They May Say That I'm A Dreamer

As I write this, I am sitting in my new house just starting the first day of summer break.  I am so blessed.  I am blessed with a home that I am proud of, a rental house with a renter, a job that I love and have a passion for, amazing family and friends, a church who speaks the truth and a real relationship with Christ, a dog who loves me unconditionally and is always happy to see me, my health for the most part, and the ability to achieve my dreams.  There are many things in life that I decided I wanted to achieve and everything I have set out to do seems to all be falling into place.  I even have hope that I will get married and have kids one day (even though I am 36).  I know God has so many plans for me and I've just barely started on the journey he wants me to be on.  There is so so much more to see, do, and be.  I can't wait for the plans he has for me to unfold.  I am so excited to be moving to PreK for next year.  I know this will be such a great change for me.  I think I will love it!  I am very happy that I will still be at Davidson with my best friends.  They are like family to me and I can't imagine being anywhere else.  I will miss Lisa and Dana but know I will still see them at Taco Night and other get togethers.  I had a great birthday and celebrated with my friends coming over to see my new house.  We sat and chatted and snacked and had a good time.    Payton also had a great bday.  Sara, Tony, and the kids came up from Wichita and we were so happy to see them.  It is hard to believe Payton is 10 years old.  The years have flown by.  Jake and I have gotten closer over the last few months.  We seem to have a much better friendship and treat each other with love and respect.  It's nice to be back to that after all that we went through.  Again, God has a plan and I don't know if he wants Jake and I to get back together or not but it seems like he is paving the way for us.  No matter if that happens or not, I am happy to know that we will always have a strong bond.  On another note, I am 13 chapters in to the book I am writing (my memoir of teaching).  I am so excited and am hoping for at least 20 chapters and to be done by December of this year.  I hope people like it and it is as good as I think it is.  lol   My dad has decided to possibly retire this November.  I know this has been a hard decision for him and I can only imagine his internal struggle with it.  See my pops is a worker, a go getter, a guy who can't just sit around and do nothing most of the time.  It will be difficult for him to not have a job to go to every day.   Not to mention the fact that he worries so much about his family and always wants to make sure he is able to help them if they need it.  I know God will make a way for him and he will be ok.  Well I think I've rambled on enough for one entry.  Besides I have got stuff to do before Crys and Dyl get here this afternoon.  I can't wait to spend the weekend with them.  I will try not to wait as long to update the blog.
Till next time,
