As the Seasons change... so do we....

Fall are you here yet?!?!? While summer has been great ( minus the 107 degree OK weather), we are so ready for the change of the season. I can't wait to see the leaves change into those beautiful autumn colors and feel the crisp breeze across my cheek!! I have not seen a true Fall since I left South Carolina.. two years ago!!

As Summer is coming to a close, the everyday "normalcy" of our lives is coming to a close as well. In a few weeks, Rory will be leaving for Washington State to train a unit that will be shipping out overseas. While he is gone for almost a month and a half, I have decided to make a huge change in my life. After leaving South Carolina with high hopes and dreams for my future as a teacher, I have faced nothing but hardship and disappointment through the many moves we have had to make for the Army. I feel like I have been on an emotional roller coaster... never knowing where it is taking me or if I will ever have a chance to get off. At many times, I have been lost. confused. angry. bitter. I couldn't understand why God was putting us through such a difficult beginning to our life together. I have held on so tight to my dream that I refused to cling on to another. All I knew.. all I could see.. was that life was being unfair. Why must I sacrifice so much just to be with the man I love??

After many months of soul searching, I am finally coming to the realization that I need to simply accept the road that life has brought me down and move on. So, I have decided to create my own tutoring business. If I can't teach n the classroom.. then I will bring the students to me! :) The idea is very new and I have just started the brainstorming of this project. I just hope that my hard work, passion and dedication to this will bring me the happiness and success that I have missed out on for the past two years!!
