Hola mi amigos!
It has been a few days since I posted last, so I thought I would catch up on a few things! The end of Spring 2011 semester was very bittersweet. This was the first time, since I lived in the dorms,
to not have to move out once finals were completed. It was such a strange feeling helping a few of my friends
move out knowing I will be in Florence all Summer. I am excited about my summer plans, really! The Lord really blessed me with an excellent second job and I will also be attending school, via online nonetheless. So, since my summer is going to be CRAZY hectic with jobs, school, VBS, vacation, dinner nights, Bible studies, church, mission work, and working out, I thought I would spend a few days in my homeland before all this craziness begins!
Home is defined as a person's country, city, etc., esp viewed as a birthplace, a residence during one's early years, or a place dear to one. My home, or my growing up place, is in a small town in north Alabama. I am proud of my little town, not much there; however, it is where my fondest memories have taken place. I consider myself very close to my family, and even though I love living on my own, spending a few days with them has been much needed! But since being "home", I have rummaged through my old memory box, a box full of pictures, letters, and items from early childhood until now. It is so cool to relieve some wonderful times in my life; times when I didn't care what the world was wanting me to be, who I wanted to become, or what others expected of me. But a time when I was a kid, simply being a kid not caring about nothing else but having fun!
Some like to call me their "mom away from home". Which basically, I am, haha! I took my personality test thingy the other day and it said I am an ESFJ; meaning I am an extravagant, feeling! I am serious y'all, this test hit the nail on the head. Most people with this personality type are control freaks, mom figures, care takers, sensitive at heart, and good advice givers. I feel like I fit these roles, honestly. But I feel responsible for so many people; friends, family, peers, I feel as if its my responsibility to "take them under my wing". Ugh I don't know where I am going with that thought but mainly, if you need me, EVER, I am here. To bake cookies, dinner, hug you when you cry, walk with you when you need to vent, scream and be mad when you are furious, or tell you like it is only to better yourself!
I've rambled enough, I am not even sure if any of this blog makes a lick of sense, but oh well! I am anxiously returning to my "new home" mid-week, aka Florence, and I am ready to start my crazy/busy/fast pact/no free time summer! To tell you a secret, I dislike summer breaks, always have. I love school (yes I am a nerd and embrace it) and I literally get giddy thinking about Fall semester getting here. Fall means new friends, new classes, Saturday football games, fun leaf piles, and cooler air! AHH!! See I am already excited!!!
