New - I went through a drive through today, order my food and went to pay and realized I did not have my card on me. This was a new and hopefully a feeling I never have to fell again.
New - I bought my first real "teacher" outfit today. Thank you old navy for 20 dollar pants!
New - My parents have bought a dog since the last time I was home. i like animals. I use the word like loosely because to be honest I don't like animals, but I can put on a brave face if I need. I don't not like this dog at all. I hope we get to be friends, otherwise living here will be increasingly hard.

New - I can sew pillows. You wont see them until I take you on the tour de 5th grade through my classroom. But trust that with the help of my grandmother I can make some good looking pillows.
New - I still can not spell I just typed pillow with b and thought it looked good for a long time. Not ok. These kids are never going to learn from me if I can not spell. where is Jacob when I need him.
New - I got called a hero today. The family and I were at dinner with some friends, in which me and my dad where just talking like always and the lady turned to me and said "you are my hero, I have never met anyone who can keep up with your dad like that." I got really excited and then nervous all at the same time, i think it was a good thing.

New must begin and so I choose now to talk about it.
I once was reading a book and in the book a man talked about a friend, the friend said something to the effect of this...
I write on posted-notes things that happen every day because we are living a great adventure and things should happen to us everyday or else we may just be wasting away our days that have been given to us.
Well this quote-ish (because lets ne honest I did alot of paraphrasing in that there quote) has really been on my heart alot lately...I have 14 more days until the newness of this Dallas life hits me square in the face and I am little nervous yet greatly excited.
So in that means there come a new blog. I have written on here a few times but nothing of greatness, but to be honest I don't know if greatness will ever be on here but today starts something new!
My blog about newness! It will look something like the following.
New - Homemade pizza with my 10 year sister and her friend. Got to love getting your hands dirty in oil and tomato sauce with some 5th graders
New - Piling: WHAT is this...I have lived in the NW for 2 year my skin has not seen this much sun in a while and here I am living in the midst of piling arms and legs...GROWS
New - I bought a calender today, one that will lead me into this new school year and last through the end. lets be honest I will grateful if I use it till Dec with everything written in it. Ill let you know how that goes.
Today brought some new lets see what tomorrow holds

Words from the old man...my dad!
We hold firecrackers in our hands, they explode every sunday and when we meet with the Lord...Yet we live unchanged by the explostion. How does this happen?
I have longed to sit here and type these words. I have had a desire to write this all down for some time now. So here it goes. Today I start emparking on the journey towards writing a book.
How do we live changed, what does it look like, where does that change come from and how does it stay with us as we grow in the Lord.
After years of meeting with young women, I found that change does not come easy and it does not come with out some guidance. As I have prayed over this for years now, the Lord has continued to lay on my heart the action of learning these things, embarking knowledge to young women,not because of what I know but because of how I learned it.
