Bye Bye Lipscomb

Well it looks like Lipscomb is not going to happen for me. It's way too expensive, about $475 a credit hour which for 18 hours for me this semester would mean $8550!! And I just can't afford that! I mean, it's a beautiful wonderful school, and I'm pretty disappointed! BUT God has a plan, and maybe my plan for Lipscomb wasn't his plan. And I'm cool with that!

Mom and I sat down (did I mention recently how cool my mom is?) and we found me some classes to take so I can go full time in the Fall. I'm just waiting on MTSU to post my Praxis I scores and for a teacher to do a pre-req waiver. At MTSU I get 1/2 off of my tuition until I'm 26 because my mom works there. So I'm going to end up paying about 1/4 of what I would have paid Lipscomb.

The bad news? I'm not going to be able to babysit after this semester. I'm going to call Annie and Cathy today. So please pray for me! I love those kids!! And I haven't even started watching Lexi yet!! But I do love them! But if I want to finish school under my mom's discount, which would be silly for me not to do, I've got to make school a priority!

The good news? I'm not going to have to drive nearly as much, I'm not going to be in nearly as much debt as I would have been going to Lipscomb, and it'll just be much more convenient!!

I love God's plan! Thanks for all of the prayers!

A New Obsession!

I'm going to have to thank Jennifer Flemming for my newest obsession! ONLINE SCRAP BOOKING!! If you want to be crafty, check it out! The web page is www.scrapblog.com!! Thank's Jennifer!!

I'm not a scrap booker! My mom does it, but I've never gotten into it. Although every time I make a trip to Hobby Lobby I walk through all of the scrapbook isles just gazing, it's so neat! The books are beautiful, and they have stickers and frames for anything you can think of. And the paper and the stamps....ah, it's sooooo cool!! Well I was looking at Jennifer's blog tonight and I saw she had one of these on her page. And I love it!

It's so easy to use and to top that it's FREE!!!!! I'm a newby, so I don't really know what I'm doing. But this is the first page I did. I'm going to have to play more later!!

What do you think?

New Layout!

Sooooooo what do ya'll think???? I love it!! I think it's beautiful, bright and colorful!! It just brightens my mood a bit! I'll post pictures and stuff later. I've got 500 million things to do while Izzy is napping and Maddy is at my moms! (Yes I have a quiet home!) And instead of doing my chores I updated my blog layout....sigh....you see where my priorities are hahaha!!

BTW Maddy's apt. yesterday went smashingly! (new favorite word, smashing!) She's a perfect little girl, such a blessing!!! She is such a blessing in so many ways!

Bless my mom, pray for her, think of her, whatever you do! She's probably the most amazing person I know in this world! I'm so proud of her and how she handles all of the stresses that are in her everyday life! She's so strong, but yet so kind and so loving! I think that woman blessed my life more than any other person in this world!! So, pray for her, love on her, think of her, because she rocks and needs to hear it! LOVE YOU MOMMY :)

I'm teaching Sunday school in the Morning, please pray I do well, I love teaching soooo much!

My Nana is coming to stay for a week. She's coming down on Monday. Please pray for a safe trip. My cousin and her daughter are bringing her down. I'm so excited! We don't get to see each other often but my cousin Jessica insipres my life more than I think she knows! I can't wait for them to meet my new neice!

K I've really got to go!!!

~Blessings~
