growing up.

im at the point in my life, that im just fully trusting God and letting life happen for its self and just live a life for God. 

everything happens for a reason, and im not going to try to be friends with everyone or try to be center of attention.

there is no reason for it, im content with life.

God has taught me so much in the past few months and brought so much change into my life.

in each situation, weather i made the right choice or not, ive learned from them.

and well this life isnt about me, its about a life for God. 

im not perfect nor want to be.

things will be okay in the end.

and im glad ive gone thru the things i have and wouldnt change them for a thing.

hugs

today i quit my job at the school district and got a new job as a nanny an hour later.

then went to my old district job to visit my kids, and a few of girls spotted me out the window as i walked up the ramp and came running out to hug me!!! and then the rest of the kids mobbed me.

i couldnt be happier to have so many kids missing me. im going to miss them. they used to make my bad days all the better with one hug, smile, laugh, random story, those kid things. i did my job and impacted there lives.

God seriously answered my prayer with giving me a new job, i just got to wait and see when i get a permanent position, that is close to home and more one on one. i hope i get some rad family and kids. im praying that things work out well, i just got to trust Him.

very sore!!!!!!!!!

here is one of my shots finally!

i actually think i have a better one but dont feel like uploading it.

anyways, its 7:45 pm and we're just taping boxes to start packing
but before i do that ill update you on my day

i went out w/ my uncles to a few stores, seriously im sick of shopping
if i forgot to get someone a gift im sorry, ill make you a card with a picture from vietnam.. :]

after riding around, it started to rain... like i said before people here dont really slow down
well my uncle and i were riding back to his place, when we took a sharp turn
and totally locked the wheel and fell over
lucky i was wearing a jacket and my arm just has some scratches and my leg has a few bruises
my head hurts but i was wearing a helmet. ill feel more soreness tomorrow

but im just glad that we are both okay. my other uncle who saw it happen
didnt even think i would stand up right after but i did and just laughed...
the last week here, ive managed a sprained right ankle and now my left side.
had to even it out right?
plus it was bound to happen, i always get hurt
i just hope nothing is worst than i think it is...

i come home in two days!!!!!!!!!
<3

muine

me and the beach!

the sand duns

this is what they call sand boarding

this is my update, plus i come home soon and can actualy tell you my stories in person!
so not to many post left... but i come home really soon!
im counting the days. i seriously am so excited to get on a plane.
<3

its offical

(not my photo sadly, but one from the lunar festival by my uncle)

my photo skills are back into the working, since ive been here. ive been really encourage to actually figure out how to use my camera to the best of its ability, and capture some images that i dont think i would have before. finially putting some of those photography skills to work, after i fustrated the heck out of it when i was in photo class.

on another note, im for sure my ankle it sprained. im trying to lay off it for a little bit. but its hard when i want to leave the house and adventure more for the last few days that im here. ill get it checked when i get home... maybe.

thursday, friday, saturday, sunday.... family dinner, goodbye dinner with some friends, and adventuring and packing. plus finding time to spend a few hours with my little cousins who really want to hangout. then monday morning at 5 am, i should be on a plane to come home!

i still dont know who is going to pick me up. my mom said my papa is going to pick me up, but i think willie wanted too. haha, i really dont know. it would help if i could have real conversations with people. contacting over the internet is not the same...

waves crashing

so im in muine.... its a ocean beach area.
so i woke up early this morning and we drove here
in my aunts new grandis.... mercedes

im in the middle of vietnam and so far
the hotel im at faces the pool and past the pool is the ocean!
so ive gone swimming in the pool and in the ocean

there are actually waves here but not really for surfing, but lots of wind and kite surfers here

oh and sandboarding isnt like snowboarding
its pretty much like sledding down sand duns, you so could take a snowboard up there
but the girls who took us, dont go to school cuz its to expensive and the most down to earth girls
ill tell you guys more later, maybe
well sand sledding is so much fun, but i pretty much decided everytime there is sand and my body freaks out
good things dont happen, i need to get that checked but im okay

i think i sprained my ankle though, it really hurts
and im coming back to city tomorrow, wish i was staying longer....

but 6 more days and then im home. :]
