Wow, it has been about a year since I last posted something on this journal! Since then I have completed almost one full year of teaching! It has been a year of many ups and downs, but I guess overall, I'd have to say it was good (I guess my glass is half full). Anyway, after all these months I don't really have any interesting things to say. ( Read more... )

Wow, it has been about a month and a half to two months since I have posted anything here. I guess that is what happens when you work about 9 hour days and don't have a computer. Oh well, here I am, aren't you all so glad. So, the short version of what is going on with me is that I start teaching in just over two weeks. I am extremely excited ( Read more... )

It has been a while since I have writtne in here last. Well, here is the update on my life. Work is still going really well. Even better than that though is that I am now living in my new apartment! On Thursday afternoon a group of four people (myself included) moved me into my apartment. It took us about 45 minutes to carry everything up to ( Read more... )

Well, last week I wrote about some of the funny things that I learn from working at a Dr. office. Actually I think I only told about some of the names that I filed. Well, I also got to help restrain a 4 year old boy so he could take a breathing treatment and ended up haveing to wrap my arms and legs around him to hold him down. We also had a ( Read more... )

Hey! I just wanted to give a big shout out to my roomie Jessica (one day late) to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! That's right people, Jess is now 21 and can LEGALLY party with the rest of us cool 21 year olds (and over in my case) at the bars!!! I love you Jess, happy 21st!

Things for me have really been going well throughout the past few days. On Sunday I played in my dad's organ recital, I played about 6 pieces with him and turned pages for one. It went really well, he did such a GREAT job! Yesterday I went to look at some apartments and all but have one now. I have called the people and left a message saying I ( Read more... )

I was a little bit disturbed this evening when I was pushing a three and a five year old boy on the swings at a park. The reason for this disturbance was becasue out of nowhere they both start singing "Who Let the Dogs Out." This in itself was not too bad, it is kind of catchy and has dogs barking and all that fun stuff, but it was what the five ( Read more... )

Ah, I have recently found that I enjoy working in a garden. Today I worked outsinde in my sister's garden for about 2 hours doing mostly weeding. By the time I got done, I looked like I was wearing most of the garden. It was really nice though, diggind in the dirt, pulling up the weede, and maybe the occasional plant (oops!). I guess I shouldn' ( Read more... )

Today was a day to remember! The day started off very uneventfully. I moved to Collinsville yesterday. I am staying with my sister, brother-in-law, and baby nephew. Yesterday, however, my brother, sister-in-law, and other nephew stayed here too. Today we all went to a memorial service at the cemetary for Memorial Day. It was really pretty ( Read more... )

Sometimes it is really difficult for me as a sinful human being to understand God's plan. As any of you who read my journal know, I just got back from spending the week in up-state NY for my cousin's funeral. I have one correction to make, he was not in his late 30's, he was 43, but hey, I was close. Anyway, I spent the week really gettting to ( Read more... )
