My obligation to February

What to say. . . what to say. . . I feel like I am obligated to blog since I haven't blogged since last month. I feel it is my obligation to February to get a blog on the board. So why not update everyone on how busily boring our lives have been.


As most of you may know I started working as an Adolescent Counselor back in December. I absolutely love it. It is definitely a bit stressful at times. And there are times I think I want to slap the kids I work with but I remind myself that I am here to help them. I absolutely love the look in there eyes when they start to get it and realize there is a greater life for them than drugs. But it does suck when you know they have no desire to change. So all I am left to do is pray for their lives. An amazing blessing to this job is I have found direction to my degree and what I want to. I want to definitely work with teenagers. This shocks me because I always told myself that is something I could never do. I also like working in the drug and alcohol field. Having messed up my life for bit I want to offer hope to these kids that there life can be so much more.


When I am not working I am at home getting much needed sleep or cleaning. When I am not at home or work I am trying to have a social life. Sadly there is not much of one. Its crappy because I thrive off of being with friends and family. Maybe after this month John and I can get our schedule more together and have some house parties.


John is doing well. He is working 10 to 12 hour days at his shop. I am so proud of him. He is going after his dream and showing such dedication to God and his family. I am glad we both work during the day because we get to hang out in the evening. Wednesdays we go to our ministry meetings and finish up the evening watching Lost. I must say Wednesdays are my favorite days! LOL!


I am still going to school, graduation date is still projected to be April 2010. I might try to get done sooner but that means upping my schedule and I don't know if that is really possible. I am finishing up my Cultural Anthropology class and even though I have loved it I can't wait until this Thursday is over. The class was definitely difficult and time consuming. I am going to have post a poem that I wrote for the class. I am thinking about actually framing it and hanging it up. Eh, we'll see.


So anyways that is what is going on for now. Life is busy but it's okay. God keeps showing His glory in every day.
