life goes on.

just so we are all on the same page here, this is my life.

on the 31st of this month, i am taking the TExES test to become certified to teach high school reading and language arts. along with the test, i have to complete 30 hours of observation, 40 hours of online training and 40 hours of face-to-face training (in dallas). once i have completed all of that, i will be eligible to teach school. whoop!

although there was a serious scare, i am still graduating this december! i got everything straightened out with my department and now everything is on-track. so, i will officially be a college graduate on december 11, 2009! yay!

also, i am no longer moving to dallas in december. after much serious consideration, it was deemed that it would be best if i stayed here until kyle and i get married and i get a teaching job in dallas. so, i will be in abilene for another whole 6 months or so...this decision is bittersweet for me and kyle but it is what is for the best.

so since i'm not moving to dallas in december, kyle decided that he would get a place of his own for him and OUR PUPPY! yes, we have a precious little baby named laney. okay, so she may be more like a dog than a puppy, but she is amazing

none-the-less. she is so precious and i can't wait until we all get to live as one happy little family:)

there she is...isn't she precious!! >>

anyway, last weekend we found kyle an amazing little apartment in one day and moved him in the next. it was truly a blessing from God! it was an amazing find--great location, very nice apartment, and a great price. it is perfect for him and laney:)

and i must say that i am sad that i can't be there with them. kyle and i have been together for seven months now..and five of those seven months have been long distance. by the time everything is said and done, we will have been long distance for at least a whole year. an entire year of being apart. ugh. and let me tell you, it is not getting easier. if anything, it's just getting harder. but the good thing is we both know that not neither of us are going anywhere. we are both in it for the long haul. oh man, i love him:)

well, i think that's all for now. but life goes on..so there will be more later for sure! stay tuned!
