BIG TIME UPDATE

ok so now it's like a week from Christmas and I have yet to blog anything that's going on.

On the Monday before Thanksgiving, I started my new job as a lead preschool teacher at Childcare Network. I have 10 3yr olds. They are really cute. Some days are perfect and others, well not so perfect. The main thing is to be postive and keep a smile. I went through a week of one child hitting, kicking, threatening me and my co-teacher. All we did is tell the parents and he did fine the following week. I think parent communication is very important. I know its hard for kids to go through 5 teachers in one yr, but seriously, people come and people go for a reason. that being said, I am very thankful for my job. I was very lucky to catch it when I did. All I did was fill out the app, came in 2x to interview/observe, then was hired! I never knew I would end up in the position I am. I do struggle keeping up with everything, but I think I am doing pretty good jumping in and going with the flow.

On that note, my car is doing really bad. I can't afford all the work it needs and its really not worth the money to fix it if I did have it, so my fiance is giving me his police impala and purchasing another car in the next few weeks. I am so greatful for him. I don't know what I would do without him. Its so good to know someone cares so much for me.

Well, wedding plans have started. I know my colors and place and month. my colors are teal and white. the place is hopefully colonial williamsburg and the month is November 2010. I can't believe I am getting married! I have so much to be thankful for. My number 1 is Mike. He is the best! We are totally meant to be together ForEVER!

Buttercup is doing good. He has had a bit of fleas we are trying to figure out where they are coming from. I have givin him lots of baths. It's helped tramendously. He will be going to the vet the beginning of the new year. He is still full of energy and is doing well transitioning of me going back to work. afterall, he is Spoiled rotton! We love our canine kid!

I don't know if I mentioned, but my neice Elliemae was born on Oct 27, 2009! I get to meet her Christmas! I am sooooooooo excited and of course Cece is 2! I love them so much. I am getting to know my other niece Ariel too! she is toooo cute!

Christmas is gonna be awesome this year! my brother and his family are actually coming in from Florida! I haven't seen them in almost a year! and Mike is off work that whole holiday and weekend! I have to work xmas eve but its all good! I get to introduce my wonderful fiance to my mom's side of the family. :) I am sooooo happy and full of joy! all the positive outcomes have overcome the all the struggles. things are finally looking up and I am getting on my feet finally!

Afterall I love my life!

makin movies

Yesterday I decided to try makin' a movie with Buttercup. In the meantime I found this cool software I had on my computer and did not even know. I was able to capture some cute pictures of Buttercup while in the makin' of the movie. Here they are...

I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Hopefully more to come soon...

My job has been very interesting so far. I work in Colonial Williamsburg as a Nanny. The children are very well behaved and listen pretty good for being 3 and 5. Soon, I am going to start doing crafts with them, music, teaching colors, numbers and alphabets, coins and various other information that may be useful for them. I am so happy I found a job I like. It is fun and challenging at the same time.




these are sock puppets for the little hands

They loved making 3D flowers and I helped with the vases and glueing

Man on a white horse

I got a job!

So, that was the easiest interview ever. I never worked with a single parent family, but its all good. I think this would be the best thing for the family. I think I really was meant to be put in place. Its gonna take the super nanny in me to help this family. wow.

I start on Tuesday. The community is really cool. They have lots of shops, restraunts, etc. He said I can take the girls and do things with them. I am really looking forward to working! Now I can finally move on with what I have been waiting to do!

:)

That will do...

new beginnings

I am very excited. In a little while I have an interview with a family in Colonial Williamsburg to be their nanny of 2 daughters. NO BOYS yay! haha, they are 3 and 5. It will be awesome if I get this job.

On to something totally different. I have had a few things happen to me in my life as far as seeing spirits, I have had people with me who saw them too, and so I move to Williamsburg and the spirits follow me. I have come in and there have been candles on the floor, dolphin figurines thrown literally at me, lights coming on right in front of me, the feeling of anxiety as if someone was right there behind me, whistle noises just sitting here talking to mike, (he heard it to) it sounded like someone was whistling right here in the room, o and clocks falling off the wall 2 in the morning. (scared the living daylight out of my roommate). so yeah, ... I dont know, and I have been praying that whatever it is, to leave me alone.

any responders??

good food

Good food. why not.

We (Mike and I) eat this atleast once a week. We usually have stuffed Salmon with it but, we thought this was a good snack on Sunday afternoon.

on my mind...

This is what is on my mind about being unemployed...

1. wake up at 5am to make coffee.
2. after mike leaves for work, I am at the computer
3. by the end of an hour, I have had a whole pot of coffee.

4. fill out applications, waiting for phone calls, and listening to music to drown out the "feeling of depression" that pushes on my chest.

5. watch roomies leave for work, while I am at home feeling bad I don't have a freakin' job. blah

overload

Well since I haven't been on here since May, I guess I better update.

I now live in Williamsburg,Va. I am looking for a job. I applied at the Cumberland Hospital in New Kent. I am really hoping I get it. I would be a behavior specialist if I do get it.

I have the best boyfriend ever! I didn't ever update about him. oops. So, I met Mike in Richmond, Va after work on Monday June 1, 2009. Before that, he had emailed me on singlesnet. I am so happy i responded because i wasnt going to after I had really bad luck. I had gone in to delete my account and there his email was that particular day. We then met and clicked. He asked me out again that evening and I said yes. I came home full of excitement and a feeling of knowing I am going to be with him forever. The moment I met him I knew we would be dating and more. I moved to Williamsburg about a month ago after he asked me to move in with him. I had no hesitation. He asked my parents in all properness (sp) if he could take my hand in marriage. He did ask me if that was ok before they even knew. I kept it a secret for about 2 weeks! One evening, he came in the room, got on his knee, told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and asked me to marry him and of course I said YeS! I haven't got a ring yet but it is coming. So I will have a story for that. We haven't set a date or anything because I told him I didn't want to plan anything until I had a job. he completly understands and we will start planning as soon as all that is set. its alot less stressful. not that being engaged is! its so exciting! I am so excited and so happy that God has put him in my life!

Buttercup is doing well. he loves living here and being able to walk around and not having cat poop to eat. which was very gross. i have paused on my children book writing until my job gets started and i can get back into focus. now back to the day. i am willing to work on my blog better. right now i just updated on my life so far. ....

update

wow i haven't been on here in like a year almost. well here is an update. i moved to an apartment the first of feb. it was going fine with lee but then i just ended it all in april. it was so much to let go yet so much to come in my future i know God will give me. right now i am into photography and writing children's books and painting, etc. it does feel weird being single again. one day the right guy will come around and will give me the love that God meant for us to have.

Buttercup is doing great. he is so funny and always makes my day smiling when i get home from work and wagging his tail.

I am moving the first weekend in July to my own apartment. no roommates, just me and buttercup. I am so excited about it. my sister lives over in the complex which is cool. i will atleast get to see one of my neices. my brother's wife is expecting AGAIN!!! i'm super excited but sad at the same time because I don't even get to see Cece except maybe once or twice a yr if i'm lucky.

my job is doing good. im hopeing i get more hours with the new family i meet tomorrow also with my family i keep now. nannying is fun.

the school of autism has hired me but has yet to offer me a position. lol. isn't it crazy! my name has come up in every meeting but i know nothing about it.

i hope kris allen wins american idol tonight. i love his voice and he will be awesome no matter what.

Im off today and just relaxing. peace out yall.
