| My classes are done...
Four finals to go... God is really good...
and I can't believe my first semester down here will be over.

Wow, sure is dusty in here. Shall I tidy up a bit?
Nah, I've got better things to do.

| I see that I haven't posted in almost a month. Well, life happens, and xanga isn't exactly a priority.
At the moment I'm getting over being sick, the house is empty save for Ben and myself, my semester is done, and I don't have to be at work till 3pm. Sounds like a good time for an update.
Work at the moment is really demanding. You'd think Hallmark would be a lovely little place to work, but during the holidays it's insane. Five days a week I'm running from the time I get there till at least 10 minutes after closing. But I can't complain. I love the girls I work with, and my boss is amazing. Besides, I need the hours so I can pay for school this spring.
Speaking of school, I'll be attempting to make myself a little niche at PHC for a semester. I don't like the thought of being that far away from home for that long (I know, I sound like a daddy's girl, and I won't deny that I am), but God's hand is in this so I won't fight.
On November 5th my Grandpa suffered a major stroke and requires complete care. It's such a blessing to live only a little way up the road from them. We can just run to their house through the fields. The amount of time we have to spend at their house might seem like a burden to most, and at times it's difficult, but I'm so glad we're doing it. It's been amazing to see my younger siblings really step up. I know I've had to grow up a little more. One thing I love is praying with Grandpa after putting him to bed. He can't really speak, but I know he loves it. Then I get my goodnight kiss and everything is so worth it.

| We have three more singing dates. One on Thursday (for a banquet) one on Sunday night (an actual concert), and one in November (another banquet). I  singing with my girls! School is fine. (Some interesting things developing...) Puppies are adorable (8 months and they weigh 94, and 114lbs). Work is going well. (more hours then ever) Life is good and God is great!! | | |
| Well, I was accepted to PHC for the fall, and given scholarships...but I'm still at home. And, believe it or not, I'm very happy about it. Some must think I'm insane. PHC is an amazing school, and I say that not naively. I am no starry eyed freshman, and I know some stuff goes on there, though I won't go into specifics. Regardless I still think its a great school, but I have no desire to go there. I can't explain just why...I don't really know.
So instead I'm taking 12 credits from a community college, 3 credits from Liberty University, working part time at Hallmark, and enjoying my family. If all goes well I should have my A.A. in psychology in one year, and my B.A. in two. I've been asked to come interview for an after-school tutorial program at our area high school. I'd have a "support staff" position, which would be prefect. It's a way to get my foot in the door, and get an idea of what public school teaching is like.
You know, it's kind of funny. I used to be so sure that PHC was the place to go to school. It has the rigorous academics, the prestigious name, and a lot of smart kids! I wanted the kudos that would come with graduating from such a school. Now that isn't important to me. I'm just happy being with my family. I do get lonely sometimes, but why would I trade my relationships with my precious siblings and godson for temporary relationships with college kids?
No. I am happy where I am. God is guiding my path, and I'm content to allow Him to do that.
In another vein, the my sister Hannah was crowned the Wyoming County Fair Queen Alternate, the Harford Fair starts Monday, and my mom, sisters, and I are giving a small concert next Sunday at a church in central PA (I'm so excited!). We're also providing the special music for the Wyoming Co. Fair on September 1st. I love singing with my girls!!!
