As I look back at this summer... there are sooo many things I wish I could go back and change, but I can't. I am going to use this summer as a lesson, and hopefully not make the same choices again. It's amazing looking back, how you think you'll never do something. Then when your in that place you don't see it. How you can trick yourself into thinking it's the right thing. Even when everyone you love, is telling you it's not. I am learning that if I trust in the Lord & in the ones who really care about me, I am safe. I have thrown myself back into my life, and have gotten more out of it in the last 2 weeks, then I have in a while. I'm so thankful we have a forgiving God who is still there, even when you turn away from him. I'm so thankful for the ones who cared, and kept after me even when I didn't listen. For the times I knew I was hurting them, but they were still there. I am going to keep changing and I pray that in all of this, I keep the Lord first in my life. I want to keep growing and keep learning everyday. If I ever start to forget, I pray that I stop to remember the lessons I am learning right now.
I got this song from a friend of mine and it's SO were I'm at.

1 Week
Well this is my last week at my summer job, and I for one am looking forward to school starting. It will be good to see all my favorite kids again. That's one thing I miss when school gets out is the kids. I'm hoping once school starts, I will be able to get some of my own schooling done. Haven't done a whole lot this summer :( Parker has been enjoying his job, and Meghan is ready for school to start. I'm ready for life to slow down just a little bit more then it has this summer. I might be dreaming on that one though. Life never seems to slow down once school starts. Well I'm sure a lot of you already know but I got a new "niece" last week. I got to see her the day she was born, and then went and saw mom, dad, brothers, and baby yesterday. She has changed since the first day, the only thing that hasn't changed is how cute she is! I can't wait to spoil her some more!! Well I better go. My dad is taking me out to dinner tonight so I need to run. Hope you all have had a good week, and that the rest of your week goes well.

It's been awhile
Sorry it's been a bit since I posted anything. Life got a little crazy after school got out. :)
I got a job at the rec. center in our town, as Summer camp counselor. So I get to work with kids even though schools out. I really like what we do. Every week we go on a field trip to different places in the area. Then we have guest speakers from the businesses in town. Along with playing games, swimming, and being together The kids all seem to enjoy what we do. Some kids give you a run for your money but it's worth it.
There are 6 counselors total, 2 for each group. We have 3 groups split into older, middle, and younger campers. We all get along really well, so that makes it nice. I haven't done a lot of school, so I have to play catch up with that. I had great intentions of doing school work everyday, but that didn't happen. Well other then that life has been great. Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch as well.
Hope you all have a great week.

Pottery Barn For Cheap
Okay, so I know that is an impossible thing to say about Pottery Barn but, I did it! I was on may way back home from taking Parker to work and running some errands, when I saw a garage sale sign. For those of you who know this little fact about me, (my mom), I don't enjoy going to garage sales. I'll go every once in a blue moon. Well something sounded kinda fun about going to see what they had. Don't ask me why. Well I pulled up and saw a few neat things, but the thing that caught my eye was a black shelf that looked like one Pottery Barn sells. So I got out of my car, (that's AMAZING!!) and saw it was the shelf from Pottery Barn. I was like "man I don't have any cash." So I asked if they would take a check. Lucky for me they said yes. :) I couldn't wait to get home.
OH and to boot they only
wanted $30 for it!
Normally the shelf cost $119
without shipping so,
I was REALLY excited!!
I had the perfect place for it in
my room and love it.
So yeah that was my fun thing
for today.

What would we do without...
So I got to thinking... scary I know.
What would we do without certain people in our lives. Just as a example. I have a friend April, whose husband Shawn, is a mechanic. She has been wanting me to have him look at my car for awhile. Because of a couple things she noticed while driving my car, back in December. So yeah, I kept saying "NO" just because I knew he was busy. Well Wednesday a week ago my car took it out of my hands. I had gone by their house to drop off some stuff after our Bible study that night. As we were outside talking, I kept seeing this little puff of smoke. The more we talked the bigger that puff got. Well needless to say, it didn't go away. So I turned my car off and April went and got Shawn. It was a coolant hose. Great! So he's already looking at fixing my breaks, and now I have a hose that split right in front of his house!! I have the best luck! Well... it ended up being a good thing he started working on it. When Shawn got working on my breaks he saw that my break line had a leak. SO needless to say, something that was going to be a small job turned into something a little bigger. I'm sooo glad he caught it though!! I don't want to think what would have happened, if I had been going down the freeway and all of a sudden didn't have breaks. Sooo yes I can now say I should have asked him sooner but, it wouldn't have been so much fun if I had of. :) Thanks Shawn, and April. ;)
I don't know what I would do without you guys.
So hope you all have had a good week. On Monday I went with Shawn, April, and the boys to the Ft. Worth Stock Yards. Just to hang out and take a couple family pics. We also took Flat Stanley along with us for their cousins school project. I had a good time as always. If I may say so we got some cute shots. Then today I went to April's Pampered Chef party and had a blast!! I had never been to one before so it was something new. I decided to book a Catalog party off of hers so, now I get to have some fun! One more day left to this work week and I can't wait! I'll be doing a Pre-K class tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. Well I better get going.

Update
Okay so I said on my last post I would let you know what the surprise was for my parents. Well I got busy and forgot until a friend asked what they were. Surprise 1 was a new dryer for my mom. We got a washer that you could stack a few years ago, and have wanted to get the dryer to. So one day Parker & I ran all over TX it felt like trying to get the dryer. Needless to say we finally got it home and set up. I must say I like how it looks.
Next we got a shed for the lawn mower, weed whip, edger, and all other lawn cutting things.
The shed was a pain because we got one size thinking it would work... and then it was too small. By that point the trash service had already taken the box so, we weren't sure if Lowe's was going to take it back. Needless to say we ended up taking it back and after LOTS of problems, we got a bigger shed. It looks nice having the garage empty of all that stuff.
Another exciting thing... I PASSED MY FINALS!!!! I'm soooo happy about that. Now on to the second semester. :)
