Big sister and "her" baby
Jack McCall Jones :)
Currently dying to see those little ones above (especially Jack since I haven't seen him since his arrival into the world). I'm scared to miss their sweet growth since they're several hours away. It really is crazy how much they grow and mature in the short time you're away from them. Oh man, they're precious.
Speaking of kids, I am finally starting to get into more education classes, and I am loving them. I am so thankful that through one class specifically the Lord has given me such assurance of my future as a teacher. I am realizing more and more the importance of this career and the way He can use me to touch people's lives, especially children, and love on them through His unending love for me. I am also getting to go to an elementary school once a week for the semester, and even after the first week, I know it's going to be rewarding. Exciting happenings, folks!
Can we talk about the fact that it is September?! August flewww by but I can't say I'm all that sad about it. August is a busy, transitional, awkward month filled with new routines and schedules to get accustomed to. Not to mention you melt when you walk outside (unfortunately this sticks around for too long in Starkville). September brings football (#hailstate), Labor Day and no school, settling into a routine, and a slow movement into Fall (my favorite season). Oh the fun to come...
By the way... have I mentioned my new roommates? I must say I am one lucky girl when it comes to this topic. First of all, I have been blessed throughout college with incredible roommates and friendships. Seriously, they have gotten me through some rough patches and embraced the best with me. And this current set of roommates does not disappoint. Living with Lia, Louise, and AK has already been a wonderful experience. Partly because our house is perfect but mostly because they are phenomenal. I am so encouraged by them everyday and have already laughed enough to hurt several times (shocked, I'm sure). But they really are such amazing women of the Lord, and I feel so grateful to have them as friends and now roomies. They will probably never know how much I love and look up to them, but I will surely try to show them.
