Perfect timing...

I am such a bad blogger, it has been way to long since I last wrote! My apologize! Things have been crazy in the world of college. Between classes, assignments, field work, and music ensembles it seems I have no time to eat or sleep anymore. My relaxation consist of watching movies while writing papers. Probably if I didn't watch movies while doing my work it would get done a little bit faster, but it keeps me from going crazy by having  the movie playing while I pound my head into books. This past week has been crazy from 8am till late at night when my homework is finally complete. A good nights sleep consist of 6 hours, and that's a lucky night. Today is always my crazy day, the day of madness, Wednesdays are always the peak of madness in my week. It seems I have so much to do that 24 hours in one day is simply not enough, that is partly do to the fact that my Wednesdays are always filled with non stop activity from 7:30 when I wake up till at least dinner around 5:30. It is never ending madness, and trust me 4 year olds don't make the day any less maddening, but I really do love them. Today I especially loved them. After a mostly sleepless night I was in a very very cranky mood this morning. It was like everything that I had to do today was going to be a burden and all I wanted to do was go back to bed, but once again the 4 year olds know how to cheer your day up. It started by getting a huge hug when one of the students in my class walked in. It made me smile and helped to remind me a bit why I was really there and why all of these crazy days are worth it. For the kids that I get to interact with that keep me learning each day. Then I was standardized testing some of the kids in the class when one of the students came up to me with a rolled up piece of paper. She proceeded to tell me "I made a pretty picture!" I asked her to see the picture, she then said in the most excited little 4 year old voice "Its for you!" The picture that this 4 year old gave me turned my whole day around. It made me enjoy the simple things in my day, the 18 adoring smiles that smiled at me as I read them a book, the adorable things they say, and the loving people that are always around me.  It helped to remind me to enjoy the simple things in life to love my life for all the great things I have, not to look at my life as if the glass is "half empty". Well all for now, off to do some more work and then go to bed. I promise to write sooner next time!!

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
