A much needed V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N (bom bom bom bom) in the SPRING TIME (Beach Boys)!

Its official, I am on spring break! A much deserved and needed break, if you ask me. I had an eight hour class today for school on Multiple Intelligences. 8 hours is long, but it went surprising fast! I really enjoyed learning about the 8 intelligences and how to teach students who have different and many intelligences. I am a bodily-kinesethetic learner, but also learn visually and intra-personally (alone). Tonight I am going to a new Brazilian restaurant with some friends and then heading home tomorrow (prayers would be great for the 8 hour drive).

I had a HUGE answer to prayer this past week. After much thought and deliberation, I applied to be the Nampa High School head varsity soccer coach.... and I got the job! I am going to get the opportunity to take a broken program, and make it into something successful. Soccer has always been my passion and now I get the opportunity to have have my own program to help coach and build the skills of young females athletically, individually, and for the real world. I hope I do a good job... I know I will. These girls need a female role model and it if my desire to be that for them through life and soccer!

Now I am not one to be into politics and the bulls**t I think it entails, nor have I ever publicly voiced my opinion of an elected president, but because of my right to Freedom of Speech, I need to vent for a second:

I did not vote for President Obama in this election, I voted for John McCain. However, my vote for McCain wasn't in God's plan(obviously). But I did vow that no matter whoever is in office, I will support and pray for. I think we live in such a SIN-FILLED & BROKEN world. It is my prayer that whoever the president may be, will help fix some of the injustice, the failing economy, and help make this not only a better nation, but WORLD.

I heard a comment on Jay Leno that President Obama made that absolutely appalled me and pissed me off. He made a comment about his bowling score in relation to the Special Olympics. This was so unjust and so UNEQUAL for the people of America and this world, that live with disabilities. I understand that he apologized and made a public statement. But for the first black man that has ever been elected should especially know about inequality; making fun of people with special needs is unequal. What is our country fighting for if even our black president can't show equality and puts people down? I work with students that have special needs and know that half my my students could kick Obama's ass in bowling.

Sorry about the soap box!

Better get packing so I can get up early and head to Tiff's for NaNa's birthday party

How do you pray?

Lately I have been really struggling with certain aspects of my life. I am unsure right now of what God wants me to do with school, where I live, relationships. Everyone just tells me to pray... pray for this, pray for that. I don't get how to pray.How do I do it so that I can see what God wants me to do? I always pray and say "Lord please be with so and so, please be with this person; please show me the way, what do I do Lord? I need you, please." BUT I AM NOT SEEING ANYTHING! I am not seeing any sign of any direction and I NEED ONE! Hoes anyone have any suggestions or ways that help them?

I guess I just need some advice and some prayer for myself. I am spending my Friday evening watching Breakfast of Tiffany's (a definite feel-good movie) and drinking a beer.

books, papers, work

Those are the three main things in my life right now. I swear I post about once every two weeks. But hey its my blog, its not a homework assignment, so I don't have a deadline! Things are hectic over here. The weather is bi-polar. Its 70 degrees one minute and snowing the next day. Who knows!?

Joe surprised me last weekend with a ticket home. I have been super home sick lately, and the three days I got to be home were bittersweet. I hate leaving my family. I surprised dad, Tiffany, and Krista (mom knew I was coming). It was nice to be able to see Avery and Jackson. I had a childhood development project due and got to do it on Avery (pictures soon to follow).

School is busy! That's all I can say about that. I am taking two classes and have found my social life going down the drain. Its only temporary though. My Development class ends on Tuesday and I'll continue the online Learning Theories online for a couple more weeks.

I find myself being moody and annoyed at everything these days. I feel like I am a horrible girlfriend and sometimes can't believe Joe still wants to be with me. I swear I take him for granted and need to stop that. I have this guy that loves me with everything I have, and I snap and am rude. I hate how I act towards him. Maybe its because the people you love the most get the brunt end of stress and fatigue.

I have a huge project due on Tuesday so I need to get back to it. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
