Less than a month to go...

Well it is already July and the summer is flying by faster then usual, probably because this is my last "real" summer. The first summer session is over and the next summer session began last week, I just realized that I won't ever have another 1st day of class...it is kinda bitter sweet. I am taking biochemistry (it is kicking my butt) and a stupid o-chem lab that I somehow overlooked when I did my degree audit last fall. Last week I had my 2nd BICH test and I realized that I reallllly need some help learning this stuff so me and another girl in class hired a private tutor that we will be spending 3 hours a week with. I'm not sure if I would have ever made it through some of my classes here at a&m without tutors and I'm not sure how much real knowledge of my major I will leave a&m with but I know one thing, I'm not near as smart as I thought I was.  Anyway, I got the official e-mail yesterday about graduation, its on August 8th at 2:00pm. I still don't feel like it is actually going to happen and it probably won't feel real until I actually walk across the stage. 

So, I have been actively searching for a "big girl job" since the beginning of the summer and I am surprised as to how many hits I have actually gotten. I had my first interview a couple Friday's ago with a company in Dallas and I absolutely loved it. They are a recruiting firm that only hires youngsters like myself and solely promotes from within so the idea of moving up and actually making a career out of my first job is kinda exciting. I have my 2nd interview with them next week so we will see how all of it goes. 

Well I better call it quits, I need to finish up a few o-chem lab reports and study some for my stupid BICH test that is Monday morning. I am proud of myself because I could be going to float the river with Brandi, Andrew, and Ross this weekend but instead I'm staying here studying :( it is SUPER hard for me to pass up on a good time for school but I guess it will be worth it if I can get through this class. I wanted to leave you with a little quote I found in a Max Lucado book that has stuck with me all week, "If you think it's all about you, and I think it's all about me, we have no hope for a melody." I will also attach a few photo's from what's been going on.

Have a wonderful weekend.

God Bless and Gig'em!!!

Us on the way to meet Ross and float the Guad a few weekends ago. If you ever need a laugh just hang out with Brandi and Andrew...they are sooooo entertaining and in Brandi's words "God sure does have a funny sense of humor"

4th of July at the Becker's :) This picture is me trying to help with the fire work show, they didn't let me do much but for what I did get to do it was fun :)

Bad day.

I am not one to complain about life because I have been blessed beyond reason. But today I have let my personal problems and my stressful school situation get to me. I remembered this quote and it has been a great encouragement for today and I figured I would share it with anyone who reads this. 

Gig'em and God bless,

"God grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change; 

courage to change the things I can; 

and the wisdom to know the difference. 

Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; 

Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace. 

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; 

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; 

That I may be reasonably happy in this life, 

And supremely happy with Him forever in the next"

- Reinhold Niebuhr

Busy Life...

I am probably the worst blogger ever but I really have been busy. As some of you may know, Chelsea Becker is finally Chelsea Sowards and her and Alec couldn't be any happier. They truly are one of those couples that you know were a match made in heaven and I can't wait to watch them grow together for many many years to come. The wedding was beautiful and I think Chelsea was probably the prettiest bride I have ever seen (I will put pictures at the bottom so you can judge for yourself). Everyone but Mom made it through the entire ceremony without crying and if you had seen us at the rehearsal dinner you would realize how big of a deal us not crying is. Anyway, it was a blast and I wanted to say thanks to those of you reading that made the trip to spend such a special day with my family. It is a relief to have all the stress of the wedding behind us but it won't last long since Brandi's will be here before we know it.

Since I am taking summer school I only had like a month's worth of summer and it is already over. This first summer session I am in business and chemistry classes all morning and I will be spending all of my spare time studying for them. These are my last few classes before I graduate in August so I guess I can make it through. My life is pretty uneventful for now and I was going to get a job but Dad said that if I will make finding my "big girl" job my job then I don't have to have a college kid job for now. I am living with my best friend Michelle in our own 2 bed/ 2 bath apartment and it is GREAT, the drama of living with 4 girls last semester was not fun. Well to be honest that is about all I have for my life right now. Here are a few pictures of the wedding stuff...enjoy.

Gig'em and God bless!
