Ahoy!

Tonight I am sitting here at my Meme's house alone with my sisters because my amazing grandparents are on a ten day Alaskan Cruise!  How many grandparents do you know that do cool stuff like that?  I only know one...mine!

This week, month and past few months have just been so overwhelmingly stressful for me for some reason.  My anxiety levels are so high due to school and everything.  Although I am stressed, I cant help but realize how blessed I am because I just received a job at Crosby Christian as a Pre-K teacher.  I absolutely love my job.  I have never loved a job as much as I love this.  I leave work and think, man if this is what work is, I cant wait to go back because I love my job! I am super sleepy tonight so I am not going to write much more.  Just wanted to give a quick update into my life.  This week we are having a ton of things going on.  Haleigh's softball team is undefeated and having their closing ceremonies and then Makaela is ending her last year of middle school and is going to be entering high school....can you believe it?!  I know I sure cant.  She is having a band concert this week also.  I'm sure I will blog throughout this week as I am hearing back from my grandparents that are on their cruise!

As for now I am leaving with this quote that I saw today that touched a soft spot for me.

"Comparison is the thief of joy"
-Theodore Roosevelt

Where has the time gone?

It has been so long since I logged onto my blog and actually wrote something. Don't get me wrong, weekly and sometimes even daily I log on and check out my favorite bloggers that I follow. But why.....why have I not taken the time to write in my own blog? I'm not sure, but it is definitely time to change that! The past six months have been filled with ups and downs for sure. But looking back I wouldn't have it any other way. As you know I lost my father May 4th of last year. Seeing that it will be May 4th within the next couple weeks, I feel like my nerves and emotions are just so on edge. Lately there has definately been a handful of stress in my life. But I'm not going to dwell on those things. I, going to think of all the amazing things that are going on in my life right now: 1. I have the best most supporting family in the entire world, they support me in any desicions that I make in life and are always there for a helping hand or just moral support. 2. I am exactly one year away from graduating with my Bachelors Degree in Interdisiplinary Studies EC-6 from UHCL, thinking back on all the struggles that I have had to deal with and mountains that I have had to climb in the past four years to better my future and get the career and life that I want, I am so proud of my accomplishments (I really sound like I'm tooting my own horn, maybe I am a little lol). 3. I am really coming into my own and realizing all the amazing things that are out there in this world and I cannot wait to see what my future holds! I vow to continue writing in my blog because later on in life I would love to just be able to look back and laugh and smile at all ive wrote about.
