Life has many changes.

Since my last post, there have been many changes. I had a really hard semester at Baptist which caused me to fail out of the program. I cried for weeks and begged Andrew to give me answers with what he wanted me to do about school. Deep down, I could tell he was upset and sad right along with me. All of this happened right before Christmas. All I could think about was Merry Christmas?? How could I be happy when my life was falling around me?? So, I cried a lot. I called and talked to a few friends and felt that God was leading me back to teaching. I love kids and teaching was what I wanted to do before I changed my major to nursing. It has been somewhat easy to go back to finish my degree. I want a degree. So many people have told me just quit and have a baby. I had way too many college credits to let them go to waste. I want to finish something in my life. Andrew has been very supportive of me changing my major back. I have also enjoyed having more time to spend with my husband. While in nursing school, I felt like it was so fast pace and I was always studying. I barely had time to even see my family, whether it was for them to come here or for us to go there. I hated the strain it was putting on me and my marriage. I went back to Ole Miss last week, and I love it. I cannot wait to go back into the classroom. I have always wanted to teach middle school and sponsor Jr. Beta, a community service club for students who do well in the classroom. I loved Beta in high school and loved being a state officer my senior year. All I could tell myself during all of this, is that every thing happens for a reason and I may not ever know the reason why this happened. Andrew has been applying for some jobs that would require us to move. We both are excited about this put are trying to not get our hopes up. He has applied for many jobs over the last few months but they all come back and say that he is in not so many words to young for the position or they are not as ready as they thought they were to fill the position. He and I both are in the waiting game to see what God has next for us.
