Started something new! For those of you who know me, know I love taking pictures, so as a result I started a little business of my own called Scenes N Things Photography! I have always dreamed of being able to one day decorate my own house with photography, and I thought some other people may also want to use real photography to decorate there house. Now you can take advantage of that by going to ScenesNThingsPhotography.blogspot.com to check it out!

BUSY BUSY

Well have been looking for a REAL job....on vacation...and working at Cato's and Weight Watchers!!! Still haven't found a teaching job...still looking...quite a bummer especially since I just completed 4 years of college to get a degree that I can't even find a job for now...still hoping and praying for something to come along!!! Went to Gatlinburg with BJ we rented a cabin up there and had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!! What an amazing place and time we had!!! I MISS IT!!! Work at Cato's and Weight Watchers is still trudging along!!!

NEW JOB!!!

Well the church I intervewed with for the teaching position...filled it but not with me...and I am still waiting to hear back from the charter school!! Hoping to find a teaching job especially since I have been in school for four years working toward that degree!! But, I got the job with weight watchers, which just thrills me to death because I really really wanted this job!! I start training thursday night, at the boiling springs location. I absolutely cannot wait!! I will start out training as a receptionist because you have to know how to do that before you become a leader...it is a 4-6 week span of training and then you have to start training as a leader if that is what you want to do!!! I hope to one day become a leader at Weight Watchers, but that will all come with time, going to take it all one step at a time!! I was so excited when I received the phone call because this has been a long time coming and waited for, for a long time!! The centers are becoming computerized but we all still have to be paper trained in case of emergencies when the computers are down or when the power is out and then we will be trained on the computers!! I am so excited about starting...I cannot wait!!! I will continue working with weight watchers even when I do get a teaching job!! If I do not get a teaching job for this coming year I plan to eventually go full time with weight watchers, where I will be scheduled for certain days that are consistent week to week and to sub on the days I am off at weight watchers....that way I can get my foot in the door at some schools for the next year...and when I get my teaching job I will go part time with weight watchers!!! I believe this will be an outstanding job to have, the atmosphere always seems friendly and welcoming!! It will also be so much FUN!!! So ready to start!!!

CHANGES and NEW THINGS to COME

Well I have had a couple of interviews with schools and waiting to hear back from them. Praying that they went well and that I will hear back. I also have an interview coming up June 11th with weight watchers!! This I am very excited about because it is something that is very near to my heart seeing that just this past december I hit my weight goal from doing weight watchers and am in a size four...a size I have NEVER seen before until now and NEVER though I would even starting weight watchers I was expecting an 8 maybe boy did I surprise myself...quite amazing really. With all this going on I get stressed and bogged down worrying as I wait to hear back and know which way my life will go next! I know it is all in God's hands and He is in control, but at the same time being human I still worry and wish I knew. It is hard to know that this could be the start of my career or that I may be waiting another year for it to come to me. I know either way, whatever happens it is in God's hands and what is meant to be will happen, but I am not much of a person who likes to wait!! SO keep me in your prayers. On the other hand on the 23rd and this month me and BJ will be together for a year and a half which floors me, because this is the longest relationship I have ever been in, I believe he is the one for me and hope he feels the same!! I know there are some out there that NEVER thought it would be possible for me to be "serious" about anyone and that I would always date someone for a few months and then break it off because of an uneasy feeling that I get!! BUT believe it or NOT I have made it and boy has it paid off!! And Honestly i think the reason none of those others worked or that I got that feeling is because it just simply was not meant to be!! Anyone that knows me knows that I have always said what is meant to be will happen!!! I am the luckiest girl alive and wow am I glad that waited it out because I have met the man of my dreams!!! It is hard for me to believe that me and BJ have been together this long...it feels like just yesterday we met and started dating!!! I have so much fun with him...from fishing...yes me fishing, I LOVE it it is so much fun...going new places we have never been, going hiking, going to see a movie, going to downtown greenville to walk around and spend the day together, and so much more!!! No matter what we are doing together is always fun...at least I think so!!! :-D Well I just wanted to bring an update...because I am trying to blog more!!!

Super Long Time...and SO much has happened!!!

Well...where to start?...I have finished my student teaching placement...wow what an experience...I had a BLAST and am very blessed...I learned so much and had a GREAT class...not the end though I still plan to go back and see them...through attending a zoo field trip with them, their end of the year program, and for field day! I have finished everything school related and graduate on Tuesday. It is so hard for me to believe that four years ago I started college and now in less than 4 days I will be graduated! It seems like just yesterday I graduated high school and was just starting college. I will have a degree in Early Childhood Education and now it is facing the battle of finding a job teaching...with the job market we have today. Me and BJ are GREAT...we have been together for a year four months and eight days! Hard for me to believe but I wouldn't trade our relationship for the world...I LOVE him with all my heart and soul! He is honestly the BEST thing that has and could have ever happened to me!! He stays by my side through it all...he is always there for me no matter what!! I have lost 37 pounds on weight watchers and I feel GREAT...it is the best thing I have ever done!!! I went from a size 12 to a size 4...its amazing!! I am loving the way I feel...its fabulous!!!

Back again...after a long time of not blogging!!! Its been busy!! Still working at Ron's waiting tables and at Sassy's Tan and Style!! Me and BJ just celebrated our five months of dating on Friday :-D!!! He is the GREATEST guy ever and he means the world to me!!! He has my heart!! I am the luckiest girl ever to have such a GREAT guy!!! Yea I know some of you are probably thinking wow how has he put up with her that long ;-) lol who knows but I sure am glad he has :-D!!! I start summer school a week from tomorrow on June 2nd and will be there from 9-3 45 mon-thurs taking Chemistry!!! What fun ha yea right!!! But its ok because I know some people i am taking that class with so it won't be so bad!!! Then in July I am taking Spanish 1 mon- thurs 11 15- 1 so that isn't quite as bad!!! Went swimming today with BJ, my sis, drew and mikayla...we had so much fun!!! Well swimming wore me out today so Im off to bed!!!

It has been a while and LOTS has happened!!!!

Passed this semester of classes.....and got into the teaching program and will be starting classes in the education department on Jan. 14th!!! I am excited!! I also have started dating a guy that I work with and he is a great guy!!! He is respectful, very sweet, and just the best!!! I turned another year old im now the big 21 and I have heard its all downhill from here...but I believe thats just some peoples state of mind!!! My Christmas and New Years was GREAT...busy but GREAT..spent time with those that I love the most and the ones that are the funnest to be with and thats what it is all about!!!! I also just got back from Gatlinburg with my church which was a lot of fun!!! We had some pretty interesting times their and we learned a lot!!! Saw lots of GREAT bands in concert like Toby Mac, Chris Tomlin, Skillet, and Sanctus Real!! So now its just home and work and getting ready for school to start back on the 14th!! Got to get some things ready before starting back on the 14th but for the most part I will be ready to go when it starts!!! I know how I get and with me starting something new I will be nervous at the beginning but it will all work out!!!

WHAT WOULD I BE.........

I am really starting to enjoy these meme things......My sister tagged me in this one THANKS sis!!!
Here is how to play:If you had the opportunity to do a 1-year internship in a company or field completely unrelated to your current career or specialty, what would be your top 5 choices?
1. Wedding Planner~ I think this would be a very neat job to hold, not only to be able to have part in the most beautiful day in most people's lives but also just to be able to have part in designing things and what not I think I would enjoy that!!!
2. Massage Therapist~ I really enjoy giving back massages to people I don't know what it is but I enjoy doing that and I think that would be a neat job to have as well.
3. Real Estate Agent~ this has been something I have thought is so neat its WORK by all means but ever since i was younger I have enjoyed lookin at houses in the real estate books and along with playing school and pretending to be a teacher which is what I am goin to school to do now, I use to pretend to be the real estate agent selling houses and showing people around.
4. Photographer~ for kids I think I would enjoy working at a kids portrait studio and helping caprute their smiles and those special moments!
5. Fashion Designer~ designing clothes and outfits would be my other choice....also when i was younger I use to have notebooks and I would draw outfits that I thought at the time looked cute and would color them needless to say now WOW not such cute ideas lol but I think that would be a neat career to be in!
People I will tag..... Kim
the gal herself
Trish
