Love Each Moment You Live!

Wow! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! I have been super busy with studying for finals and whatnot. It has been CrAzY!!!

Well just a quick update on my life... I am still in the process of deciding on if I want to go on a mission or if I just want to finish school. I haven't heard anything from the "Guy Upstairs" so I am thinking that I may just end up deciding what I want to do and if I choose the wrong one, well He has his ways of letting you know that isn't in His plan. So we will see what happens with that. I will keep you updated though. =)

For those of you who are friends with me on Facebook, you may have already seen this cute little thing I posted today but I want to share it on here as well. I volunteer at an elementary school close to where I live and this morning I went over like I always do. I got signed in and went to my classroom where I help this cute little 5th grade class. I know that you aren't supposed to have "favorites" when you are teacher but you always will have those kids who you like helping the most. Anyway one of the girls that I help EVERY day, who is definitely one of the kids I love helping the most, ran up to me as soon as I walked in the classroom and just burst into tears! I had no idea what was happening. She then gave me a huge hug and said, "I was having a really bad morning and seeing you just made my day so much better." I almost started crying then because this super sweet girl had made my day! I was hit right then with the confirming feeling that I want to do nothing else in this life but be a teacher and a mom someday. I want to have the affect that I apparently have on this little girl to a bunch of students and my own kids. I want them to be relieved when I walk in the room, I want them to be able to tell me anything and I want them to trust that I will be there for them. This little girl has NO idea what those words meant to me this morning. I just CANNOT WAIT TO BE A TEACHER!!!!! I am so excited. Every time I start thinking of my future classroom I get all excited and I just want to start teaching that moment. I know I still have a long ways to go to finally get to my classroom, but it will be worth it and I am going to enjoy every minute of it. I will love each moment I am living. =)

Okay so that is just an update on my life right now. Nothing has really changed. Oh the Facebook post that I posted awhile ago about making big decisions and that I would write about it in my next blog? Well that is about this: it really isn't a decision that is going to effect my life dramatically, I am just super excited about it. I am  tired of not having my own car. I mean, walking is great yeah but when I have to walk 7 blocks (huge blocks) to get to the nearest grocery store and then carry all my groceries home? It is not my most favorite thing ever. SO I have decided that I am going to save my money up for a CAR!!! Yay! I am super excited! For the past two weeks I have been looking at used cars and seeing how much I would roughly have to save for just the car, then I have been looking into car insurance and how much that is. I realize that it will take awhile to buy a car but I am just so excited! I have a really bad problem with spending my money, whether on clothes or on groceries that I don't necessarily need. So it is super nice to have an incentive to save my money for! I know that it will for sure be a yellow car. I won't have anything else. Haha. It has to be yellow. =) I don't know why, it just does. I have tons of pictures saved on my computer of yellow cars that I could possibly buy. I know that it won't be for a long while before I can actually buy one but I am going to look! And looking gets me even more excited to buy one, so I want to save even more money. So it is a good thing that I am looking. But that is my big decision that I made the other day. Probably not what you were expecting but oh well. =)

So that's my life right now! It is pretty exciting. I hope that I will be able to make some big decisions soon enough and I am sure that I will be posting all about my journey. Thanks for reading about my life. Sorry it isn't super big or anything right now. =P

Remember to keep your head held high through all of your challenges and that you remember that you always have a friend who is ALWAYS going to be there for you no matter what. Just make sure you keep Him close to you. =)
