so I have come to find that I am a terrible blogger, but I honestly have nothing to talk about! I try to save up all the cool stuff and put it in one post, but then I end up forgetting most of what I want to say...here are some things I remember!

-Sabrina and I are the preschool teachers for Wednesday night church! last week we had 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). this week we just had the three girls. we're hoping that more kids come! this experience has shown me that I should probably never be a school teacher due to the fact that I want to buy anything and everything for our classroom: scissors, crayons, attendance chart, stickers (LOTS of stickers!), books, etc. Some things I had lying around the house, other things I bought at the dollar tree and Latta's on fourth avenue. I'm praying that God will bless our class and bring more children to learn about Jesus!!!

-Matt and I had a fight last week. it wasn't pretty, but we're doing a lot better and growing from that experience. that's all im going to say about that.

-this weekend, my family and I will be heading to Cincinnati, OH to watch my cousin, Bryce, get married. so exciting!! i love weddings!!!

-I have applied for a couple jobs. I first applied to Shoe Carnival at the mall, thenI applied to Kohl's, then I applied to the Disney Store at the mall. this was all about 3-4 weeks ago. Last week I had an interview with the manager of the disney store (the only call i received to have an interview) and I thought it went pretty well. they said that they would try to call everyone that would get a second interview with the district manager by monday (Sept. 27th). when i didnt get a call, i assumed that they didn't want to hire me, so I applied to Home Depot. now, i know that may sound a little out of character for me, considering i have absolutely NO handiwork experience whatsoever, but sabrina suggested that I apply to be a cashier (which is the job im looking for!). so tuesday rolls around, i still havent heard from the disney store, so i fill out the home depot application online. wedneday morning, i'm looking in my mirror in my room getting ready, and im thinking about how i didnt get a call back from the disney store. i wasnt necessarily upset, but it made me a teensy weensy bit sad that I "wasnt good enough" to work for my most favorite store in the entire mall! (well maybe not my absolute favorite, but it ranks pretty high due to the fact that i want to LIVE in disney world!) anywho! i go to pick up trevor from the school bus (turns out, he was already at his friends house), and my phone rings. unknown number. i answer, and its THE DISNEY STORE!!!!!! they want me to come in for a second interview, but I will probably end up having a phone interview because of my hectic school schedule on thursdays! so now i am in the dilemma. which to choose: home depot (well, they kind of have to call me first) or the disney store? i need some help/advice!!!!!!!

-i have cleaned out my room and gotten rid of a TON of stuff. if anyone really knows me, i hate just throwing things away unless i for sure know that it belongs in the garbage. I am a pack rat, not a hoarder (mom!)...I do like to keep things from my childhood, but i have learned to let things go. I donated a LOT of my old stuffed animals that were just sitting and collecting dust above my TV (I of course kept all of my Tiggers!!!), I cleaned out both of my closets and rearranged things so I have more space in my room, and I donated a lot of books (about 30-40) to Empire Bookstore. now, the cool thing about donating my books there, is that they give you store credit or cash for your unwanted books...and guess how much store credit i got for all of my books? drum roll please................$90!!!!!!!! yes, you read that correctly!!! $90! and i can spend that on ANYTHING in the store: books, magazines, marshall stuff, wrapping paper, greeting cards, you name it! if they have it in the store, you can use your store credit on it! i went today because trevor and i had cleaned out his bookcase and he had about 20-30 books he wanted to get rid of, so we took them down there last week. he ended up getting about $43 in store credit, but he wanted the cash instead, so we went down to pick up his earnings. he ended up getting $26. I looked around a bit, and bought 3 greeting cards (2 birthday and 1 bridal shower), marshall tattoos for your face, green and white striped knee socks, 3 books (1 touch-and-feel for tristan and 2 books for mine and sabrina's preschool class), and 1 magnet for around $32! thank goodness for my store credit!!!

-so if you havent heard yet, matt's family invited me to go on vacation with them over spring to........HONOLULU, HAWAII!!!!!! i am SO excited!! matt and I will be staying for 6 days, and his parents will be staying for about 2 weeks. i have been saving up for about a month now (babysitting is GREAT!!). so far i have $120 saved that i WILL NOT SPEND unless it is an absolute emergency (this is also why i want to get a job - to have more money for my trip!). I never dreamed that i would get the chance to go to hawaii!! yayyyy

well this post is EXTREMELY long. i will try not to go so long without posting again! sabrina, hold me to this: i will try to blog at LEAST once a week. i will FIND things to talk about!

God is so GOOD!
