New Beginnings and Coming Home

Well I haven't posted at ALL in 2012 to keep you up to date on how well things are going for me with my Operation 2012 challenge. But I have been working towards my goals and haven't achieved them, but I have made what I would consider a lot of progress and I have had an AWESOME 2012 so far.

 First I want to mention that I have had the opportunity to teach, coach, and be around some of the coolest kids, students, athletes, youth (whatever you want to call them) on the PLANET!! I meant these guys are awesome. And I truly have God to thank for that. I have been living in Bowie the last couple years and it was 100% a God thing that got me there. Over the last two years I have had the chance to fall in love with the community of Bowie. I have got to teach 6th grade Science, coach freshman girls volleyball, keep basketball stats, run the clock at many girls games, help with the youth at Southside Baptist... and there were times I thought I wound up at Bowie on accident. I know now that it was by God's will that placed me there. I don't think the community of Bowie will ever know how much they have impacted my life! So thank you Bowie for helping me to grow over the last two years. 







 So recently I have been given the opportunity to come back home to Dublin and get a chance to impact and be impacted by the students of my hometown. I am very excited to the chance to come back home (even though I will dearly miss so many people in Bowie). I will be teaching 7th grade Science and be a girls coach at the Jr. High. Oh how blessed I feel right now! Now only am I coming home, but one of my best friends K'rin Young and her family are coming back as well. I am very excited about reunited with her and many of my hometown buddies!! (Jess you for sure know that includes you and so many other great Dublin people)

 Also my little brother will be attending Tarleton starting in July and we are going to be roommates. We have never lived together so I am very excited about this chance that we get to just be siblings. I am sure we are going to have plenty of laughs, mixed in with plenty of arguments, but I am so excited about this new venture! We found an adorable house that we are going to rent from my new friends Amy & Tony Cortez (Good luck to you guys in Sweetwater)



 My parents have also been going to Timber Ridge church in Stephenville and I am excited to come and be a part of the great things that they are doing there and plugging in a getting involved. So 2012 you are half over, but I know that there are so many great things to come! SO BRING IT ON :)
