"come on...but leave your 80's surf talk at home"
This shall be my last post of the grand summer of 2007. Its been pretty darn fun. Traveling to Bolivia, staying up all night, random beach days, movies, starbucks, parties, conferences, disney channel, friends, family, mac n cheese. aahh. This past week ended things quite nicely. With fake sibling day, and a sweet high school musical party, a failed attempt to go to a baby shower that turned into movie day with grandma, laughing at laughter on youtube, and a evening at the beach with my family!
But tomorrow that will all end. Everything is going to change. Its so weird no getting my school stuff all together, signing up for classes, buying cool pens and all that school implies. I mean yeah I'm gonna being doing Economics...and a science at some point. but I'm not really doing or going to school. And that's pretty much a first, in the past 13 years. I'm kinda on the other end of it. Today I was planning and talking to my mom and another lady in our church. Getting meal ideas, talking lesson ideas with Nolan and Hayley and discussing the importance of planning ahead. My parents have been so quick to remind me that this fall will not be easy for me. But that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable!
This whole situation of me being home this fall has worked out wonderfully. My mom is in a position at work where she needs more training in Labor and Delivery. So she needs to stay on full time. And she's never done that during the school year. But financially and for my moms job security, she needs to work and be trained. And God was already preparing me to be home this fall and help with things around the house and with home school while my mom works. My mom will still be here, and she still will be homeschooling. But she has to be freed up to work three days a week. So I will be home on those days! I love how God has worked all this out with our family! I'm able to be here and spend time with and learn from my mom but at the same time serve her!
Today we were talking about all the ladies that I will be hopefully able to spend time with and learn from. And the fun things I might be able to do with the kids in our church! I'm so excited!
This week I'm starting meal planning. And our family has been in a dinner rut for a long time. And I'm ready to bring some new stuff into the picture...I just need some recipes and ideas. annyyone?
Along with bunches of other things, I also am going to be in charge of our families groceries...I'm going to have to learn about budgeting and getting everything we need!
And its all starting tomorrow. But God will give me grace. I'm so encouraged and ready to do this!
But its so weird. All my friends going back to school and I'm not. I'm going to be in such a different season than them. But! I know...I'll still see you guys....right? duh, of course!
