Today my mom was telling me that an old friend’s son from our church in Michigan is graduating from WTMC this year. At first, I thought it was neat that he had gone there too. Then it hit me: I BABYSAT HIM! I feel so old!!
Kids I babysat should not be graduating from high school.

I am slightly terrified to start my new job on Wednesday… it’s just so many things. I have to keep telling myself that it’s only 8 weeks… and I can do it. I am well-trained. I am capable. I am meant for this job. I can overcome my fears, worries, and stress. I can do all things through Christ!

This blog (even though it’s aimed toward dads) is making me desperately want a daughter. Reading through these posts makes me so sentimental thinking about my own daddy and about Daniel being a dad one day. I’ve always said that even though I want at least one daughter I thought I would enjoy having boys more, but I can see a lot of wonderful things about having girls too. Someday I...

I’m too emotional for my own good sometimes… and, yet, I mostly consider it a strength. *contradictions?*

Yet again...
More job applications/interviews that lead to nothing. I’m back to square one in my search again. It’s getting frustrating. *sigh*

Please Ignore the Fragments and Say a Little...
I have an interview on Tuesday.
For a job I really want.
Interviews make me very nervous.
Just found out one of my good friends from Lee is also interviewing for the position.
Which I am not too happy about.
All of this stresses me out.
But I have a very good recommendation from my current principal.
And I am trusting God.
Praying for His favor!
I am trying to stifle some jealousy right now.
One of my friends from grad school just announced that she is pregnant. (With some absolutely adorable pictures on Facebook I might add, “save the date” just baby, not wedding, themed.) While I am SO incredibly excited and happy for her, I am also feeling some major jealousy pangs. It’s not like we’re even “trying”...

*tears* This is love.
Yesterday, I got to go visit my old mentor counselor who I am now taking the place of while she is on maternity leave. More specifically I got to meet, hold, and feed a bottle to little 3-week-old baby Lucy. She is precious. It had been too long since I had gotten to hold a baby, so soft, little, and sleepy. :)
Also, I am constantly trying not to be so… impatient. ;)

I guess I’m officially a school counselor now… or something like that. :P :)
I was almost numb while reading most of Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins did a good job of making ME question what was real, who to side with, and what was going to happen in the end. I cried a little at some of the deaths/sad parts throughout the book, but the constant adrenalin rush of all the action kept me from really losing it until…Buttercup came back in the last chapter. That’s when...

This cracked me up… because it’s really close to something I would probably do, lol.
