Dear Tony Harper... You are phenomenal. Thank you for being so supportive, loving, caring, patient, and helpful this semester. No one will ever understand how busy we truly are during this phase of our marriage until they walk a day in our shoes. I adore those 30 minutes I get with you over dinner. I am praying school slacks within the coming months and we will have many more minutes together! If not, I am simply happy to be in your presence and not 5 hours away. You make this journey through love so worthwhile despite the mountains we are learning to climb.
Dear blog friends and readers... I am so behind on contacting each of you who left comments on Tuesday's post. Please forgive me? Check your emails this weekend! Regardless of my lack of reply responses, thank you so much for your feedback this week. It makes my day to receive your comments! I am overwhelmed at the responses of emails I received from women who are in the same boat as me. I plan to write an additional post on the "friend" subject, how to overcome it, the different stages we go through in life, ect., at a later date. For now, just know that you are not in this battle alone. There is a reason, time, and place for everything according to the Lord. I know that He has our paths paved perfectly for His glory. We must be patient and praise Him all the days long. Right now I am sending you a big 'ole virtual air hug. Do you feel it? :) Also, for those of you who emailed me with questions about the Organize To Thrive post, I am planning to go in depth in another post regarding my planner and other options of accommodating family/business planners out there in the coming week! Y'all are amazing! I love you, am honored you read my blog, and I cannot thank you all enough for bringing such joy into my life. I hope you will stay tuned in :)
Dear UAB... This week you have completely drained me and all of my classmates of every ounce of life we thought we had. Maybe we can try and be friends again next week? I dare someone tell me that becoming an Educator is easy as pie. I swear I just might rip you a new one. Then, I would tell you to transfer to the TEP Program at UAB. #TheStruggle has never ever never been more real until this semester. Also, can you please work on getting me home BEFORE 8:00PM next week? I would love to eat a real meal instead of alternating frozen pizza and waffles. My husband may decide to divorce me if I do not cook again until May.
Dear Little Friends at each of my 4 placements... I love love love love love that I will be a future educator very soon. Each of you make my heart SO SO happy! You all make my 80 hours of observation so much more worth each and every single visit. Thank you for teaching me things that I would never learn in a college classroom. In the near future I hope to continue to teach you to throw up in the trash can instead of the middle of our center. Also, I hope to teach you that eating/sharing your bloggers is dirty and passes germs from one friend to the next. Oh, and lying about hurting another friend's feelings is not funny. Once we all learn those common traits, we may learn something academic. :) Who knew that being a teacher would also require you to be a Mother so early in life? Best. Birth. Control. Ever.
Dear family in Louisiana... It is possible that I may sneak one of these puppies home with me while on our next visit. I am extremely dog deprived these days. I have yet to train my husband to lick my face when I walk through the door. Something about those puppy love kisses rock my world. (The first thing I would love to do once we become homeowners is adopt a pet. My family recently adopted two Chihuahuas and I have fallen head over heels in love with them!) Having a puppy is pure joy like none other. Animals truly are man's best friend!
Dear Alabama bloggers... Since I became part of the Bigs/Littles blogging network I have been able to "meet" many amazing bloggers. Specifically, I have since learned that there are many awesome bloggers in driving distance of me! YAY! I get to meet some of the beautiful Alabama bloggers this weekend! This visit will include bloggers like Lauren @ Simply Free, Clara @ Walking In The Light, Ashley @ Wanna Be Green, and many others! I am ecstatic just thinking about it! Pictures to come soon!!! :)
Dear Jesus... I love our relationship. I am thankful for a relationship and not a religion. Thank you for grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness on my worst of days. Thank you for sending such encouraging social media friends my way this week, too. I am especially grateful for those sweet people who have recently touched my little world.
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will be back Monday morning bright and early! Thanks for reading and making this space so rewarding for me. I adore your commitment and love in my little corner of the Internet.
As always, until next time- Happy Blogging!
