| I am officially moved into the "White House." It feels good. It feels even better to have my 2 roomies there with me and mostly moved in. The place feels a lot more "home-ier" now that they have their things moved in.
Children's Cottage is good. I'm getting a new girl Monday. I am hoping that she doesn't cry the entire day like another girl who was new last week. And I got my first full pay check yesterday too. Money is good! |

| Well this is my first full week at Children's Cottage daycare. I started with the kids Wednesday, so I've had a few days. I'm seeming to enjoying it so far. It's the toddler room and only 3 (out of the 5) have shown up. I've come to the realization that I did not want to graduate. It kinda sucks having so many friends younger than me. I'm graduated and should move on with life. And so it's hard for me not to feel jealous or not want to work so I can hang out with my friends. I'm bummed that I get out at 5:30 + a 45 min drive = I get home at 6:15. Sick! Where is my social life? Ha, welcome to the real world right? So it's hard for me to adjust right now. On another note, I move in to the White House Aug. 11th but as time goes on I keep bumping it up. I'm having a hard time living at home right now. It's been a hard summer and I'm ready to be on my own. I love my family but I want to love them from a distance, from a new life, from a different house. Aug 11 is not too far away. It'll be here before I know it. |

| Here is the second week of July. Big events have happened in this summer. My parents went to China. My friends are going to China. I went to Boston. I've been struggling with my patience and faith in God. After tearfully wrestling with my worries about how I will pay for things next year for the past month, I have finally come to a peace about it. I have no flippin idea, but my Jesus does. I have done all that I can. It is in God's hands now. Worrying has drained a lot of my zest for life. Now that I have given my situation to God, I'm starting to become more of my cheerful self. Being depressed sucks. :) BUt also I read a couple emails today from girls telling me their struggles right now. It's beautiful. Simply beautiful to hear the raw honesty in their feelings. As summer is 1/2 over (i'm sorry to bring that thought up) I'm pleased as to how the summer has treated my friendships. THere has been a lot of opennes and I hope that it continues during the school year. I believe this is how Jesus wants us to live. |
