Dream Job

I am a horrible blogger but I feel like at times that I don't have anything exciting to say haha...but here goes....

This week has been great so far! It has been busy which I like. Today I had a hair appointment. I was so excited! I have always been blonde but the past year or so I have been going back and forth between blonde and brown..well today I highlighted it blonde but its not crazy blonde, just enough to lightened it up a bit. I am happy with it. Tomorrow my mom and i will be painting my room. I am also very excited about this. We moved to this house last august. You know when people sell homes they paint the rooms tan, well my room is a weird tan that i don't like so i am very excited for it come together! i will post pics of the final product!

Well schools starts August 25th. Its seems so close yet kinda far away. I am kinda ready but not really. I am excited to start classes for my major which is Child development! I originally thought that i wanted to work at an adoption agency, which i might still do but i did some research on my major and found that this major certifies me as a child life specialist! That means that i could work at Vanderbilt! I love the medical atmosphere! below is a quick description of the job!! I love it! My minor will probably be psychology!

A child life specialist work with patients, their family and others involved in the child’s care in order to help them manage stress and understand medical and various procedures.Child life specialists recognize individuality in patients, and use a range of developmentally appropriate activities, including play, preparation for a medical procedure, education, self-expression, and family support to help cope with hospitalization, illness, or death and dying.Because children may feel overwhelmed, child life professionals help children gain a sense of familiarity and control of their environment through much play and exploration inside the healthcare facility.

I think this would be an awesome job! I hope this is what the Lord has for me but if it is not, i know the Lord has something better for me! :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Family Vacation

I am back from Ohio and getting settled into my normal routine again! I had a blast with my family and Tyler this past week. We have family in Ashtabula, Ohio. It is right on Lake Erie. It was beautiful and the weather was awesome!! It was a nice break from the horrible Tennessee heat.

It was awesome for one week to just relax and not have an agenda. I don't get to spend as much time with my family as i would like to, life is just busy. SO it was great to get a whole week to spend with my amazing family! My family in Ohio consists of Roman( my Godfather), Kristie( my godmother), their beautiful son Dalton, and their one month old son Brady! I love them so much! I always hate leaving because they mean so much to me and I don't get to see them very often! but anyways...here are some pictures from this past week! me seeing baby brady for the first time! :) i was just a little excited! lol

I got thrown off the tub but it was a blast! I attempted to ski but lets just say it didn't work out! lol We got to watch a lot of fireworks and relax! :) here are just a few pictures from this weekend!

Yesterday I got to spend the night with my dear friend Lauren! We had a lot of fun talking and just hanging out! She is an amazing person! Please continue to pray for her as she goes this Thursday for round 4 of chemo! I Love You girl! The past 2 weeks I have made it to her house to watch Celebrity Family Fued! We have decided to make it a tradition every Tuesday night! So tonight Tyler and I are gonna go watch it with her and her lovely mom! :)

Well Tyler and I leave again this Saturday to spend an entire week in Ohio visiting my family! I can't wait! I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week!
