your mouth...haha...and it always is. Kristina...I have no words...nothing I could possibly say would be good enough to encompass the feelings I have about our friendship. You have always been there. Our runs/walks/eliptical exercises...dinner at Nelson sophmore year...being RA's together...talking about boys, of course...you have always been able to give me good advice and comfort whenever I have needed it. You are someone I feel comfortable sharing my true feelings with. And I know you would never judge me by the way things come out of my mouth sometimes...you are an awesome woman. You are going to do amazing things. I am so glad that you are my friend. Actually, I am so glad every one of you are my friends. You are ALL amazing women and I am so blessed to have each of you be a part of my life. Do not hesitate to call me anytime...do not hesitate to come and visit, if you can... I love you all.
Wow, I have no idea where all of that came from. I was not planning on writing that...it just came out...I guess I am feeling the love today...I still can't believe I am an adult... :)
