Eventful Thrusdays!


Wow this has been a long week! It has been hard trying to get used to my new schedule of going back to school then going to work in the evenings with day care and nanny every other day. But it is starting to get better thankfully! Well today was Thursday so on these days I go to class come home then go to work to my nanny job. Well today after class I went shopping and found a new outfit to wear on Sunday because I am singing at our church with one of the girls in the youth group and I am so excited! Well after that I got to come home and take a short nap (I love to take naps). Well the family I nanny for have four kids: Lauryn, Matthew, Julia, and Abigail. So today I took Julia to ice skating lessons. After she was done Julia, Abigail and I went to McDonald's to grab something to eat then went to Target to kill some time before we had to go back to pick Matthew up from hockey. Well at Target Julia decides to throw a lovely fit because she wanted a toy got back to the car she somehow got her hand smashed in my car door so starts to throw an even bigger fit. At this time I about had it. Thankfully I just started to keep a big bag of kid books in my car and she finally calmed down after looking at the books. The fun part was on the way home from picking Matthew up he read half the books out loud to all of us in all his voices the whole way home and it was really funny we were all laughing in the car. It was a good way to end the night.
I am looking forward to this weekend because tomorrow I am spending the day with one of my aunt's and we are going to make cookies and Saturday will be spent with all my family because some will be in from out of town. I love to spend time with my family! Its always so much fun! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Weekend in Macon

This weekend I spent with some friends in Macon, Ga. It was so much fun! Thank you Lindsey and Fred for opening your home to us this weekend! It was nice to get away and relax with some friends. It was nice to see their kids Joshua and Anna Bell. I enjoyed singing Hillsong Kids with Joshua singing on the top of his lungs and telling all of us we needed to sing with him. Anna was a lot of fun too. She loved bringing books to me to read to her. Here are a few pictures of me with Anna Bell and Joshua from the weekend. Hope everyone had a good weekend as well!




A New Start

Last Wednesday was my last day as the Daylilies teacher at work. It was a sad day. This semester I am going back to school full time so now I will be working part time a few days a week at the day care. Today was my first day being home and not going into work at 6:30a.m. It was a weird morning for me. It is going to be an interesting semester. I will be very busy. Not only am I taking classes full time, 3 days a week I will be at the day care and 2 days I have a nanny job. I am excited about the nanny job! I will be with a family that I have baby sat for the past 8 years. I have seen their family grow from 2 kids to now 4 and enjoy being around them. The picture is of my last day at work with my class.

Saving My Dog?

Well I never thought I would have to save my dog Sophie's life let alone any dog. Well here is what happened. Last night I got home late because we had Girl's night with our youth and it was a lot of fun. Well I am in my room and here my dog Sophie in the kitchen. She is normally never in the house because she is an outside dog. So I went to go say hi to her but David (my step-dad) was on the floor holding her trying to get into her mouth. Apparently she was choking on a bone that got stuck in her throat sideways. So I stepped in and talked to her and got her to calm down and had to hold her mouth open so David could put his hand in and get the bone out. luckily he did and we saved her life. Ha I bet you never thought you would have to do that or to see a dog chocking. It was so sad because she was trying to put her paw in her mouth to get it out. So thats my interesting story for today.

I can't wait till Thursday because I am going to Georgia to visit some friends till Monday! I can't wait I'll post again after I get back.
