married

cass and nick are getting married. i went and had dinner with cass and catherine in idaho falls last night because i can't go to cassidy's bridal shower later this week. it was really good to see them and talk and hear about all of cass's wedding plans and all of that. i haven't really talked to her much lately so it was nice to hear what she has going on. honestly, when i first heard that they were getting married it was a little hard but now i am just so happy for them. they are going to have an amazing family and they're going to be able to bless so many people's lives together. also, it is nice to see cass so happy and know that she is going to stay that way. i am happy they are my friends.

I love these two. congrats!

monday

Monday's are always interesting. Last night I couldn't go to bed until after 1 in the morning because first of all, i took a really long (3 1/2 hour nap) yesterday and secondly, i hadn't planned what my classes were going to be doing today and I didn't want to work on it until monday (ok, i know that waiting until midnight is kind of lame and more of the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law but at least i did that.) because i guess its real work now, not just homework, and i don't want to work on sundays. it was hard going through college without doing homework on sundays but i saw blessings come from it many times so i am going to carry that out through my life.

So, i started the week tired. stupid idea. oh well... what's done is done. today hasn't been too bad so far. The basketball student i am friends with who i have mentioned before spends a lot of time in my classroom. she has my class second period and then 3rd period she has study hall which she hates so she comes in here to work cause its my prep and then sometimes she finishes her 4th period stuff and comes and does stuff for me then. i am glad that she feels comfortable coming in here for help and to just talk. i don't know how much i said about it before but the girl needs some serious stability in her life. she has way too much responsibility for a 17 year old and i feel bad for her. i wish that parents would realize that their children can only be young for so long and let them enjoy their carefree lives. i miss being a teenager sometimes and i wish that they figured that out and enjoyed it while they can.

life

Right now my life is really really busy. teaching and especially coaching has really taken up a lot of my time. ok, almost all of my time. sometimes i wish that i just had some time for myself to do what i want but then i think about it and i am glad to be busy. this summer i didn't have any responsibility and nothing that i really had to do everyday. i was bored almost all of the time. i don't even know the last time that i felt bored. it is nice to be busy. it makes me feel like my life is worth something and that people care if i am around. lately i have really had the feeling that this is really where i am supposed to be and what i'm supposed to be doing. i am around the people i need to be around right now. it is a good feeling to feel secure with being here at least for right now. I have no idea what i am going to do next year. i don' tknow if i want to stay teaching at american falls or not. i really like it but life can change fast. guess that's exciting though... never knowing what's coming.

i need to be better at writing on here. i consider it like my journal and i haven't been very good at keeping it updated. i'm going to try to do better.
