Thirteen again

Finally got my student teaching placement! I will be starting tomorrow morning at Simpson Middle School.
I'm so pumped to get right there in the hormonal, body odored, confused, and cognitively developing action. Say a prayer that I can really be used in these kids lives, and that I stay on top of my nightly grad work while waking up early for life as a thirteen year old again--- I wouldn't go back to 7th grade for anything!

Also, as your true Coffee CubBuster, I threw together the best little Frappe beverage the other day. There was some left over coffee in the pot which was obviously cold. Soooo, I decided to invent a quick frothy treat. Since this was a quick invention, I didn't have time to actually measure stuff out. Here's what I think it amounted to:

4 cups of cold coffee
2 cups of ice
2 cups of milk
1/4 a cup of chocolate syrup
1 cup of cool whip*  (this makes it frothy on the top-a must!)

The best creations are those spontaneous ones! From my cup to yours~ Enjoy!

Yeah.... I wish this is where I was when I made it.

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
