Everything Always Falls Into Place...

I am the truest believer in "The Secret" I've read it over a dozen times and it has definitely been sort of like a religion to me (not honestly - because that would be weird). What I'm trying to say is if there is something I believe in, it's that you get what you give. If you put out positive vibes you will receive a positive outcome and if you put out negativity you will in return get negativity.

Thinking with positive intentions has given me a lot in life; it's helped me; score jobs, get over heartbreak like it was nothin', get solo pieces in dance concerts, complete school with great grades, make extra money, and receive lots of extra blessings along the way.

Colton and I always tell each other to be positive and it's paid off. He has been stuck on what he wants to do with his career in life. (I am currently stuck now also, considering I'm not looking towards teaching another year). And he has just been blessed with an amazing opportunity. My dad is an electrician at Rio Tinto (Kennecott, and some other companies I don't know the names of) and has offered to hire Colton on as an apprentice where he will work full time and make good money, receiving $1 raises every six months. He will also go to school for four years to be certified on Tuesday and Thursday nights which would be paid for. When he finishes the program he will start to make excellent money. This is a huge deal. They never hire anyone on who has absolutely no history with the electrical field (okay, maybe not never, but it is certainly super rare). Colton hasn't decided on anything yet - it's a huge life long decision. But it's something awesome to think about it and I'm just excited he has the opportunity to begin with.

Colton and I have been staying positive about him finding a steady job that could allow me to go back to school and work part time, and eventually one day allow me to stay home while he works (far in the future). This could be it!!!

love you, Colty.

GOOD NIGHT! I better get some sleep if I want to wake up early tomorrow! Love ya'll!

rough. days.

lately i've been having rough days.

i seriously am about to give up on my job.
let's face it - i'm not the worlds best teacher.
and yes i'm a rookie - but no it's not getting easier, it actually seems to be getting harder.
I did hear that these next two months is like "teacher depression" time and we all feel this way.
but i just don't even know if it's worth it. if i did this for the rest of my life - i would be an old hag by 35 no doubt about it.

the good news is only one more month until we move into our new place. it's frustrating knowing we have so much to buy while trying to save for a cruise but doing it together is really a blessing, colton is amazing and is always making sure i'm happy and that i still get everything i want (like my hair done and shopping trips) even though we are being tight asses with the wallets lately.

decorating is fun but i'm just annoyed that i can't actually do anything until we move in.

my parents are amazing and helping us out like buying us a tv and giving us their dining room table and an entertainment center. they really are the best people ever.

maybe i'm feeling down right now because i had the worlds worst day (coffee spill down me while walking into work, late to work, forgot classroom keys, got pulled over) and because i have a pounding headache and miss colton, wish he was here but he's at work! grrrrrr.

anyway - i will be back to my happy posts next time. there is so much to be happy/grateful about. loves.

p.s. i understand i didn't capitalize anything that should be capitalized on this post - just one of those days where i don't give a shit. haha.
