I miss college and my family...

Well it is a random Monday night and as I sit here alone I am starting to miss college more than I ever thought I would. I miss seeing Ross and my friends everyday. I miss staying up late and sleeping in. I miss having the choice of getting up and going to class or convincing myself I would catch up next time. Being a grown up has its ups but tonight, I am feeling its downs. I also miss my parents/family more than ever. Does anyone want to join in the efforts to try to get all of the Becker's/Bell's to move to the Dallas/Ft.Worth area?? I would give anything to be able to go see them whenever I wanted and I hate that my job gets in the way of that. I'm sure most of you understand that the weekends are so precious when you have an 8-5 (or in my case 8-6 or so) job. I know that my parents feel the same way, it is just nice to have 2 days of relaxation before the hustle and bustle of the next week. I think we have a trip planned to celebrate Brandi's b-day in a couple of weeks and it can't come fast enough.

Okay, enough of the pity party. I guess I just wanted to get that off my heart and hope that someone might have some words of wisdom for me as to how to get over college and possibly learn how to balance work and family (I know some of you with kids are wondering what in the world I even have to complain about haha). For a brief cap on other activities going on right now...

I am still working at Prestige Staffing trying to stay employed at least until my lease is up in August. I also am in the process of getting certified to teach Group X classes at 24 Hour Fitness and I can't wait to get all of that moving. I get to tap into my old cheerleader days and do some auditions next month--I will keep you posted on how that goes. Ross is still taking an EMT class to hopefully add some potential to his resume for firefighting and we will continue to pray that he gets chosen out of the millions of people that apply. All in all life is good, I am so blessed and I continually remind myself that. I'm sorry if this post is a little depressing. I hope all is well with anyone who reads this.

God bless and Gig'em!! <3

I remember shortly after I graduated from college, teaching in Belton, mentioning to a young mother of two toddlers who was also teaching, that I couldn't imagine being any busier than I was then. And... I couldn't at the time. It was my life, it was very busy. Now my life is busier, but it's all fun busy.

Don't knock yourself for missing the community that college provides. That's kind of our church's buzz word these days: community. But I'm coming to realize -- there's something to it. We all desperately need a place to belong, where people are glad to see us. College is usually that-- and, there's that whole sleeping in thing you mentioned! No doubt... it all sounds good to me. I'm actually applying for a "grown-up job" (that means working through SUMMER -- NO WAY!!) Can you believe I've never had one in my life? I'm a blessed person.

I totally get where you are. And... can I say... I hope you have a church home that helps you with community...!
