The Grass is Greener Where You Water It

I feel like a broken record when I say this year has been a roller coaster. Luckily, I can report that we are currently at the top! I finally have a job, it's not much, but it is much better than nothing and I get paid during the summer! I feel like my life has been evolving every day. I have a new outlook on my life and those that are in it. I've worked my butt off to get where I am today and I'm only looking for others that are good for me to keep around. I've had some people do me wrong this year and some come through for me when I least expected it. I'm so thankful for the people in my life that have been so great to me.

I've been blessed with an amazing family and was blessed again by marrying into a great family. Johnny's family has become way more than just family, they are my friends. I'll stay married to him just to keep them :o) ! I'm excited that he'll get to meet some of my great aunts and uncle this weekend. I know I look like my mother, but it's also nice to hear that I look like my grandmother, Geneva, that I never had to the chance to meet in person.

Today some students I had last year brought me a cupcake. They are twins and today is their birthday. I love seeing my kids from last year. After school their teacher told me that they asked if they could find me and give me a cupcake....it just made my day. I absolutely love what I do. I know I picked the right profession, unfortunately I just don't have my own classroom yet. God's plan is far better than mine though.

I titled this blog "The grass is greener where you water it" because it has so much meaning to me. If you put work and effort into something, you're going to get the desired results. This has to do with my marriage, my relationship with God, my job and school, with my family and with friendships. If people aren't willing to make it work, then it's not going to and I'm not responsible for your lack of effort.

From our party celebrating me getting a job!
