Well, it's been a while since I've blogged. I just read a friend's blog that I saw on facebook and decided to get back to mine. Things have changed quite a bit. School's out for summer and I'm nannying. I'm also preparing for my first big move. I've lived in the same area for my entire life but now I'm moving to Virginia with my husband Roger. We are both super excited about the opportunity there. Roger will be the new pastor of a church in Nellysford. It's interesting because I'm excited yet really scared all at the same time. I think I try to focus on the fun and exciting times ahead and not the unknown. I'll be student teaching in a new state, county, district, and all the rest. I'm also not the best history buff and now I have to learn all of Virginia's history. I hope to be mostly learning as I teach my students. I also have to prepare to take the Praxis certification test for Virginia. Wow, that's a lot! I guess this is good therapy. I sigh and take a deep breath. Knowing that I can't do ANY of this in my own strength but only God's. I know He knows the future and He would never give me more than I can handle.
Just to add to everything, yesterday one of the two children I babysit took a really hard fall off his bike. I've never had an accident while babysitting so I was really scared. He busted his face, arms, and left leg on the sidewalk at the bottom of a hill. Thankfully we were near a friend of mine's house so I went there with him and she helped get him all cleaned up. Then I had to take him to an urgent care place because of the huge goose egg on his face under the eye. It was ugly. He turned out to be okay, just really banged up and bruised. Today he looks like he's had a big fight. His eye is almost swollen shot. He's been a tough guy and great patient. I felt so bad about everything, but accidents to happen- especially on bicycles!
