An interesting day..

Hmm.. So, what happened today?  Or more like what didn't.  Today was probably one of the most eventful/noneventful days of my summer, so far.  

I woke up this morning and ran errands with my mom.  I really appreciate the time I get to spend with her/my family.  I see all my friends moving, getting married, or even crazier, having children.  I don't see any of those happening in the near, really near future, but I do see them happening, so I'm trying to appreciate the time I with them.

After running errands, I began getting ready for work.  While getting ready I got a phone call from the first and only teaching job interview I have had so far.  Unfortunately, I did not get the position, but the principal said I was in the TOP 3!!  I was pretty excited about this since it was my first interview and she said I was the only top 3 candidate with no teaching experience.  So, although I was complimented, I still felt disappointed because I just want to be a TEACHER!

Lucky for me God has specific plans for my life... and later on in the day he would reveal another opportunity for me.  

While at work, I got a call from another school asking me for an interview for a 5th grade teaching position.  God is so faithful, and I need to work on trusting him.  When one door closes, he always seems to have something else lined up waiting for me.  I'm not saying I'm confident that I will get this job, just very thankful for another opportunity.

So today,

I want ... to see my friends

I need ... to go to bed!!
 

Just another day..

Unfortunately, for me, it seems that Mondays are NEVER fun days.  It's always difficult to get the week started again, especially after such wonderful weekends.  This weekend, I got to spend a lot of time with one of my sweet, sweet friends, Kacie, who married the love of her life on Saturday.  It was quite possibly the sweetest wedding I've ever been to.  I would post pictures, but I left my camera at home... so, maybe in the future.

Anyways, today was just a lazy day.  I slept in, which was HEAVENLY after such a busy (but wonderful) weekend, ate lunch with my wonderful mother, watched Step up, read a little bit, and then spent my evening at work. Other than that, nothing exciting.

Today,

I want ... a sunny day tomorrow so I can lay out at the pool and catch up on my reading.

I need ... tomorrow to be busy at work, so I can make some moneyyy :) (that may be more of a want than a need, but money is needed, so we will leave it like that for now)

Wow, my first blog ever...

I cannot believe the day is finally here.  I OFFICIALLY have my own blog! I've always wanted my own, but life usually got in the way and for some reason or another I never got around to it.  Well, I'm trying out a new motto:  "There's no time like the present."  So, I figure I better not waste another second.  

I was really nervous coming up with a name for a blog.  I feel like that's a pretty big deal.  I decided on the name of "What A Girl Wants" after finishing the book "What A Girl Wants" by Kristin Billerbeck.  

 

It really helped put things in to perspective for me.  If you haven't read it, but are feeling down about your love life, confused on life decisions, or pretty much anything for that matter - it's a great read. My goal with this blog is to say 1 thing I WANT every day, and then distinguish the difference by saying 1 thing I NEED depending on what I may need that day.  I feel like often times we get so wrapped up in the craziness of life that we forget to distinguish the difference between our wants and our needs.

So, for today:

I want... to fall in love.

I need... to figure out my work schedule for the week.

Well, until next time...
