Hectic Weekend!!!
Had a good weekend overall...
Graduation took place on Friday at the Field House at 7 pm on the EOSC campus. Was a humid and sunny evening. Wore to blasted many clothes for it under my gown. But I looked good dag nab it!!! Took tow hours and we were done. Got to walk across the stage and get my cover that will probably never hold the degree that I am going to get in the mail about August 1st. That is gonna hang proud and loud on my wall!!! Worked hard for it and am going to show it off. Oh yeah, I DIDN'T TRIP...very important to me...dreamed that I was going to do that. Pretty typical kind of dream don't ya think?!?! Hugged a whole bunch of people that are now important to me as we all went through it together!!! That means my fellow graduates and the staff and instructors!!! I will miss EOSC, but am glad to be moving on already.
Ya know, when I started going to school I had such fear about not making it!!! When I got through there and moved up to a four year college I did not have that same fear. Well yes I did just not to the same degree. But after a semester here at NSU I am overcoming and I know just where I get the strength to do that and it is from my Heavenly Father, GOD. He has brought me to the place that I am at. He put me in the house I am in and the church family that I am privileged to be a part of. They all encourage me and help me to keep going!!!
Mother's Day was hard. When the mother's were asked to stand, I wanted to run. But Darinda, my Ren, practically pulled me up. I know that I am a mom even though Jenni is living with her biological, real, mother. I raised her for a good portion of her life and I hope that the things I tried to teach her will bear fruit and make her life fuller. I love her still and always will and I will always be one of her moms. We went through Proverbs 31 verse 10 on. About a virtuos woman. What a wonderful, wonderful message. Kevin assigned a homework assignment to us. We had to look through the verses and pick which ones pertained to our mothers. I liked that homework assignment. I really made me think aboutmy moms. I won't go into all of it here, but I think that I gained a new appreciation for the women that molded me and and helped me become the woman that I am today!!!
Finals week is here and I have one down and 4 to go!!! My next one is at 11 today and I am as ready as I will be. Then I will go have luch and fill up the two hours until my last class of today. Gotta find Summer and see if we are still going to Chili's for lunch. We will see. Need to make sure that I find her on facebook if I haven't already. Need to keep in contact as she is a nice young woman and I treasure my friends (even though I am horrible about keeping in contact!!!).
Well, better stp this book for now and check a few other things!! Everyone have a great day and enjoy the sunshine (if it is sunny where you are at...if not then enjoy the weather for what it is)
