Exciting News : )

Okay....I'm new at this whole blogging thing, but I've heard it's a really good way to vent, and just get things out there. So, here's mine.

Here's a little bit of background:
*I married the love of my life, Trevor, on August 30, 2008. I now live in Greenville, SC...about an hour and a half from my hometown Canton, NC, and it's tough. It's hard to leave family, and friends that you are so close to. I have lots and lots of friends, but my "little twin" sister is my best.
*I love God, and am so very thankful for the many things that I have been blessed with.
*I have an "etended family" (Ginger and all her kiddos) that we kind of adopted into our family. They spend lots of time with us and are a part of all of our family traditions/holidays. I consider Ginger to be my "big sister" and the kids are my "neices and nephews". Back in February of this year Alyssa, the oldest, who is only 10 years old, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma (cancer)...and it's been tough. I can't even imagine what Ginger is going through, because I know how hard it's been on me just seeing it all. Her kids are a HUGE part of my life, and not just now, they have been for as long as I can remember. I even got to be there for the birth of Savannah (who just turned 1 year old) and cut her cord and be the first (after Ginger) to hold her...It was an amazing experience.
*I got to spend some time with Kaitlyn and Daniel this past weekend, T and I took them to see the new movie Bolt, and we had fun. It was really hard to leave them while they were begging to come back to Greenville with me. I love them so very much.
**SO THE EXCITING NEWS: Alyssa was sent back to Mission Hospital in Asheville today, after being told she would probably be at Duke through Christmas and probably longer...so that was GREAT NEWS! Hopefully I will get to see them sometime this week or next. They are both very excited to be so much closer to home so they can see the other kids and family.

On another note...I'm starting North Greenville University in January of '09...and should have my Elementary Education Degree in a year and a half (at the most). I have 93 transferrable credits from HCC (I changed from Early Childhood to College Transfer and have tons of extra classes) so I will be entering NGU as a junior. I can't wait to be a teacher : )

Oh...and my dog snores. I know, random...but she does, and it's ridiculously loud. Go figure.
