In a romantic mood

The Kiss

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.
