That moment when life hits me like a ton of bricks!

Decided to reorganize and get my scrapbook up a little more to date! This task drove home what I have been saying all along about my life. It is nowhere close to what I thought it would be, but everything I NEEDED it to be.....I just wish I had realized that a lo sooner!

For example.....in putting pictures into my photo album.....after having to unload 4 and a half photo albums I may add.....I realized that I did not have one single picture of Chris and I together. We were together nearly every single day for hours on end. We did a ton of fun things together, and there were plenty of opportunities to take a picture together. I mean, seriously, it take what, 3 seconds to take a picture? Five if you have the red eye preflash on? Yet, we never did. When I said something about it, my friend Kathryn, whom I love dearly and this is one of the reasons why, replies very matter-of-factually and says, "you know...that because you take pictures of only the most important things!" I couldn't agree more, I mean who can't take 5 seconds out of the hours on end they spend with someone to take a picture!

On a much happier note....I did a lot of scrapbooking today and it was super fun. We are going to be having a scrapbooking party type things here on campus in the next couple of weeks I am told, so I saved some of the scrapbooking for that.....looking forward to it.

Wrote my final lessons plans as a student teacher. Finished them last Thursday, and my last full day of teaching was on Friday. This week I have reading groups and that is it for the things that I am responsible for preparing for teaching! It is all beginning to feel so unreal! I also got a letter in my mailbox that has a paper to do exit counseling and obtain signatures in order to pick up my cap and gown! It all beginning to feel so real and yet so unreal all at the same time! I am so excited and terrified about entering "the real world." I mean, due to a cast and surgery my official enter into the real world will be delayed, but at any rate, I am terrified about what life is going to be like with no school, no homework, no professors....I mean for the first time in my life, I won't be planning to go to school in August and the thought of that is so relieving, yet so scary and so weird! Pray for me though, folks.....my after college is going to be a really bumpy road here at the beginning!!

Well, folks, that is all I have for now.....so until next time:

"Let your faith be bigger than your fears!"
