Adventure is Out There!

 Wow wow wow wow wow. It has been over a year since my last update. A lot has happened. I resigned from my daycare job, for various reasons, and found a job that is more suited for me at this time in my life. I am a full-time nanny to two amazing kids. One is 3 and the other is just about to turn one in a couple of weeks. I have been working with this family for 9 months and I have loved watching these kids grow each and every day. Since starting my childcare career it has been so rewarding to watch all these kids flourish. I am truly grateful that this is the path that God has put me on. 

In other news, I am about to graduate with my Teacher Education associates degree by the end of the next quarter and I am ecstatic! Even though it is just a little 2-year degree, it took me a little longer to get it because I was only doing school part-time while I was working. But I am so happy that I did because I did not overwork myself. I am just so excited to say I have a college degree! In other scholarly news, I have been accepted to attend Central Washington University in the fall to continue my education in getting my bachelors in Elementary Education! I am incredibly nervous but equally as excited for this new life journey. It is going to be scary, stressful, life-changing, and fun all at the same time. I will be moving 2 1/2 hours away from my family and I am very sad to be leaving them as well as my friends at home. I know it is going to be so tough and I expect to have sucky days. But thank goodness we have FaceTime so thank you Apple! 

I am sure I will have plenty to talk about with my new and coming adventures and I will try to update more often now that there is stuff going on in my life!


God bless each and every one of you!

I Miss Being a Kid.

I miss being a kid.  I miss thinking and imagining like a kid. I miss getting excited about a sleepover that has been planned for weeks. I miss going to a friend's house for a playdate where we play barbies or make music videos on Video Star. I miss getting excited about the first day of school. I miss having recess where we would jump rope, swing, or play imagination games. I miss playing games with my brother that we just made up. I miss family car rides to the store or even to school. I miss not having to worry about money. I miss not needed to have a job. I miss playing with toys. I miss having energy throughout the day. I miss not worrying about appearance. I miss being so positive. I miss thinking everything is okay. I miss playing outside for hours on end. I miss being amazed by everything because it's new. I miss being innocent. I miss being a kid.

Moving Along in Life

      It can be so hard to move on from the things in your life that have been there for years. Recently I have aged out of competitive cheer. I have cheered for 9 years and to have it be over it is the strangest thing. I realize that you have to take in and appreciate every moment of something you love because you don't know when it will be over, and even if you do know when it will be over it gives you more reason to embrace it. I have also gotten a new job as an assistant teacher at an early learning center. This job has shown me that you need a lot of patience to work with kids, but it has also shown me how much I love spending time with them. Working with kids is my new journey. When a door closes another one opens.       With cheer ending, I feel like it is pushing me out into the adult world now. It helps me open up to start new hobbies, which I am very excited about. I have been looking into a Zumba class and also open swim to help me stay...

Dear Former Friend

  Dear Former Friend, When I first met you I didn't know we would become best friends for many years to come I didn't even know that I would see you again But when we reunited, we couldn't stay apart You were so gentle and kind Your heart was in a good place You always put others before yourself, and I have always admired that I introduced you to my other friends, and we all became a friend group That was one of the best things that have ever happened to me I loved how we all got along even though our personalities differed All was well Until it wasn't We saw a change, and you didn't The girl we once knew was fading day by day We could see you struggling, and we offered you our help But you would decline You would mention the same people who supposedly did you wrong But we realized over time that your stories weren't entirely true You thought that everyone was out to get you Yet that was not correct Sure some people had bad intentions, but those people truly wer...
