2. I never really felt like I was very southern until I went to college, where I was suddenly much more southern than most of my other friends. This is because where I'm from, people don't consider me southern or country at all, because compared to everyone else around here I'm not. All this to say, living at home, I'm back to feeling very normal and non-southern, which makes me a little sad. [but I still say yall and love sweet tea]
3. Sometimes I look at people's blogs or pictures on Facebook and I'm jealous of their lives. Jealous that they are going on adventures or are married or even just because their lives look really fun. This is a confession. My heart shouldn't have this attitude because I know that I am exactly where the Lord wants me. That should be enough for me.
4. Summer is almost over. This depresses me most years. But I found myself actually looking forward to fall when I was thinking about it this morning. Ok, to be honest, I'm looking forward to boots and cardigans. But it's a start, right? :)
5. Monday I start my first full-time teaching job. I'm teaching math and science at a Juvenile Detention Center in Pine Bluff. I honestly almost laugh out loud every time I think about how crazy it is that this is my first job out of college. Most of the time I feel unprepared and inadequate and like they surely should've hired someone else for this. And then I remember that that is just about God's favorite thing. Which makes me not so worried anymore.
