| Soooo I'm sitting home (for once) on a Friday night in Harrisburg and I have NOTHING to do.. Not that I'm complaining, believe me.. I feel like it's the first time I've gotten to breathe in awhile. Anyway- for some reason I feel strange that I haven't updated this thing in four months- not that anyone really reads it, but for the 2-3 people that might, by chance, click on my name once in awhile, THIS is for you. - Started my second year of teaching and it's going MUCH better than last year. I think I had a pretty good first year of teaching, however my teaching style and my classroom management has definitely improved. I definitely miss my kids from last year though- I think there's always something special about your first class, even if they did drive you absolutely crazy. - I've been super busy on the week days/weekends visiting friends, going to weddings, going to NJ andddd spending lots of time in Virginia with Jeremy. It's been great because it's kept me busy and keeps the weeks going by quickly, but it's been rather exhausting thus far. - I've been taking tests to get certified to teach in Virginia and man those stupid tests are annoying (and expensive). Buttttt the end result is getting to live close to Jere, soooo I suppose we'll deal with the annoyance :). - Faith Hill's greatest hits cd comes out on Tuesday, you should buy it. You should also buy Rascal Flatts new album, it's pretty awesome. You should also download Heidi Montag's song "Body Language", it's amazing (if you don't know who she is SHAME on you, you're missing some great Reality TV). - Heroes has become my favorite show ever (it even beats 24 in my book). You should watch it. Okay this has been incredibly random and incredibly pointless but I hope whoever you are, that you've enjoyed it. Catch ya in another few months beeeeetches. | | |
| Okay.. I had a bad day at school today.. I already vented to Jeremy, my
journal and God soooo now where else to turn to but Xanga right?
Haha actually not so much, but I figured since I made OTHER people (okay person) update that I should too?
I'll play the fun "tidbit" game:
- Elisia is now married! That means there are only two people living in this house now.. It is very fun :)
- There are exactly FOUR weeks left of school (and that amounts to 19
teaching days left- but technically I only have 18 because I'm taking a
personal day in June). Good thing there's only that much left because
otherwise, I might hit a kid. Ha, j/k. (or at least I hope I'm kidding)
- Since there are only four weeks of school left, that also means FOUR
weeks till summer. Which means: visits to NJ, visits to VA, TIM &
FAITH!! (take 2), beach trips, planning for next year, josh gracin's
second album (?) haha.. All fabulous things..
- God is amazing. Like honestly, I used to think that God didn't know
best. I know that's a stupid way of looking at things, but I always
wanted things MY way, or in MY timing, and I wondered why they never
worked out. Now that I'm seeing how everything is working out in my
life, and even BETTER than it could have at the beginning of the year,
I'm just marvelling at the Lord's grace and love in my life. I'm also
learning that He ALWAYS answers prayers; they may not be the way we
want Him to at the time and we may have to wait a couple months for
them, but He works everything out. Amazing.
- I learned this weekend that drinking lots of drinks, with not a lot
of food in your stomach, when you want to go dance is NOT a good thing.
I also learned that I am blessed with the amazing people (especially
said "person" mentioned above) in my life.
I love life.

| Whats the point of having a xanga site if you NEVER update it right?
Here's some interesting tidbits into my life (though I'm sure if you're
reading this, you're probably 1 of maybe 4 people.. who probably
already know these tidbits.. right Kristin?.. right Jeremy?.. yeah
that's what I thought, but I'll continue anyway just for the sake of
pretending to update).
- Little Big Town absolutely, completely and totally ROCKED mine and
Jeremy's worlds on Friday night.. I would go see them again in a
second. (And if Tim & Faith weren't my favorite two people on this
earth, I might say they were my favorite concert).
- I have amazing friends (this is in reference to two weeks ago when
they were all here for my birthday.. which was completely awesome and
fun).
- I am ready for summer. I need some free time. I need a break from the
emotional stress that my kids provide me with every day. And I'm ready
for to spend some more quality time (i.e. more than just a weekend here
and there) with Jeremy, my family and my friends from home. I'm
also ready to work on the house with Danielle. (Omg i got a bed
finally! And it's amazing!)
- Along with Little Big Town, God is also completely rocking my world
right now (whoaaaa look at that segway). He's so faithful in every
aspect of my life and I can't wait to see what else He has in store for
me, and the people I care about.
Alright that's a preview into my life. Hope you enjoyed it. Catch ya in
another six months when I need to pass another few minutes before
American Idol comes on (although by then, American Idol will be over..)
LATA.

| I'd be lying through my teeth if I told you
That I'm okay
July came, I thought I had it all together
Until you said
"I need some space"
Truth be told
It's so hard to wait
One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
That holding loose
Ain't letting go.
We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I'm spinning around
I know you said, "baby, don't worry"
But I just miss you right now
I miss you right now
One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19.
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
that holding loose
Ain't letting go.
Baby, take all the time you need
I just want you to know
I'll be here, waiting
With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19.
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
That holding loose
Ain't letting go.
- Matt Wertz- He opened for Jars of Clay and I almost enjoyed him more than them. Every song he sang related to my life it was really weird. Anyway he's really good so do yourself a favor and preview him on itunes. Oh and buy the sugarland album too, it's pretty much my obsession as of late

| The real world is hard.. Who ever said that growing up is fun? I don't really know if ANYONE said that ever, because really it isn't.. Danielle and I went out for breakfast with Cullen on Sunday and we were talking about how difficult it is to transition after college.. It's tough realizing that you won't see the people you saw everyday anymore, and the people who used to be your best friends change and promises you made to people (and vice versa) are broken and life just lets you down.. Don't get me wrong, i LOVE teaching.. even on my worst days, I still want to go back.. But I miss the way things were a few months ago.. I miss getting together on thursday nights and playing cards and watching csi, i miss sitting down by the creek listening to music, I miss going to the union (shocker!), I even miss classes a little bit, and even though i live in harrisburg, I miss going out with the people that were here before.. And it sucks cuz really, things are never going to be the same again.. Despite all of that however, i'm learning that God has a plan, and He knows what's best.. So even though life can suck at times right now, i'm looking and seeking after Him.. I guess you can't go wrong that way right? Hope you enjoyed my little sermon. Be impressed, thats two entries in less than a week. Don't expect another one anytime soon. | | |
