Love. That's a strong word.

Of course when we hear this phrase we automatically think of that guy that we have dated forever and that we want to marry. Well, guess what? He's not here yet and that's ok because God is making him perfect. I cannot wait until the day that I meet him and everything is right with the world because of him. He's just finding himself and the same applies to me.

Now. What I am looking for in a guy would be:

• Trustworthy, Honest, and Respectful
• Loves God, Loves People.
• Loves kids and wants them one day.
• Has an education and knows what he wants to do with his life.
• Has a great sense of humor.
• Loves me and wants to protect me.
• Just an all around great guy.

I mean, is that so much to ask for!? Hehe.

Now for a favorite song of mine. :)

Sorry I couldn't get it to do right.

Goodnight readers!

BC: Day 2

Introduce and Explain your blog title

Well.. the name of my blog is He's not finished with me yet. :)

I went to Montana the summer of my sophomore year in college to be a summer missionary. One of the greatest experiences in my entire life. YES! It was. I did summer camps, VBS, and worked with kids all day every day. Loved it was an understatement. One week we did a day camp at this certain church and Brandon Heath had just written this new song, He's not finished with me yet. We were watching a slide show of our productive week and one of the moms had chosen this song for the slide show. It was awesome and I loved the message behind the song.

I already had the blog but when I got home that summer I changed the BLOG name to that. I haven't changed it, even though right now it says Live Life Loud. I believe those can be combined. I need to show others here in Oxford, Ms to Kenya Africa(hopefully) that our God is bigger than anything in this world and he is always looking out for our best interests. :) Isn't that a comforting thought?

God, I am so thankful that you are no way near through with me yet and I pray that every day of my life that you shine through!

Work tomorrow, then a nice little 4 day weekend.

God, thank you for this Fall break. It couldn't come at a better time. :)

I had a great weekend and we enjoyed the game Saturday. Hotty Toddy Rebs.

(It was a close one though. Whew!)

Weekend in Pictures:

Lane and I at the game. Hotty Toddy.

This boy is my pride and joy at LLES. I've known him since the day he was born! :)

Stressed?

Hello friends.

This week has been purely crazy. School WILL be the death of me. I am honestly so ready to be done but.. i am also very sad that I am almost a "real" grown up! School is just all over the place and it stressed me out.

Ok enough complaining.

Fall is here and I couldn't be more happy. I have always loved cooler weather, pumpkins, the changing colors of the leaves, and football games in the cold! :)

( aren't these adorable?)

(scrapbook paper pumpkins)

I've made one of these toliet paper pumpkins and I LOVE it. I can not wait for fall break to make some more! :)

I mean, I spend a lot of time playing on blogs and reading about all these cute ideas. Now, I need to make some of them. Thanks ladies and gentlemen for the ideas! :)

This is where I will be tomorrow. Hotty Toddy. Beat Kentucky!

I've also though about a lot of things this week.

• How is it possible that I will be a college graduate in 8 months?
• Where is my prince charming? (God's preparing him is what I choose to believe.)
• and... I love this quote
• "If you are looking for the love of your life, STOP; You'll find him when you start doing things that you love!
  
  

Sorry for the rambeling! :)

Happy Weekend!

Adventures in Student Teaching.

Welcome to the world of little kids!

• Miss Wahren, Did you bring your lunch? Because teachers have to eat too. :)

• Are you going to be at our school tomorrow. (No, I have classes tomorrow but I'll be here Monday).. Oh, yeah. She's doing an AB pattern. Here one day, other school the next.


• 
  I love that kid. BTW: I was at the hospital the day he was born and I am soo excited to be his "student teacher".

• These kids are amazing and are giving me a great experience this year!

Have I mentioned that I am sooo ready for fall?

For real.. pumpkins, candles, and all that jazz. Come on really!

My "grandmother, MOM" had a cornea transplant Tuesday and is doing amazingly well. She found out that she was the 1st on the list on her 85th Birthday, Friday. She has been on the waiting list for 6 months and was soo excited to have this done.

She has been struggling with her eyes and I just know that this is going to be exactly what makes her happy and keeps her young.

We went to the game Saturday, oh my! We lost again...

but remember we may loose but we never loose a party.

Then... Daddy's, Adam's, and Mom's Birthday party. It was fun. I was exhausted! :)

Until Next Time...

Happy Birthday, Mom.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Let me just tell you why I love this lady so much.

• She loves others more than herself.


• She has constantly been there for me my entire life.


• She took the best care of me when I was little and always picked me up from school when I was "sick".


• She has cared for her sisters while each of them were in Nursing Homes.


• She is the BEST cook in the entire world.


• She took care of my grandaddy while he was sick with cancer and was a trooper when he went to be with our Lord.


• She is stubborn just as I am.


• I call her "Marjorie"


• She hates her middle name and I am quick to bring it up.


• She loves her family dearly.


• She is exactly what I want to be when I get older.


• I'm going to stop because this could last for days... :)
