Happy Memorial Day!

With allergy season hanging on for dear life, the past few weeks have been exceptionally torturous for my poor nose. I'm sitting on my bed watching Father of the Bride with a pile of used tissues to my right and a box of clean ones to my left. I wish I was outside doing something fun and Memorial Day-ish, but alas, it's cloudy and the freshly mowed grass is not my friend right now. Seth is working during the day and I have to go to work at 5, so I won't get to spend any time with him either. This is our crazy life right now, with our work schedules consistently clashing. We're young and neither one of us really have our "careers" under our belts yet. But ya know what, it is only making us stronger. We know that this won't last forever and we're thankful for the time we do have together. We have tons of blessings, and I know that one day we will look back on this hectic season and know we are the better for it. Short term sacrifice for long term gain.

In other news, yesterday was the last day of school. Although I still have to go on Tuesday for our closing day, yesterday was my last real day with the kids. I'm really going to miss them! They have caused me stress, but they're kids. They are gifts from God, and while I get angry thinking about some of their home situations, I know that they all have a chance to make it. I hope I was and can be a small part of helping them realize that. I'm also sad about leaving the awesome teachers I have had the privilege of working with for the past 2 years. I have grown to become friends with them, especially in the past few months. We've had some really good times while trying to keep each others' sanity intact. It's bittersweet, this moving on to a new career path. I'm excited to start cosmetology school (yes I am going back to school!) in August and I know that God has great plans for that part of my life. Excited to see what He has in store!!!
