Hola folks. It's been quuuuite some time since I've produced a decent post. Lo siento. Life has been a lil' cray-cray! Let's start with the quick updates. 1) I am STILL in cosmetology school...and by "still" I mean I'm not scheduled to graduate until October, and that feels soooo far away for some reason. 2) I'm in the process of changing part-time jobs and becoming a waitress. Woot. 3) I'm still a part of the leadership team for the youth at my church, and yes, I'm LOVING it. So blessed. 4) I'm in the process of planning a road trip to the Grand Canyon! "I'm excited!"=Biggest understatement of the century.
While these past few months have not been what I expected they'd be, I have begun to cherish this season of life because, through it, the Lord has done so many good things in my heart. The Lord brought me into circumstances that I would not have chosen for my self, and has been revealing things to me in ways I don't think I would have seen had I been anywhere else in life. This is good! Huzzah!
And can we just talk about the wedding/baby epidemic right now? Holy cow. So.Many.Weddings...and babies! I'm a pile of mush at weddings. I cry at every single one, every single time. I have the privilege of being in two weddings (can I get an "Amen!" for waterproof mascara?), and I am doing hair for many more. Weddings are beautiful happenings, and I have been blessed to witness and be a part of so many. God knew what He was doing when He established that institution.
In other news, my sibling are home from college, and our house is significantly louder and significantly warmer/brighter by them being here. Yesterday, I witnessed my brother, T.J., chase Bethany out of the house into the street at least two times. I also walked outside yesterday to find my sister, Bethany, walking around with her eyes closed fumbling around to find T.J. and Breanna, who were "hiding" from her and silently laughing. Apparently, T.J. had invented a game (not uncommon around here.) He had made a square boundary inside our driveway. One person was "it" and had to close their eyes and try to tag the other people within this small boundary. Imagine Marco Polo without the Marco Polo. It.Was. Awesome. I quickly discovered that this was a game I just couldn't win, however. I laugh too much....which in turn makes them follow the noise and chase me, which in turn causes me to laugh more. I'm looking forward to spending the summer with these kiddos. They're just great.
And with that, I'm out. Lata' Gatas'.
