late nights

so, i just finished watching the season finale of one tree hill. holy moly, why do i love that show so much? i am freaking out right now, and i'm really mad that i have to wait a whole year until i get to see the next episode.

i'm about to continue my journey through the chronicles of narnia. big book.

i guess i'm just really content today. and i wanted to blog about it. it doesn't seem like i'm content very often. oh, and i beat devynn in like 4 games of canasta today. that might have something to do with it. :)

i'm really looking forward to hanging out with some of my berry friends. i haven't seen any of them since graduation! that is not ok with me. :)

until next time.

miracles do happen

so, lets recap:

monday night. i'm lying awake in my bed struggling with my life. i can't understand why God isn't allowing things to move faster with my whole "job" situation. that night, around midnight, i emailed Dougals Co. to see if they still had a position avaialble. (they had offered me a job in february, but i turned it down) at 8:30 the next morning, they called me and said, "yes, we are still looking for someone, can you be here at noon?"

so, just like that i had an interview. it lasted TWO hours! and there were so many things i liked about that school, including the fact that Bridgette already works there! but as i was leaving, something just wasn't right. i was offered a fifth grade position there, right off the bat. i was blown away, and didn't expect to have an offer by the time i left.

well, it turns out that as i was in the interview, a school from cobb county called me - - Big Shanty Intermediate. they wanted me to come interview the next day for a fourth grade position. sooo, long story short, i did, and i loved the school so much more. my principal called me yesterday to let me know that the job was mine for the taking.

so, within a mere four days, i went from knowing nothing about my future to having a job in the grade i wanted, in the county i wanted. and one of the best parts is that dev's house is really close by. :) i am just blown away.

oh, and it doesn't end there. my mom called me and told me that my dad had a phone interview with a really good company...and they called him and asked him to come in for a face-to-face interview! so, that is really encouraging. he has that interview on tuesday. how awesome would it be if he got that job.

now, its memorial day weekend, and i'm headed to the lake with bekah and her family. i'm pretty excited. i love going to the lake!

that's all i have for now...until next time.

being a college graduate isn't all it's cracked up to be

well, i'm home. or am i? i mean, my house is still here, my brother is here, my parents are here, but it's going to take awhile for me to feel like this is home. home for the past four years hasn't really been a room, or a building, but it's been my friends. i think feeny said it best when he said that you don't have to be blood to be family. my berry family isn't across the kitchen, or across the hall anymore. i hate that about graduating. aside from that, however, graduation has been one of the milestones in my life that i won't ever forget. my brothers gave me $550 cash (that i still haven't put in the bank yet)...i want a mac SOOOO badly. but sadly enough, i'm no where close.

i called imran yesterday. i talked to him about possibly getting a job at a starbucks near my house. i don't really want to, but i think i need to now that my dad no longer has a job. and speaking of jobs, i need one of those too. everyday, i get on the cobb co. webiste and look for new postings. when i see one, i email the principal, but by the time they respond, the position has already been filled.

so, basically, if i didn't get to see devynn everyday my life would pretty much suck. so, i guess its a good thing that i have her in my life. :) hahaha. ok, so its really not all that bad. i'm glad scott is home, he kind of balances out the parentals. alrighty, well, this blog is long enough now, and i've definitely said too much.

so, until next time...

this is annoying

i really don't have time to be blogging, and i think that God might be trying to teach me a lesson, because i have posted two other entries, but because i don't know what the heck i'm doing....they aren't here!

ugh. maybe in 8 days, i'll be able to sit down and figure out this whole deal...

until next time...
