Hey everyone, long time no blog. I seriously am the WORST blogger. I get on this site everyday and read other people's blogs, but never write my own. So here goes. Sooo much has been happening and soo many changes have happened I don't even know where to start. First off, I decided to go back to school. I took a couple (about 2) years off, because I went to Ecuador in 2011 and it was very difficult to go back to school once you leave. But I sat myself down and self evaluated and decided that I need an education, despite my amazing and well paying job I had at the time. So I quit that job, well demoted myself for lack of a better term, and found a new more flexible job. One that allowed me to go to school as well as work. I found a nanny job online and it was posted by a single dad with two kids. I usually stayed away from single dad posts, just because that was weird and I didn't want to put myself in an uncomfortable circumstance. But once I read this post, I had such a good feeling about it so I applied and eventually go the job. The kids are AMAZING!!! I love them soo much, there is Kahlen, she is 5 and then there is Logan, he is 3. They are typical active kids and they keep me busy and on my toes. The reason they needed a nanny was because their mother passed away from Leukimia and Dad had to work. It is a very sad and heartfelt story, and the kids are definately affected by the loss. They have a lot of emotional complications, especially Kahlen. I have learned to be very patient and more compassionate. Everything we do is a process and she needs a lot of reassurance. She is one of the most LOVING and sweet little girls I will ever meet. Logan is a hoot, typical 3 year old boy; loves to run, play, and ask a lot of questions. HAHA He keeps me very entertained, and has given me many opportunities to teach. I seriously love them to death and all the days I am not with them, I miss them terribly and wish I were with them.
The job, although rewarding and fun, takes up a lot of my free time, so my social life has dwindled. I don't get out of the house much on my days off, because I am either way too tired and exhausted or I have a bunch of homework to do, another perk to going back to school. Being back in school has been a little rough, but so far I enjoy it for the most part. I am attending two different community colleges, Golden West and OCC. I am doing my general ed at Golden West and I am doing the child development program at OCC. I hope to become a preschool teacher, and work with young children. With the little time that I have, I usually spend it with my boyfriend, Todd. He seriously is amazing! I LOVE being around him and he makes me soo happy. Sometimes it's pretty frustrating, because we both have insanely busy schedules so it get's hard to spend quality time together. The little time we do get we are doing homework together, or just chilling at home because we are both so drained. But things will eventually get better, and we are just getting all our business out now so later we have all the time in the world for each other. I am seriously crazy about him and i think about him constantly. I still get butterflies around him and he brings out the best of me. Yes we have our ups and downs and by no means are we perfect, but he brings me back to reality and I bring out the silly in him. I know this is super cliche but we essentially complete each other. HAHA We are taking our time and in no rush to get married. It's kind of annoying because since we have been dating for quite a while now EVERYONE asks when we are getting married. We are just a chill couple and we are taking things slow, eternity is a long time you know?! Although I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else except him. Our time will come, and it's just not right now.
Anyways, that'a basically all that has been happening with me lately....pretty exotic right?! NOT, but that's life and I'm just doing the basics of life: work, school, relationships.
Other than I just bombed my math test, my Monday has been going GREAT!!!
Happy MONDAY everyone!!!! xoxoxoxo
