"Recap"

Well this summer I've decided to jump back into the blogging world. I'll be blogging on a new blog, so bear with me as I re-familiarize myself with Blogger, and construct my new blog! My last post on my old blog was in April of 2009! I can't believe it's been over a year! So many things are different now than they were a year ago, so I'll do my best to recap some important things from this past year. :)

I was elected in as Treasurer of Sigma Phi Lambda "Sisters for the Lord" for the 2009-2010 school year. I learned a lot about myself and how to budget money really well. With wisdom and guidance from God, Liz finding coupons for events and things, our National finance director's help, and my crazy budgeting skills, we were able to leave the new officers with a substantial amount of funds for next year! It's amazing how God blesses those who serve him and our faithful even with little things!  

This was us in October of 2008 :)

This is a more recent photo of us on a date night to the movies! :)

In October of 2008, I met a wonderful Godly man, Corbin Wimer. We became really great friends and enjoyed each others company. He is probably the funniest person I've ever met in my life, which is great because I love to laugh! We prayed about our futures together and God opened up many doors for us. On April 4, 2009 we made it official! It has been a little over a year now, and I still am finding things out about him that make me fall more and more in love with him. Even though we've gone through hard times, we've leaned on God and our family and friends for support and made it through! 

I changed my major from Math Education to Language Arts Education. Even though I LOVE math, I have a love for literature as well and decided that it would be academically a better route for me. I am now entering my senior year with the goal to teach middle school English or Math. Most people give me that crazy look when I tell them I want to teach this age group, but this time is so special and critical for kids. They are in, what I like to tell people, an "awkward age." They are no longer elementary kids, and not quite high schoolers. They are in the "in-between." I can't wait to hear all their silly stories and to make some wonderful memories with them. :)

My little sister, Sheridan, who is 6 years old just graduated from Kindergarten! It was a country/western theme! Which goes so well with her school, Navajo Elementary, because it is literally out in the middle of the country! They "road" down the red carpet riding stick horses. All the kindergartens sang "Oklahoma" and it was probably the cutest thing ever, especially towards the end when they were getting lost in the lyrics. Miss Sheridan is such a social butterfly. She loves to be the center of attention and sing for people. I love spending time with her and my other siblings. I'm truly enjoying being home for the week, because during the school year, I rarely make it down here.

Well I hope you all are enjoying your summers!

Sunshine and Snow-cones,
