This week has totally kicked my butt.
Work and school-
non-stop.
Next week I work everyday.
Literally.
Then Friday we'll head down to my mom's.
Monday Bryan planned a birthday party for me.
We'll get together with a bunch of friends
at a friends house
and have a cookout with hotdogs and smores.
yay!!
I'm super excited.
Bryan's great.
Speaking of..
I'm gonna spend some time with him now...


(It's almost my birthday!)

Bryan's home!!!

The world is right again.

Another day.

Bryan left for California/Oregon
at 2 this afternoon.
I only cried 3 times.
Almost cried 11ty billion...
Pray for his safety and trip.

I had my 1st day of school today.
It wasn't too bad.
Stupid sandals gave me a blister.
I'm kicking them out the door.
Pun intended.

I have the Friends Fiesta tonight.
I made homemade cookies for the 3 girls.
Emily is having Keith make homemade
salsa for me to eat... mmm.

Grampa's surgery went well.
He had a polup that they had to remove.
But, praise God, no cancer.
His surgery for his hip is now moved
to the 17th of September.

My mom will be on her way to me
tomorrow morning at 8.
I love my mama.
She knows me far too well.

Tomorrow's school day will be busy.
I have three classes that are far apart
with only 10 minutes to get there.
-2 words:
speed. walk.




I miss Bryan.

Lately...

So I got a job a Michael's.
I will be on the floor doing stock and such.
I go in today to sign the papers.
I'm only slightly excited because it's a job.
However, it's a job.
I think it's probably for the best though
for specific reasons and all.

Bryan leaves for California on Tuesday.
I start school that day as well.
Then I have a Friends Fiesta
with some gal pals.
Gal pals...
what a funny phrase.

My mom may come up the next day
and stay through Friday.
I miss her
and my grandparents
and my sisters.
Then I'll get to hang out with Bruce...
but that's not until next week.
A bunch of highs but a really big low.

I bought my books for school.
I'm really very excited about throwing clay.
I'm still sad that I won't get to take photography.
I don't feel like I have enough art classes
but there's not a whole heck of a lot I can do about that.

A dear sweet elderly lady,
Norma,
has cancer in her knee.
Pray for her.

Bryan and I are still looking for a house to rent.
There's places all over for sale
but we don't think we're gonna live here for
more than two years.
We're too far from my side of the family.

We still can't find our camera.
I think we've given up.

The Bible is a really good read.

Michaels Craft Store -Event Coordinator

I had a job interview this morning at Michael's
(It's a craft store).
She started talking to me about hiring me for
stock
but then realized that I'm into art,
so she talked to me about being a coordinator
for the crafting department.
That sounds awesome.
Pray for God's will with this job!

P.S. Still haven't found our camera... :(
