LOOK! It's new!

So it takes me a long time to get things done...like Blogging. I figured it was time for a new post. It was time for a new one a long time ago! Wow, a lot has happened. I GRADUATED FROM NAU! That's right, I now have my Bachelor's degree! I have been offered a job teaching 5th grade Language Arts in Thatcher and I accepted it. I just can't seem to get away from that amazing place.

For the summer I am nannying in Scottsdale. This is my 4th summer with the same family and I love it! The kids are so funny some times and I'm learning that they will always surprise you with funny little things. I have really come to appreciate these kids and the extreme amount of personality each one has.

This summer has definately been different, not only in the things I do but also with my emotions as well. It has been such a busy summer! Not only did I graduate at the beginning of the summer, but I am taking a couple online classes this summer too. A group of friends from school came to Lake Havasu with me and we played on the lake and in the desert for a week, which was so much fun! And then my sister, Andrea, got married on the same day that one of my closest friends from high school got married...so it was an insane day of weddings! Plus I had my sister's reception in Lake Havasu, so that was another trip. I also had my interview in Thatcher. My mom and sister just bought a new house in Queen Creek, so I spent quite a bit of time helping them paint too. So let's just say that there is never a dull moment. I am very blessed to have amazing friends that come to visit me and who are around the valley for the summer. Sometimes I wonder why I am doing certain things in my life and they are always around to let me know how important I am and that means the world to me.

Now that Andrea is married, this makes me the last child in the family to be single. And trust me, I've heard a lot about it already from my family. Kind of makes me mad. Supposedly I'm getting old and need help to find a man to marry. But I still have time! I am still young! So what if I don't go out on many dates. I honestly don't think I am ready to be married and people need to realize that this is my life and it will happen when the time is right. It frustrates me when people talk to me like I need to get married now and why am I not dating anyone and we should find someone for you to date...makes me feel like something is wrong with me. Nothing is wrong with me!

So anyway, I am going to be better at this Blogging thing. I am, I promise.
