Countdown

Alright, I've done a lot of countdown things, it seems this year. :S Probably too many, but here's just another one.

So, as many of you (or all maybe 4 of you that read this) know, I've been taking a summer class. Yes, I've griped about it all the time, but it seems like it's been torture, and yet here it is, I'm in the home stretch. There IS light at the end of this tunnel. It's been a heck of a long 5 weeks, doing assignments all the time, it seems.

This past weekend included me writing a reflection on a panel of teachers, administrators, etc. Yeah, as Brian Regan once said (He's a great man, by the way. XD) "I would rather have shards of glass in my eye." Alright, to be honest, I would really rather NOT have shards of glass in my eye, but w/e. It was merely to demonstrate the torturous assignment.

Anyways, I've got until next Sunday, 11:59 pm to finish my final, and then I will be forever done with that class. (As long as I didn't fail. XD)





Oh, and on a side note, Get Smart, is the BEST movie I've seen in a while. XD It's absolutely hilarious. Especially the special features. XD Well, I'll have to tell the story of Saturday night tomorrow. For now, I bid you all adieu. Or au revoir, or cheers, or whatever you want to say. ;) As for me, I'll end with..... Buenos Nachos. (Alright, it's buenas noches, but w/e. XD)

Answers come in mysterious ways

So, I went to the temple for the first time since the end of November... Wow. I'm really bad. :S

Anyways, I walked around for a bit, then this guy with two walking cane things came up and started talking to me, asking me what I was doing. "Thinking." He asked about what, and I said life in general. Then asked specifically, and I said whether I should continue what I'm doing. The end result was that I got my answer. I'm pretty much going to stick with it, no matter how tough it is. I can stick it through, since I've only got 1 1/2 years left. I can make it.

Somehow he got out of me my guy dilemma. And I've decided on that, although I need to talk with the person involved in that little dilemma.

So pretty much, my answer came from the last post, in a way I didn't even imagine. God works in mysterious ways.

Teaching?

Alright, you know I'm bored, and/or should be doing other things when I blog consistently. lol

Anyways, I've just been thinking a lot lately, about a lot of things. Right now, I'm wondering if I really want to be teaching. I think there would be more teachers and more qualified teachers, if we didn't have to take these stupid classes that aren't even going to be applied when we're teachers. I hate the classes we have to take. The only time I've enjoyed school in the past 2 years, is when I'm in a class that is mostly not education related, or when I'm actually in the classroom, but I'm more of an aid than a teacher candidate.

To be honest, I only chose this career because acting was out, due to lack of job security (favoritism), and it's really only supposed to be my backup plan. I want to be a stay-at-home mom. I don't want to work.

I have less than 2 years left, but still, I'm wondering if it isn't for me. If I don't do that, I could always study up to be a CVT (Certified Vet Technician) and work at my dad's clinic, or else change my major to business, so I know a bit about running businesses.

I'm just so lost and confused right now. It's hard to want to do anything, and I'm so confused about things when I do get out of the house. *sigh* I just don't know what to do anymore.

Facebook Flair

Facebook Flair is some of my FAVORITE stuff! I love the super-flair, the regular flair, and the bumper stickers. (There is definitely some eye averting for some of the pics, though.)

Here's some awesome stuff that I've found.

Who doesn't want a flippin huge chocolate bar?

The irony of it all. *sigh*

That is soooo me. LOL

This is sooooo my life right now.

Anyways, just a few laughs and giggles. :)

Life comes at you fast

Life sure likes to throw curve balls at you when you're least prepared. Trust me, I should know this. lol And I do know it. Going from staying home every day and whenever I wasn't at work/school, "not waiting" for a missionary, to dating someone, school and work (STILL), it's just amazing how much can happen in just a few weeks.

There is one thing that I miss... besides my best friend being in Hungary.... and that's time spent with the girl friends I have. I dearly miss all of them. I wish we could spend more time together. Not a day went by in high school where we didn't see each other at some point, and now we're so busy we only see each other like once or twice a year.... well, everyone else seems to get together more than me... But I miss spending time with everyone. The friends I've made at college are gone or going, too. (Miss Kara Morris currently being in NC.)


I'm changing. Idk into what yet. I'm hoping it's something good, and I'm sure it is, because I've spent the last little while cleaning up things in my life that I haven't liked. Things that I wasn't proud of. And here I am, less than 3 months away from seeing my best friend, on the verge of getting a book published, and halfway done with my summer school course. Plus I've got to spend a little bit of time with my newest little cousin, Avery Himle. One of the cutest babies ever! (When he's not crying, that is.) And I've also gotten a whole bunch of random writing things I've been working on.

Time flies. And to think it's only a blip on the eternal scale of time. It seems like this is all I've ever known, and it makes me nervous to think about what's going to happen next in that eternal timeline. As long as I get to keep on knowing all the acquaintances and friends I've made in this life, I think I'll be perfectly happy alongside my eternal companion. And that's exactly where I want to be at the end of this crazy mixed up world.

And just in closing, I just want to mention how much I LOVE monsoon season with the storms and the wind and the rain. ^_^

<3

3 months and counting.....

Alright, as of today, Elder Vaterlaus has 3 months left, which is approximately 12.85 weeks, which is about 90 days, which is 1/4 of a year..... Of course I haven't been counting for the past.... since January *shifty eyes*

Anyways, I'm very glad he chose to go on a mission. He's a great guy, and I can't wait to see what he's changed into from these past 2 years of serving in Hungary.

Just thought I'd do a little update, for those of you that care to know. ^_^ Time flies.

(Oh, and Ali is taking bets on how long it takes him to ask me a certain question, according to what I heard at our girls' night on Wednesday. XD)

It's happening!

It's happening! Something I thought never would!

Alright, you're probably thinking "OMG She's getting married." Umm..... no.... That'd be incorrect. Partly because it's something that I definitely think will happen....

"Oh, well then it must be cuz it's raining right now." Sorry, but still incorrect. Again, that's something that will definitely happen, although storms may be few and far between.

"Soo..... What is it?" you may ask. Well....


I'm publishing my story! After some polling and consideration, I'm going through with publishing my story Garnet. The one that I mentioned forever. I still have to send in the paperwork, but it's officially going to go forward now, and I'm soooooo happy!



Anyways, just a little pre-Independence Day post.....


Oh, and a big shoutout to my mom! Today's her Birthday! ^_^ I have the best mom in the world. Happy Birthday, Mom!!!!!!!!!!!! <3


Thanks for reading!
