Great Times

I just got back from a great weekend with some great friends! We left Thursday night and made the four hour drive up to Tomahawk, Wisconsin! Us girls, Kate, Michaela, Alyssa, and I  spent three days on the lake, cooking, shopping, eating, and laughing. It was truly a great time!! I look forward to many more years to come with my close friends on trips like this!! 

We made t-shirts a week before we left. We wore them on the day we traveled. It was something fun to do together!  

I got little gifts for us all at Target. They were fun cups to drink a yummy {non-alocholic} drink! 

The first night we made HoBo's. Grilled chicken & veggies! 

The 2nd night we made Turkey Burgers. So big & So delicious!

Fun day on the lake! 

God's Plan Still Amazes Me

It is amazing how excited I am to jump into the Early Childhood Education classes this fall...that is considering I swore up & down I would NEVER be a teacher. I would NEVER be following in my mom's footsteps. I would NEVER be exactly what everyone thought I would be. 


But that's the funny thing about life. God know's exactly where you are suppose to be. After all he wrote your story. He has set up my entire life to end up right here...and this is just the beginning. This afternoon I spent a few hours looking up the ECE classes. Not only the required ones, but the electives that you get to pick from, and I kind of want to take them all! I feel like such a nerd, but that truth is, I think I am going to be good at this. This is where I am suppose to be. This is where I feel most comfortable. 


The next year or so is not gonna be easy. After all, I am no long a teenager. I am suppose to be a true adult. Many changes are going to come. But I pray that they are good changes. Changes that I make after much prayer, thought, and discussion. Changes that reflect the kind of person I am destined to be.

Summer Vacation Part 2.

Well, I am bored out of my mind!! 

Lot's has happened since my last blog, yet nothing really all that challenging or out of the blue. I spent the Forth of July up in Tomahawk, Wisconsin with my family & close friend, Kate. It was everything and more. Relaxing, entertaining, and exactly what I wanted.

The weeks to follow have been normal. I work a few times a week and attend class. However, as of today I have dropped math. It was a bit challenging and I let it go for one second and my grade slipped. Nothing bad, but considering I don't need the credit as of right now I rather have a perfect grade on my transcript, than just hurry up with it. Math has always been a challenge for me and it's frustrating that it is taking me so long to conquer. But I will accomplish it. I have to. 

The month of July is full of exciting things that I planned months ago when I couldn't even taken a moment to breath. Now every weekend is full of fun, friend moments. I am enjoying every moment of it, but I feel as if I have too much air. ha! I am grateful for the break, but I am the type of person who needs to be constantly moving, accomplishing something. The amount of down time is starting to ware on me. I need to organize something, plan something, loose some sleep, accomplish a task. Needless to say  I am ready to get back into the swing of things. Full time school with new, exciting classes. Full time work, with only a few minutes in between. I need a bit of stress in my life. 

But as I always need to remember, I need to live in the moment because once it's gone ... it's gone. And I will want it back. 

Exciting things are ahead. Just need a little hard work, a few sacrifices, and the grace of God.
