So I went to my mom and dad's over Thanksgiving. Sorry I missed your call, CBB. :o( I should have called you back. My cell phone died while in Arkansas. So besides thinking about you, CBB, I was thinking of how my family is like a country song. Well, not my immediate family, but some of my cousins. It was fun to see them all (my dad has seven brothers and sisters), though I'm sure not all of them were happy to see one another. Especially two of my cousins who are brothers, who have a wife in common. Well, she divorced the older brother and is now married to the younger one. But all three of them live in my aunt's house, with their children. Yep. Jeff Foxworthy would be proud.
I have also been thinking about the new blog in which I'll be taking part over this Advent. Please look every day of Advent, as there will be a new devotional each day. I am the pity partner - no, really, it is true - for this endeavor. Did I spell endeavor right? Somebody? See what I mean? My co-bloggers for this project are geniuses. Literally and truly. So on the days when it is my turn, please expect very little, compared to what has come before. It will be a great project, though, and I am excited about it.
Here's the last thing I want to mention that's been going on in my head: I'm thinking about becoming a teacher by getting my alternative (? or alternate? - see, I don't even know what I'm doing) teaching certificate. That way, we'll have a little bit more of a financial cushion so that I can finish the last 30 hours of my seminary degree. I don't know, though. Will I be a good teacher or a bad teacher? Can I deal with the stress of it? I am going between excited and apprehensive at the thought of it. What do you think?
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving with your families! CBB, I'll see you Christmas. Did you eat some ham on Thursday? Seeing as you normally eat ham. :o)
And to my Apron Ladies (check out my link to Peanut), THANK YOU and please let me know payment and mailing details. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! You would be a GRRRRRRREAT teacher. And I'm not just sayin' that b/c I'm biased. Seriously. I mean, seriously.
Okay. So, I'm going to be praying for you. That God will lead you to make the right decision and all that... or that he'll drop a teaching job in your lap, etc...
I'm so sad that I didn't get to meet ABB, but maybe over Christmas??
Love you!!
BTW, NO HAM! Waaaa! =(
awesome!!!! i got my alternative license, and it was not so bad (testing, etc.) Let me know if I can help with anything. Those aprons are adorable! Love ya!
AKAT - what was your undergrad? What made you decide to go for the alternative? We should talk!
I think you would make (you DO make) an incredible teacher! You are really gifted with a heart for people and an ability to speak to the heart. What better teacher could there be?!?
And what do you mean "pity"? Having been on the receiving end of your spiritual insight, I think your participation is wonderful.
journalism. i couldn't get a decent job, though, and teaching was the clear choice. it was a fairly easy process obtaining the alternative, at least in OK. please call/email if you have any questions!
