what keeps me going

February 13, 2008

i have really been blessed with the people who have come into my life in the last month.  i’m not a religious person, but i used to be.  certain events happened in my life that made me question faith and God.  i’ve always thought of myself as a loving, giving, and kind person with a good heart.  in the last week, 3 different people have approached me and began a conversation about religion and people being lost but finding their way back.  it seems as though someone is trying to get my attention.  you have it.

my professors this semester have been nothing but awesome.  i feel very comfortable sharing my concerns with them about difficult assignments, and they are very willing to help.  dr isele even offered to meet me at steak n shake at 3am to discuss history standards as they pertain to researching family heritage.     i look forward to being a teacher someday, or at least making a difference somehow in a child’s life.

well, tomorrow is valentines day and i will be working until around 9.  my friend steve and i decided that we are having a anti-valentines day night (since we both do not have dates) drinking beer and watching espn at a neighborhood bar after i get off work.  nothing like hanging out with the guys on the most romantic day of the year lol

my mom has been recording old family vhs tapes from christmas and other events onto dvd, so hopefully soon i’ll find some good video of me with a serious mullet and leg warmers dancing to debbie gibson and riding my strawberry shortcake bike with the awesome handlebars.
