Day 2- 10 Years!

Okay, today's blog is asking where will I be in 10 years. Wow, 10 years!! I will be 34 in 10 Years which scares me a little!!! Well, I see myself in my own classroom teaching, happily married, owning our own home, and having 2 children. My goal is to get a teaching job soon!! That is one of my dreams....I never knew that that would be that path God would want me to take, but I enjoy it so much and never look at it as a job!! It is the most blessed career ever!! It is sooo rewarding and I love it!! Marriage is the number one thing in my life that is soo important to me! Now days, marriage is a feat for most people and enter in marriage lightly thinking that if it doesn't work out, then hey I can get a divorce and find someone else with what I want!! I love Tim so much and could never imagine having to go through a divorce!! Owning our own home is important because we want a stable home that is big enough for our family to grow!!! I cannot wait to have our own home and get to design it and pick it out or build one!! Its just an exciting process to even think about!! And finally children....Tim and I have talked about this a lot and we want a boy and a girl, but if that doesn't happen then we want just 2.....but I have started to think that 3 would be fun too! But, I dont know if we can handle 3!!!! My mom and dad had 3 and Tim's parents had 3 so I dunno maybe not for us!! But I am excited to think that in 10 years we will have children that are probably 6-8 years old!! Wow, I cannot believe that I am growing up so fast and thinking about all these grown up things :) I am excited to think about 10 years from now, but honestly I have nooo clue!!! I just hope that we have a happy, healthy family!!!

Day 1

Your current relationship, if single discuss being single. Okay well for those of you that know me, you know that I am happily married going on 1 year and a half :) Our relationship is so great!! We have had our downs here lately because I am the part of the relationship that likes stability and consistency, where as Tim is the spontaneous, fly by the seat of his pants type person. Let me give you a little background and then elaborate on us now as a couple.
     We met in 2006 on Myspace through talking and friends. Then we met in person at an Iron Bowl game that our friends, Janet and Anthony Mince, had at their house. I never spoke to Tim that night because I was with one of my friends and we were hanging out with other people. Well the matchmakers started getting ideas that we would be a great couple because we both weren't really looking for anyone to date, but maybe just casually hang out and talk and nothing too serious. Well, Tim invited me to his apartment New Years Eve 2006/2007 New Year. We hung out and sung karaoke at his apartment and had a great time. Little each day he would call me and I would go by on my way to class and see him. So basically we have been inseparable ever since. I fell in love with him hard and took my time to get to know him and see how wonderful of a person he was and still is to me! We were engaged on October 23, 2009 and got married July 17, 2010!! The happiest day of my life!!! 
       Here we are January 12, 2012 and we are going strong as ever. I fall in love with him every day! I cannot stand being away from him and when we are together it is just magic!! We have the best chemistry ever and we click in a way I have not seen anyone in a long time!! We love to talk and share things with each other while at the same time watch TV and laugh and just relax with each other. Tim makes me feel so safe and secure! I know he always has my best interst at heart. We both want the best for the other and want to watch the other grow and become the best they can be. Our relationship was not something I expected and still to this day feel sooooo blessed to have!! In the past things were rough for me because I was holding on to some much from feelings to people to places and it wasn't good for me. Tim gave me a whole new perspective on life and made me want to be the best wife, woman, and person I can be. He pushed me to achieve my goals and believes that I will achieve them!! I could not imagine my life without him!! I am so grateful and humbled that he chose me to be his wife!!! I love him more and more everyday!!! I cannot wait to start our own little family and have that much more love for him/her and for each other!!! Rudy is enough for now...our little weinie dog, but one day in the future when I have a full-time teaching job, we will start our little family and build an even bigger relationship for us!!!

30 day challenge...thanks Johnsons :)

Hello friends!! I am currently sitting at home just leaving work and relaxing! I was reading a friends blog and saw she was doing a 30 day challenge so writing blogs. I love to write and read other people's blogs, so I figured I would do it to see if there are actually 30 things I can honestly write about so here goes....I have posted the challenge and the next blog will be number 1! Have fun reading!!

Future Continues......

Well, I went on another interview today....that makes like number 20 since summer....maybe?! I hope one of these eventually pays off....I just want some experience and someone who knows I love my job and will do it well and to the best of my ability! I am sitting here break from work and just looking at facebook and just how sad some people really have it. Tim and I have definitely had our low points lately, but it really has made us stronger and I know we will come out fighting! Neither one of us is working in our "career" fields....at least his school was paid for!! So, discouragement is nothing new in our house....I guess at this point we just expect it!! I have also seen where there are many friends who have ended or ending their journey with their "soulmate". I wish I could go to a conference and speak to ladies who are engaged or want to be engaged and tell them how marriage really is. It is awesome!!! I have the best husband ever who works so hard to support us, financially, emotionally, and physically! It is challenging because there isnt enough time to do everything you would like with your spouse. Their are obstacles that just pop up and you cannot be prepared for, but take it head on and fight for what you have. Marriage is tiring, emotional, happy, blessed, etc.... It really does take work.....if you have never lived with another person especially of opposite sex and you are not determined to work at it....you will fail!!! It takes patience, guidance, listening, communicating, etc.....to make things work!! God is the number one reason why Tim and I have been close and brought together!! God connects us and I feel him in us every day! He is the reason we are still going strong and will continue for the rest of our lives!! I am sooo lucky to have a Godly husband because most people dont and that is a hard thing to swallow!! So just remember on your hardest days, I have been there...I prolly know how you feel, and I prolly know the person that you are mad at the most........yourself!!! I just wanted to take the time to tell you...life can never get that bad! It will get better and God has a plan for you!! Thank you for reading my blog! Peace out!

God's Love

Hey guys! Well as I sit here on the close of 9/11/11, the 10 year anniversary, I was thinking about all of the things I am soo thankful for. Most of all, God's love and grace. I cannot believe he sent his son to die on a cross for ME!! Little ole me, the one who sins daily, disappoints daily, and never says enough thank you's or prayers!! I just want to say thank you for all the military, police, firefighters, rescue squad, ambulance responders, hospital personel etc. I cannot imagine what these people went through on 9/11! It is the most horrific day of my lifetime and I am so thankful and lucky to be alive and be able to hold my family members and tell them I love them one more day! We are not promised tomorrow, so do it daily!! I just sit here in awe of all the things I should be thankful for. A Chrisitan raising, being saved by my Lord Jesus Christ, my husband, my parents, brother and sister, my family who has given me words of encouragement and prayers! My church family, my GA's that weekly humble me more by what they share and their walk with Christ. Just be thankful! God's love is so abundant! Take hold of it today!! If you have any questions on how to inherit heaven or Christ, please ask!!! Thanks guys! Love you all...and please remember to keep me in your prayers!! I very hopeful that soon something will come along for me and I will be thankful, but until then I am very content and happy with where I am in my life!!

When Does Life Start??

Well, I am feeling kinda disconnected tonight as I sit here and looking at my friends' blogs and pics. I am so happy for them and how things are going in their lives. I just feel that something is not right in mine. I want to be in a classroom of kids sooo bad!! I am just struggling with this soo bad! I understand you have to start somewhere, but that somewhere for me is a lot different than some people. Tim just got a job, so it is not like a could take a chance with a job that paid nothing. I have a job currently, but I have no clue what it will turn into, so I just have to be patient. I am enjoying working instead of being at home, but I just do not know when my break will be. I also wish Tim could get his dream radio job!! I do not know how some people are so lucky and get everything they want. Then there are people like me and Tim who have to struggle to just get a little bit, and still struggle more to get half of what we want. I am grateful for everything we have, but I am just waiting for "life" to start!!! I am still hopeful and looking, so maybe now that I have something else to keep me content, I can delve into other things I love and am passionate about!! Thanks for reading my blog! ADIOS!

Something Old, Something New

Well, I have been a little down lately, but we were able to head to the beach this last weekend and have some fun with some really great friends. I wish I could find a job teaching somewhere....I dont even really care where anymore. I have tried every kind of school as well. It is sad to see one of my friends decide to go into law because he knows it is too tough to get a teaching job. It is just crazy!! Well other than the same ole same ole...everything is great! My bday is tomorrow..I will be 24!!! YEHAW! Then our anniversary is on the 17th so maybe we will get to go somewhere special and spend some time! Thanks for reading my blogs and keeping up with us!! :)
