Random side note for those of you who didn't see this picture on facebook. My hair is so long! These pictures were taken a year and a half apart. Crazy. Kinda blowing my mind.
Ok, first and most exciting things on the agenda: I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO MAJOR IN! This has been a long road getting to where I am. I've been saying I want to be a party planner or event organizer, but I could never find a good major for that. Communication would work, but I would have to take 4 semesters of a foreign language and I don't get along well with foreign languages because of my dyslexia. I went to the career counselor at TCTC and we talked for about 15 min and he came up with what I should do. TCTC has a program called Administrative Office Technologies. With this degree, I would become a office administrator which basically means I would be working right below the supervisor planning, scheduling, and doing secretarial and clerical things. One of my friends calls me the super secretary, which is very fitting. What this also means is that I just have to get a 2 year degree which is FANTASTIC! The more I learn about this degree I realize it targets all my strengths. I'm just so happy! :)
Numero 2, you guys just need to realize how great my grandmother is. For real. A week and a half ago we made cookies, played Rummikub, and just talked. I'm finding out all kinds of things about her that I never would have known if I hadn't been spending all this time with her. One of my favorite bits of information (which I hear frequently because she forgets she's told me) is that she was dating other guys up until she got engaged to my grandpa. WHAT?! She justifies it by saying he lived in Florida and she was still in Georgia, but let's be real. That's crazy! Granted, it was about 60 years ago and things have changed since then but somehow I feel like that might have been a little weird even back then.
Thirdly, last weekend Jenny and I hopped in the car and drove 10 hours up to Aunt Patti and Nuckle Pete's house for the weekend to see our long-lost brother, Ryan. Normally we both HATE car trips but this was actually very enjoyable. Jenny and I are the same brand of weird. You stick us in a car together for 10 hours and the weird shines very brightly. Also, my brother has the best job ever this semester. He's a packaging science inturn at Godiva in Pennsylvania which means that they test the packaging of chocolate and then he is told to throw it away. Thankfully Ryan has a brain and doesn't throw it away. Instead, he takes it home and gives it to his family and friends. HOLLA!!! Next time you see me, if I've gained about 20 lbs, blame the chocolate. So anyway, we spent 3 full days in Maryland hanging out with Ryan, cousins, aunt, uncle, cousins friends, and our cousins adorable daughters. It was a great and restful weekend. I was kinda sad to come home to the real world again.
Numba four, I have awesome friends. Some I've known since we were born, some I met in August at RUF, and other I met along the way, but I love them all. I've been looking back through my blessings book and seeing a strong trend how God uses people to convey His love to me through them. That doesn't seem to make a lot of sense now that I wrote it down, but its true. I've been trying to figure out what my love language is and I know for sure I'm bilingual, (and I don't know how much I believe the whole love language thing but thats a whole different arena) but I think mine might be gifts or acts of service. My friends are one of thousands of God's daily gifts to me which He gave specifically to me, and me to them. Because I'm a people person, when I have deep conversations or fun evening with my friends, I find joy in those times and feel God's love. I know He is taking care of me and providing EXACTLY what I need. That is huge to me.
Well friends, I think that is about all I have time for tonight. There was actually a lot more I had planned to talk about buuuuut I talked too much about the other things and now I'm ready for bed. Hopefully I'll get the ball rolling and maybe blog a little more consistently. Maybe not. But for now, goodnight to all, and to all a good night!
P.S. I did a little face juggling today and found these 2 particularly wonderful and wanted to share them with you all. Enjoy!
