Xanga, Xanga, Xanga.  It has been too long and too much has happened since I last posted.  Most of you know what has been going on in my life so I won't go back over the gorey details.  The good news is mom is doing well, grandma is home again (and terribly happy to be there), and I am busy as usual.  Thanks to everyone for all of your support through some of the most difficult times I have ever faced.  I feel like my entire family is growing stronger and stronger everyday. 

On a lighter note my 23rd birthday was a huge success.  We had a mexican themed murder mystery party with 12 people at Jeff and Macey's house.  It was so much fun and I think everyone enjoyed themselves.  I cannot believe how quickly a year has flown by.  What is even crazier is that GU graduation is so increadibly soon.  It really doesnt seem like it has been a year since I walked across that stage... and yet it does.  Things are great in life and I am so happy with where I am.  Wish me luck in the job hunt.  I know it will all come together.

I miss xanga!  I wish I would have more time in my life and also more going on in my life that I could write more often.  I just got home from Branson this weekend with my mom, sister and her friend.  It was interesting to say the least, but I had a great time.  Other then that the big thing in my life is that once I am done with my portfolio (hopefully today) I will officially be a college graduate.  That's right folks...I actually did it.  That leaves me pretty bored staying at home all day.  I am going to have to find something to keep me occupied all day.  I am thinking about making my mom a scarf so maybe that will help with the boredom...at least a little.  I am excited for this Thursday because I will finally have people to hang out with.  My sister is coming home and bringing Cassie and Amanda Land!!!!  Yay for fun times with fun friends.  I can hardly wait!  Well, I think i'm going to go be lazy before I get to work.  Have a wonderful finals week you college lovers!

Oh My Gosh!  What's up with me?  I have missed xanga a lot recently.  I cannot believe that student teaching is almost over, I've had a real life interview already and am about to be thrown face first into the real world.  My kids are wonderful and I will miss them so much.  I honstly cannot believe that it is almost over.  Also this weekend my ex-boyfriend is getting married.  i pretty much cannot believe it.  everyone is growing up and becoming adults.  how strange is life.  i'm ready for the holidays.  happy turkey day everyone!

Just got a new phone for free.  Got a beautiful pedicure tonight, it felt awesome!  I dont really like parent teacher confrences.  It actually makes me more tired then being with the kids.  Its only weird because I didnt go in today until noon.  Maybe that 11 hour day is still weighing on my.  Luckily tomorrow I will be done before noon.  Pleanty of time to take a nap.  My parents are leaving to go on vacation for a whole week.  That means i have to be the acting mom for my sister.  it should be interesting.  i guess it just means that i dont get to do anything that i want to.  hopefully it will rush by.  i am so excited for GU homecoming.  it will be soooo nice to have a weekend to just play and enjoy being with my friends.  i miss them.  also if any ladies want to hang out in kc for fall break that's coming up let me know so i can chill with you.  I miss the kids!

Well, I'm about to start my 2nd week as a teacher. Beginning tomorrow I am teaching spelling and doing the morning work for when the students come in. I am so excited to keep doing more and more with my cute little kids. I had my first real person weekend and it was really fun, but I was pretty much a lame-o. On Friday night Aaron Twombly came in town and so me and him and Jeff and Tracy all went out mini-golfing and to get ice cream at Sonic. I got free ice cream which rocked (b/c sonic took so long). Then we went back to Jeff's house to play games and Jesse and Amanda came over. As soon as they got there I went to lay on the couch and fell asleep for the next hour and a half, which ironically was when Jesse and Amanda left. I felt pretty bad, but I was so tired. Then Aaron, Tracy and I all had a slumber party at Jeff's. We probably stayed up another 30 minutes just talking. I went home Saturday morning and watched TV at home for awhile. Then I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch with my family and thought of Rachel (even though it was a different store). At 4 I went back to Jeff's and went with him to his families b-day party for the month of Sept. It was really fun, but I ended up going to bed at 11:00 again that night. Then today I had to get up super early b/c I am beginning my CCLP payback time. I am helping with the children's choir and possibly taking it over in a year or so. It was really fun. We also had a potluck after church which is my favorite. Today I have just been watching football all day. Sounds silly, but its actually pretty fun and I'm learning a lot.
I'm very excited about going back to school tomorrow, I have missed my kids. They are really so great and I know that it is going to be an awesome semester, and I will probably be really sad to leave. I have also begun to meet some of the teachers. There are at least 2 brand new teachers and at least 2 more that are under 25 or 26 so I am excited about hopefully making some friends down here so I dont feel so lonely without Hanthorne. I miss all of my Hanthorne ladies so much! I hope that everyone is doing so great and I cant wait to see you all again at Homecomming. And, if you need a weekend off come visit me, I promise I will show you a good time.
One other thing I would like to say before I go. I dont really like this whole facebook thing. I have a feeling that it means that xanga is on the out. I know that I can get facebook too, but I really love xanga. I hope that you will all keep posting and loving xanga with me!
