A Taste of The Fall Festival
Tonight I came home. Why did I come home? Two words...FALL FESTIVAL! For those of you unaware of what that is, it is the second largest street festival next to the Mardi Gras. Though it is nothing like the Mardi Gras, it is more family oriented with rides, games, and 4 blocks of side by side food booths. You can find almost any kind of food item that is fit for your apppetite. You name it, they got it.
My sister is also coming home this weekend. And of course that means that the cutest niece and nephew ever will be home. Oh how much I love those two. They have both been sick off and on this week as well as my sister and Mike (Brother-in-law. Love those two and their kids. They are just a pretty cool family. I just want them to know...I always enjoy coming to visit and hanging out at your house. You guys are awesome and I love you very much. Watching your kids grow up is a wonderful treat!
Now on to the weeks leading up to this entry. I hadnt seen Aaron for two weeks until last weekend. It was hard but we got through it. Seeing him always brings a smile to my face. For his birthday back on September 14th I gave him 4 tickets to the Purdue/Notre Dame game at Notre Dame. He has wanted to go there since he was like five, so he was pretty excited to recieve them. The game was last weekend and we had a great time. The rest of the weekend we just hung out and layed around. Just hanging out is the best after not seeing each other for a while. This weekend is his Fall Break. He will be home tomorrow and then he is heading back up to school with me on Sunday to spend a couple of days with me. It will be a good time.
So I know you all don't know this but I have changed my major. I started out as an Elementary Education Major. I had wanted to be a teacher my whole life, when it came time to choose a major for college i just chose it cause thats what I "knew" I wanted to do. It just seemed right to do what I had always told myself I was going to do for the rest of my life. What did I change it to you ask? Social Work. Yea I am aware that I didnt chose a profession where the salary isnt much better, but that is not what it is about. For me it is about being happy. Last year I began to realize that i never really considered anything else to major in, I was beginning to realize though that I wasnt absolutely sure if I wanted to spend the rest of my life in a classroom. I was beginning to realize that I was more interested in the real life problems that children face today. I was wanting to be more involved in a child's life. I wanted to have more in common with a child than just a chalkboard. I wanted to help children and possibly their families deal with issues that are tearing them apart.
Over the last five years I have learned a lot from my parents and the many children that have walked through my famalies front door and into my parents loving arms. I have witnessed up close and personal the struggles that so many children face in today's world. I want to be someone that can walk hand in hand with those children. That is what I want to do for the rest of my life. (Wow that almost made me cry...lol) I see my parents open their arms to these kids and I just know that I will benefit more from interacting with kids in this way. I would like to use my new degree in a family counseling setting or as a school social worker.
Ok so I didnt plan to make my entry this long. I think it is about time I stop. Hope everyone is doing well! By the way check out this song Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. It's Great!
