I loved this picture! I never really thought of myself as a Daddy's Girl til after I graduated from College. What can I say? I love my daddy! Maybe its because we are more on the same level now, or maybe its because of living at home this past year and sharing the same laughs and heartaches. . . but either way, I would do anything for my dad!
I want to marry someone who is like my dad. Someone who loves the Lord, who loves me unconditionally, who can take my sarcasm and humor. . . and add to my sarcastic comments:o)

In a romantic mood
Well, its been quite some time since I blogged anything. School got out, and then I started a temp job and haven't really gotten around to updating it. Sorry to my few faithful friends who faithfully check and are probably wondering what has happened.
School did get out and it is such a relief to have a summer break. No more taking work home with me for a few months. . . aaahh:o) There is a definite sigh of relief on my end. I love teaching, but if I had to keep up that schedule all 12 months of the year, I would be put into an early grave or committed to an insane asylum. The one thing that truly excites me about next year is the fact that I am teaching 5th grade ALL BY MYSELF! No more shifting classrooms, and no more "whole filler" position for me! I went to Barnes and Noble with my friend Jen on monday night and I have a definite weakness for children's books. I only bought 2, which took a lot of self-control. I can't wait to set-up my classroom and decorate and just get all settled in!
I am definitely in a romantic mood lately, hence the picture for this blog. You have to admit that it is pretty intense. I am more or less confused about my so called "love life". I was so in deep like of someone (who will remain nameless), and I didn't have an open mind towards anyone else. Our relationship wasn't going anywhere past friends, and he just didn't seem to have much motivation in that area of his life. So I have been praying that God will send someone to totally sweep me off my feet. I didn't expect confustion. God knows what is best, but right now I am confused between the guy I liked all school year, and a new guy who I met a couple weeks ago. Not that I should get too wrapped up in such things, because I do not have to pursue. I just wait to be pursued. The one thing I am hypothetically afraid of is that this new guy and I will start something more serious, and then the old guy will come along and want something more than friends. I guess because I can't totally let go of the old guy. I thought I was totally over the old guy too, until that thought crossed my mind. The Lord knows what I need and when I need it, so I know that everything will work out for His Glory. I just gotta keep reminding myself of that and remember that God is molding me into His image. It is just so hard as a girl to not get unrealistic expectations and dreams of a romantic relationship. Jeremiah 29:11 has become one of my favorite verses recently. God knows the path.

My trip to Wisconsin. . .
So I tried to pick an appropriate picture to go along with my trip, and this one gave me the biggest chuckle. It definitely describes how those Wisconsinites talk. . . they're a different breed all on their own.
My trip was so much fun. I love travelling and catching up with old college buddies, and this trip had a little bit of both. It wasn't as depressing driving on campus of NBBC, because I wasn't under all the rules as a student. It was actually quite liberating to wear jeans around campus and in the class buildings.
All the girls in the wedding went to Peir's Gorge for a picnic on saturday, then we met up with the rest of the wedding party and relatives for a bombfire at the Coat's house. It was so relaxing!
Julie and Rob's wedding was beautiful, and they had an absolutely gorgeous day for pictures as well. One of the bridesmaids fainted and fell off the stage, which provided some extra drama for the whole event. I did feel horrible for the poor bridesmaid, but looking back it is actually quite humurous.
The whole trip was quite relaxing, and I enjoyed being in the middle of nowhere. I don't think I could live out there, but to visit a quiet and serene place for a few days was definitely a blessing.
