My First Post

So since this is my first post, I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I am a sophomore in College where I'm getting my degree in Human Development and a minor (actually a licensure) in Elementary Education. I dream to be a fifth grade teacher and eventually a principal. Right now I am a nanny for a couple families and I really enjoy it. It is nice to have some control over the times I work and what I am paid. What can I say, I just love kids.

I can truly say that I have the life I've always wanted:

I will eventually marry the perfect guy, whom I've been with for the past 3.5 years. We're perfect together - we share all the same likes and dislikes, and we even look similar. We get asked often if we're "boyfriend and girlfriend" or "brother and sister" - Weird but it makes us laugh every time. In June of 2007, we received our "baby." A yellow lab "baby" that is. Caia was our best buddy, she went everywhere with us and was our third in our "Three Amigos". She was diagnosed with Leukemia in May of 2009 and passed on July 18, 2009. I can't believe she is no longer with us. She was such a vital part in our lives and relationship in only the 2 years we got with her and I am still very emotional about it. (I'm sure you'll real MUCH more about this as I sort out my feelings)

I have an amazing family too. I have 2 amazing parents, whom do everything for us. My parents are such amazing people and have become more of "friends" than parents as I grow (Which I am so thankful for)

The Us (in that previous sentence) = My sister and I. My sister and I have a love/hate relationship, which has recently sided heavily on the love side. She is such a strong person and always has been. Even though she's 18 months younger than I, she is so much different and I love that. We are on the same campus and this semester we are going on the same days - Yay!

It's pretty evident that I love my life and everyday throws new opportunities - its those decisions that we make that makes the most out of each one.
