3..2..1..Blast Off!

There is a first time for everything, and I have always thought people who blogged either had incredible things to say or had entirely too much time on their hands. However, the more time I have spent on Pinterest, the more blogs I have read, and the more inspiring neat ideas I have discovered. Because of this I decided I would create my own blog and if nothing else later in life I could look back and see the thousands and thousands of blessings God gives me all the time that are not always remembered. 

First off I have been reminded every day the past couple weeks what an incredible God I serve and how I love that He knows what He is doing and does not count on my brain. At the end of the last school year I was in a slight... ok HUGE panic over who my roommate would be my senior year of college. No big deal, right? Yeah right! When I came to school in August I was honestly dreading being one of six girls in an apartment. That is a lot of estrogen in one place, however, I knew this had to be good or I would be calling mom crying everyday. Little did I know God provided me with the best roommate I could have ever had, and neither of us knew each other before we moved in. In the past few months we've become incredibly close and now in a week I am moving home to live next semester. That being said I could cry everyday knowing I won't have lunch with her everyday anymore, get to tell her my lesson plan ideas before I go teach, show her all my cute ridiculous art projects I make in class, and all the silly things you do with your college roommate. When the door of us being roommates closes I am hoping and praying that God provides sweet Jenna with a roommate that is a hundred times better than myself, not near as loud, and someone who doesn't always want to take a nap. 

This is the wonderful Jenna Kimball.

I also recently finished up teaching in a fifth grade and kindergarten classroom, and although student teaching in the spring means being at the elementary schools by 7:20... I am never even up that early, I am super excited to spend every day with these children for 16 weeks, getting to know them better, teaching them, and hopefully pouring the same love into them that my teachers poured into me. I am excited to see the many blessings ahead especially from the kiddos, they let you know the things you should be grateful for, and also look forward to sharing them with you.
