Just to show that Im still here

So it has been a solid month since my last blog post. If there are people out there who still go to this page, Im sorry for my long absence.

This blog will be short and sweet just to show you that Im still alive and doing well.

I have officially finished (and passed) my final semester as a student at Purdue. My 21 credit hour semester stretched me to my limits but i feel that it also prepared me for student teaching this spring. Ahh student teaching...something I have been excited for and yet dreading these past 4 years. But I am really excited to see what God will do. I love the school Im at and have fully enjoyed getting to know the teacher I will be working with.

It is crazy to think that in 5 months from now, I will be back in Bluffton, a college graduate. How does the job market look? It will be interesting but I trust that God has something special planned for me, even if that is subbing for a year or two.

But I don't want to think about that right now. Because right now, I am fully enjoying this time at home with my friends and family. I am loving every minute of it, every morning I sleep in, every game with my parents, every event with friends or the young group. College has been great and a blessing but I sure do miss Bluffton and the wonderful people here.

Perhaps a more in depth post will come later but I think its time to go play a game with Mom and Dad and maybe grab a good book and start reading.

Wishing you all a very warm and happy Christmas season. God bless.
