WORK WORK WORK

I know it has been like forever since I have posted, but I have just been really busy. So, I figured I would take my few free moments to blog and update you on what has been going on in my life. I have had some major breakthroughs in my life and have had some exciting news as well. Topics of discussion: diabetes (of course), my boyfriend, new job opportunities/current work, volunteer work, moving home, college, and I'm sure I will think of more. So let's begin.

Diabetes. My diabetes has been wonderful! I have had more frequent lows, but I am willing to pay that price because my sugar levels have been awesome! They have been mid-100s and below the majority of the time. It is a mix of the effort on my part and the support from my wonderful boyfriend. Which brings me to topic number two.

Andrew. Andrew and I have been through a lot since May 3 (my last post), but ultimately it has brought us closer together and even happier. We both aren't stressed about issues between us and we can simply be in love now. I want to take this time to make everyone aware that this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I will do anything for him and I know he would do the same for me. He has some exciting news as do i, which brings me to the next topic.

Work. Andrew has decided he wants to be a firefighter, which I think is awesome. It is a very rewarding profession both financially and emotionally. So, we have been spending time studying for the test and he has been working out and stuff. As for me, I have two possible new job opportunities for next semester. One is a teaching assistant position for the AIDS class I took last semester and the other is a position in the childrens portion of the library on campus. I will continue working at the candy store, but that would make THREE jobs and lots of income which is what I need. As for the candy store, my boss is working me close to full time which is also helping out with expenses I have this summer.

Volunteer. Also in my spare time I have been volunteering for my mom's school. I work with the 2nd graders in their classroom, perform office duties, and basically do what people need me to do. Just trying to get ahead with some experience before my student teaching.

Home. I have moved home from college for the summer. It was rough packing everything up and moving it here and to be completely honest I still have not finished unpacking. It is just such a gross task! Anyways, this lets me spend more time with Andrew which we both like, but I have also learned it makes me not eat as much! Haha. But we have to do it all over again in August because my roommate and I got an apartment.

College. My exams went fairly well and I finished my classes with pretty good grades. One A, four Bs, and one C. I am taking two online courses this summer that start June 27. They are Child Development and Intro to Folklore. They should be pretty interesting. I have my courses for next semester all set up as well. I am pretty excited.

Coaching. I told you I would find another topic! I am a volleyball coach for 5th grade at St. Als in Bowling Green. Myself and the other coach, Taylor, will be beginning this in August. I am pretty excited about this because I have always wanted to coach volleyball. I miss it so much.


Well, I am off to go wedding dress shopping. No I am not getting married...yet. Andrew's sister is getting married in November and she has asked me to be in the wedding. Therefore, I must find a dress and everyone is going tonight to look. Happy blogging.
