Awesome Opportunity

The past few months I have been feeling a bit restless. It seems like the more I try to do to fill my days, the more restless I become. Very strange. I've been praying and asking God to give me peace, but its almost as if I feel something BIG is about to happen...I just don't know what. Uggh....I get so annoyed when God doesn't tell me everything!!

As most of you know, I'm studying to become a physical therapist and I'm still trying to get all my pre-reqs because ASU keeps adding new ones each year (or so it seems!), so I feel like I've been in school for a long time. This semester I'm taking 16 hours, but 3 of those classes might just knock me on my derriere. On top of work and school, I was trying to figure out a schedule for when I could volunteer at the rehab center. I need 50 hours before I can apply to PT school....Well, God, in all His wonderful grace came through for me.

This morning I got a call from a physical therapist that I've worked with before, and she told me about a position at the center, in which I could work every Tuesday and Thursday morning and possibly get paid. Plus, I'd be getting my volunteer hours that I need! She told me that she found my number from this summer when I volunteered at a camp and she wanted me to apply because there were only 2 spots open. I was so shocked that she would call me to tell me about this position, because I know alot of students would kill for it. Mostly, I was just thankful.

I'm not sure if I'll get the job, but that simple phone call was enough reassurance to me that God still remembers my insignificant struggles and is willing to help me out. I still have that feeling that something big is going to happen and I absolutely CANNOT wait....

Time for Haircuts

Both Roddick and I are in need of haircuts.

Just thought you should know.

Why Did God Make Grasshoppers?

Seriously....they freak me out....big time. A couple of weeks ago I was driving downtown, minding my own business, and suddenly a grasshopper just hops his little self on my windshield and into my car. I started screaming and I think I may have swerved a little bit, because the whole thing just scared me and I really couldn't do anything but scream and whimper since I was driving. I could just imagine that nasty little grasshopper spreading "grasshopper" germs all over my car. I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to just pull over and look for the creature and shoo him out. Gross!


Then this past Sunday night, Sarah and I went to Coldstone for some ice cream. While we were walking back to our cars, a HUGE grasshopper landed on my neck and I went ballistic while Sarah laughed. What a friend.

I just hate grasshoppers and I think we could've lived in our world without so many grasshoppers....Ughh!!

Jury Duty

I got summoned for jury duty....I'm so excited! I don't know how everything works, but I've always wanted to be a juror. I don't know why, but I guess I just watched too many lawyer shows. I still have to fill out my paper work, but it doesn't look too hard. I actually got the letter in the mail while we were in San Antonio and was supposed to return it in 3 to 5 days. Oops. I'll be right on it tomorrow morning! Well, I better get to studying. I have my final tomorrow. Eek!!

Expiration Dates Are Important

This entire summer I have not had the privilege of having any type of vacation because I've either been working or going to school....or both. So, finally this weekend the family decided to just take a trip to San Antonio. Actually, my parents were here for business and they brought my brothers along, and Bethany and I met them up here last night (Friday) and we are staying until Sunday.

I have been looking forward to coming here to just shop and relax and....SLEEP!! I'm not technically done with school, but I'm close enough. Anyways, I can't ever take a trip without some sort of drama happening or me forgetting something....and with this trip, it had to do with my check card!

I knew that my check card was going to expire in August, and I kept looking for the new one at my parents house, but I never saw it and they never saw it to give it to me, so I just assumed that my bank was going to send it to me later (as in after August). I never did call my bank in time to get a new card, so here I am in San Antonio with an expired check card :(

I called one of my aunts who handles all of my finances, and she came up with a way that I could shop. Bless her heart! She said that I could transfer my money to my dad's account so that I could have that money to spend. Yay for loopholes!!
