Right now, I feel like the Little Red Engine. I keep telling myself, "I think I can, I think I can." I don't know why but this past week has been really tough. I usually wake up at 5:30 and this week I was getting out of bed at 5:45, 6:00, and even 6:20. Then once I get to work I say to myself, "here we go. You can do it." That is kind of sad. I am just to that point of utter exhaustion.
I have given of myself and I don't think there is much more to give. It has finally taken a toll on my body. I guess it doesn't help that I have been sick all week AND I am planning a wedding AND I am trying to find a job in Ohio AND I am looking for a place to live in Ohio AND spend time with my Travis AND I am still babysitting on the weekends AND I still have to take care of everything here AND do my calling. I just know that I can't wait until summer. It will be the most blissful summer of my life! I can't wait! In case you are wondering, my summer officially starts in 36 days. That is 25 school days. I love my job, I love my kids, but I will love my summer vacation!
I can't wait till tomorrow!! I get to see Travis!!! It has been forever and this day can't pass by fast enough. I don't even have motivation to do anything because all I can think about is him. Tomorrow is going to be a great day! My bags are packed, I'm ready to go!On another note, I know I have told a lot of you, but I am going to make my own bouquet for my wedding. I have started playing around with making different flowers and I am having so much fun! Don't worry, I am taking pictures so there will be a blog post to come eventually.
I think my very first blog post was about conference. That means I have now been a blogger for 6 months now. Yay me! For those of you that don't know, Conference is a time where the leaders of our church speak to the members of the church throughout the world. You can listen to the talks on lds.org or you can learn more about our church at mormon.org.Anyways, every time Conference rolls around, I try to make it to at least one session. I know some people don't like going because they would rather watch it all cuddled up on their couch, but for me, there is something special about being in the presence of the prophet of God. If I don't get to go it's ok, but I like to at least try.
Well, this year I didn't even try to get tickets because they don't let parents send them to their kids anymore and that is how I have gotten them in the past. I wasn't sad about it until I realized that this is probably the last chance I get to go for a while since I will be moving to Ohio. This sadness didn't last long because my dear friend Shannon sent me a message asking if I wanted to go with her. I was sooo excited!
As usual, Conference was amazing. I tried to soak it all in while I could and take advantage of it while I am here. Sometimes I think the people here don't realize how lucky they are to have the opportunity to go. I am going to miss going to Conference. Shannon, thank you for sharing this opportunity with me. I loved it!
On our way to and from the Conference center, I always play the game of who knows the most people. I am pretty good at the game normally, but I only saw 2 people this time. (I still won though.) I saw my good friend Jesus and it made my day! Also, Shannon and I joked about making it into the Ensign. We almost made it. If we hung around for a couple more minutes I am pretty sure we would have gotten in. Look for us in the background though. I think the photographers missed out. I think it would have been a pretty cute picture! We look happy and spiritually fed.
I have been a slacker at updating lately. My life has been crazy. Tomorrow is the last day of school until Spring Break. I think my brain checked out on Monday though. All I can think about right now is sleep. I am really looking forward to Spring Break this year because I get to go visit Travis! I haven't seen him since we got engaged in February. While I am in Ohio, we have a to do list to get done. Most of those things have to do with getting ready for the wedding, for me to move, or me finding a job/transferring my teaching license over. We are going to be busy. One fun thing is that Dad will be there the same time as me. The lame part is that both of them will be working during the day while I am left alone. I guess that gives me time to get stuff done, because let's be honest, how much will I be able to get done while Travis is around. He has all kinds of fun stuff planned already. He wants to go up to Cedar Point (largest amusement park in North America) while I am there. Besides really looking forward to Spring Break, school is going really well. I love my classes. They are so darn cute! I can't believe how much they have learned this year. I am so proud of them. I am also proud of myself for surviving my first year! (I know we still have 35 days left, but close enough.) I am going to be so sad to leave them, especially because I won't even be able to see them around the school next year. I got a taste of what the last day will be like because one of my students is moving over Spring Break. I am soooooo sad. :(
Wedding planning is going ok. I wish I could just take a couple days and go at it full speed ahead and get EVERYTHING done. That is impossible though. I should try though. I just need to buckle down and work. I need some friends to come over and do stuff with me. For now, I am doing stuff little by little. Right now I am trying to find an outfit for engagement pictures. And speaking of wedding stuff, I have my first bridal shower this Saturday. I am excited! Jessica and Katie are throwing it for me.I think that is about it for now. Sorry the updates aren't exciting. My mom will probably be the only one that reads all the way through. It is also for me because journal writing is slacking these days too. :/
