Randomness At It's Best

Hello friends. I come to you, once again, from the sweet land of Huntsvegas! (A.K.A. Huntsville!)

I am back this week and part of next for student teaching orientation. Is it bad that only after the second day my LONG legs already hurt from sitting SOOOOO much?!?!! I love it. Yesterday was long, very long. We had orientation from 8 - 4. It wouldn't be that bad, but y'all, we sit and listen, sit and listen, and if we haven't sat long enough, we sit a little more and listen a little more. The worst part is when my eyelids get so heavy I can barely keep them open. I hate that feeling, but it has happened sooo much in the past 2 days.

Thankfully, today started our VERY FAST class. I've never had a real class last only one week. It's a nice feeling that in one week I will have no more undergrad classes the rest of my life. Oh, the sweet joy that wells in my heart! And, it's only from 8 - 12 noon. Not bad.

So, I'm here, enjoying the last of my apartment and packing it up. It's kind of weird, but I know that student teaching at home will be the best thing and I am thrilled to have the privilege to be back at my old school. I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories for you folks.

So, I told you this would be random, so here it is:

1) I just bought Celene Dion's "Taking Chances" off iTunes. I love that song.

2) I went to the grocery store last night and bought the most random things for this week. It's so hard to buy grocery's for only one week. Knowing you will need them, but knowing you'll only be here one week.

3) I had to buy 3 books for my one week class. Ridiculous.

4) I have a bag of M&M's and chocolate that is sitting next to me. My self-control was thrown out the window. Chocolate is amazing.

5) It is SO flippen' humid outside. Where did winter go?! Oh yeah, it's supposed to be 66 degrees tomorrow. We love winter in Houston.

6) Tonight One Tree Hill comes on. It's all new and is now taking place "5 years later!" Is it bad that I love that show?!

7) Tonight, my heart is sad, because even though I now officially live in Houston. I still have to miss bible study...the first night of Breaking Free tonight. My heart is undeniably sad. It's everything in me not to drive down there and drive right back. I will refrain, though. The weather here isn't too pretty.

8) Going with #7, more than anything this semester, I am excited about Breaking Free. It is one of the many studies I have not yet done. After 3 1/2 years of no Beth, I am excited to begin the journey again. And what a journey it will be! I absolutely CANNOT wait to see what the Lord has in store for me through this study. I know it is nothing less than amazing! And on top of that, I get to meet some siestas! Oh, the happiness it brings me. I love me some Houston girls.

With all of that said, since it's raining outside, I think I may go lay my sweet little head down. Naps are a wonderful, wonderful thing. Amen?! :)

Love to all of you!

P.S. Oh, and I forgot to tell you thank you to all of you that have ordered some plates. It excites me to be able to make them for y'all! So far the mini-business is a joy.
