2008
Wow, so it's been like a year. I'm not even sure who still reads this or has this and checks it frequently enough to matter.
2008 is going to be a big year. 2007 was a good year overall. But 2008 is going to bring a lot of changes for me. I already started a phone plan, with a two year contract with Stephen which is weird. It freaked me out to be honest although he seemed completely fine with it so it happnened and no it does not directly affect my daily life but it still seems weird. Like we have a two year contract together, sure it can be broken but we agreed to that. What a way to star the year.
However, by the end of 2008 we should be engaged! That seems crazy and yet okay. Like thats the plan we decided on together and some people think that it is totally weird to have a plan for our engagement that I am very much involved with (aka I know the approxiamate time, I know the basic ring, I know the savings plan, etc. etc.) So that will be BIG. What's weird is that Steve's whole family, parents, grandparents, they are all counting down, asking him every time they see him when it's happening. My family, they are kind of left out in the dark. I mean I would bring it up as a hypothetical in the past and it was just pushed aside as something that may never happen so they don't really know. I am sure that they will be excited when in deed it does happen but they may be more surprised by it. Steve's family on the other hand has like a countdown. What's weird is that he is the oldest on his dad's side and one of the oldest on his mom's side so it's not like everyone else is doing it and why aren't we? But it's very cute and I feel very well received by his whole family in general. It's funny but our families have still yet to meet so they should get on that or else things will be pretty awkward, or just forced in general when things become real.
Also this year I will be graduating. I won't officially walk or anything but I'll get my diploma because I am graduating a semester early, so this December, a good way to finish off 08. I can't believe it. This is really my last semester with classes and then next semester a spend the enterity of in an elementary school, hopefully close to home--eek, scary but still exciting. I will be walking with my class in May 09 though so again I'll have time to let that all sink in. Maybe I'll get a job in 08 for 09 or maybe I'll plan for grad school. Who knows.
Also in 2008 my sister Caleigh will be graduating from high school (June 6th) so that will be exciting for her. She is thinking of coming here, maybe commuting so that will be nice although we'll never actually be in school at the same time (because of student teaching). We have a graduation to attend every year for the next four years, one for each of us actually, either college or high school, which is cool.
Yay so life is exciting and changing.I have my car and a credit card that I don't use ever and a cell phone plan not with my family anymore and things are just happening and changing so quickly and I'm growing up. And that's exciting and very scary too.
As for this semester, it's another busy one balancing being an RA and ARA, doing field three and one full day in the school, school in general, life in general, friends, family, Stephen, and whatever else comes my way. I'll be taking my final MTEL and maybe the GRE and I'll be working Fridays at the day care again :) All should go well :)
