Thanksgiving/BDay

HELLO!!!!

Things have been nuts lately!

This weekend was so busy! I worked on Saturday and then went home to see my family for Thanksgiving/my birthday :) I got to see MOST of the people I wanted to see this weekend so it was good! I got to have a date with SarahM when I got home on Saturday and then I saw Jenneh and we had a McDate :P haha! Spent the night at my besties and then the next day with her for my birthday :) We went to C-Bridge for dinner and then saw a movie! That night I felt really sick, and then ended up getting sick in the night :( Alyssa took me out for breaky and then I went to Patti's :) and she took me out for lunch and then we spent the afternoon together :) Went to my dad's for supper and then went out  with my Nicki :) we went to see my mom too! Probably the best birthday I couldn't have spent it with better people - even though I didn't get to see EVERYONE I was hoping to see this weekend and some I was hoping not to see :/ lol

So the situation - it is getting better I think. I'm not saying what it is, but I will say that it took a step in the right direction this weekend. I'm feeling a little better about certain things. Not 100% or even 60%, but better. Talked to a couple people involved on Sunday and there was hugging and tears and I still wasn't sure how I felt afterward, but I think I decided that it was a good step.

My faith sure has been tested and tried these last few months, especially the last month! Even though things get tough some days I am holding onto God and trusting Him with everything (trying to trust Him with everything anyways). I haven't been doing devos :( - I started a new one a while ago New Day New You, but I wasn't really into it and I didn't keep up with it :( so I need to find a good one that is suitable and interesting! Music is really helping me through stuff though!! I listened to my Casting Crowns CD on Monday on my drive home and it was really refreshing and affirming :) I love the words to their songs!!!

I started my practicum yesterday! Kindergarten for 6 weeks!! The kids are soooooo cute! It is the first year they are doing the FDK and play-based learning, so it's different for everyone. It's really fun and interesting though! I hope to learn a lot during this practicum! I have already learned some things in the last 2 days, so I'm certain I will be learning many more things over the next 5 weeks!

Must get to bed though, long drive in the morning means waking up earlier and going to bed earlier! More tomorrow, I promise!!!
