Whats New So Far

So since I have been back I have had a look at my future and decided I wanted things to be different. When I originally took this nanny position I thought that I would only be here a year so most of my family was asking when I would be back. Never really thought of that, however I can honestly say that it looks like I will be staying longer if asked.

For those of you who didnt know I was back together with my boyfriend I officially broke up with him for good. Yeah, I am crazy. He is a great guy, just not my great guy. I told the news to Morgan and she said the funniest thing. She was like "Well, I kind of figured that." I was like "Really, How?" She just said she knew. She then proceeded to say, "Well, you didnt really have anything in common with Makai. There was one postitive thing though, which anyone can do. The positive thing was that you are a girl and he is a guy." I about died laughing. An eight year old could see it and I couldn't. Wow.

So in between piano, soccer, homework, and ward stuff I have decided to take on another task. I just quit my Tumbling Gym job. I orginally took the position thinking that I would get more hours while the kids were at school but I was only working Saturdays for about 4 hours. I didnt think it was worth my time and Saturday to continue. It was great there but I have decided instead that I am going to try and take some classes. Thats right, I am going back to school. I am still looking at my options but I am hoping to get my teaching certificate and start that process. While I was in college it scared me to pieces to think of being in charge of these kids but I cant think of anthing else better that I would want to do. I love kids. I love what they teach me everyday. So we will see how that goes. I am supposed to get some info soon so wish me luck.

Things are great!! I cant beleive 6 months ago I moved across the US and took a nanny gig. It has been a blessing and I have learned so much. I remember looking for nanny jobs for months and right before I was looking for a different apartment to move into I said to myself, " This is the last one I am going to try." If not I will look for an apartment. Three weeks later I was in Virginia. :)

Its so great to hear that life is treating you well Amanda:) I miss ya and it was so good to see you over the Christmas holiday! Life is a funny thing. You never really know where its gonna lead you, and usually the most most important and best things for you happen suddenly and when you least expect it. I know that from first hand experience:)
