Don't say a word

Today a 4-month old baby fell asleep on my chest and it was seriously the most incredible, fulfilling feeling in the whole world!

Did you feel the Mountains Tremble?

I got up early this morning (I'll give you a minute to recover from the shock...), and I had plans for later in the morning to go to the Y and make use of my membership. I drove by 2 of the trails by my house and they looked soo inviting with the sun shining and everything. So, after breakfast I decided to take a hike instead of the indoor treadmill thing.

Twas QUITE beautiful and very highly reccomended! My town is so gorgeous, I don't think I realize that often enough. I came to a realization in my hour and a half with the rocks...
Why is it that we choose to appreciate only half of God's creation?
I spent awhile on top of a high set of rocks, looking out in awe thinking how incredible our master artist is, and thinking what a shame it is that science tries to explain away the beauty of it. After that, I went back down that one and took another trail. This one was quite bug infested (really only grasshoppers and bees and stuff). I Hate bugs! So, as I was dodging bugs, that's when I realized that I only admire half of God's handiwork. Kind of sad, eh? Hmmm

Quote o' the day

I had to share this great quote with you:

wedding fun

A friend of mine is getting married in a week, with me by her side. I'm so excited! The only problem is... she's also leaving me in a week :( Why does this happen?? Why do we leave each other for guys? We ditch our friends to live with a boy. I don't understand! :( Actually, I do, I wish I could do it. and ohhhh yeah, it's also kinda God's plan for us.. right. It still stinks though! Oh well, she gets to do life with the man of her dreams every single day starting in a week. I'm oh-so-jealous. That's okay, my happiness for her makes up for it (grr). Since I know you're reading this: Congrats with the biggest capital C! And I'm excited that I get to be pretty in your wedding :)

In other news.. I got to play with babies tonight. I've decided I love the newborn-3 year age wayyy more than the older kids. okay maybe 4 and 5 are okay. Beyond that is pushing it. I always thought I did better with older kids but this summer has enlightened me so much. I love my job more than I can say! I didn't want to leave tonight. If I had the time, I probably wouldve stayed until my 2 little girls were picked up. We had a baby dropped off that screamed bloody murder from the minute her mom walked into the door. My friend Katie was holding her and doing everything she could to get her to stop screaming. I was worried about her she was crying so hard. We kind of gave up and had a conversation over the noise, and then I decided after awhile to relieve her and take the kid (her name was Sierra) for awhile. As soon as I got her, it was quiet. No more screaming, not a single tear. For the next hour or so, in my care, she was completely fine. It was so weird! But also a really complimentative feeling. I probably reminded her of her mom or something, but hey whatever it was- I'm totally okay with it.

Well, time to go torture myself with some physics homework.. yay for me! :-P

Off to school, off to school....

Ahh.. good ol' Billy Madison

School just started.. it's only my 3rd day and I'm already exhausted! Turns out 5 classes and 2 jobs is much harder than I thought. (Plus a long-distance love) All my classes are also crazy hard. You expect a class like organic chemistry to be hard, but a humanities class?! Seriously, the syllabus is several pages long and it looks like the most work of any class I've ever had. Like I said: you expect that out of a class like O-Chem or Physics, but humanities, now that's just crazy talk! Looks like my life will consist of work, homework, and boyfriend when i can squeeze it in. Wish me luck!

But life isn't all bad, I got to play with kids last night and got paid for it (and will 2 nights of every week!)

In other news.... I love being in love!

A New Day Dawns

Really, it all boils down to wanting to be as cool as Brittanie... but alas, I've decided to conform!

Now you can log on and read all about my life, kind of like stalking, but probably legal.

Enjoy! :)
