We are Family! :)

About a year and a half ago, my mom told me that she had a brother who she just got in touch with over FaceBook. She would call him and talk to him all the time! He lives in Arizona.
I was very skeptical about him at first. For all I knew, he could be some crazy man or something (bear, monster :P).
After about a year, my Uncle Bob decided he would make a trip from Arizona to good ol Alabama for my sister's college graduation! By this time, I had added him on Facebook myself and talked to him a bit! I was super stoked!
My Uncle and Mom are related on their dad's side of the family. Now, I never met my Grandpa because he past away long before I was born. However, from the descriptions of my Grandpa my mom gave to me growing up, I knew, from the interactions on Facebook and conversations on the phone, my Uncle would remind me alot of my Grandpa! And he most certainly does! He looks just like him!
My uncle is so stinkin cool, yall! And that may sound corny, but it's so true! He plays guitar and harmonica (He's in a band back in Arizona)! He super funny and loves to goof off! He loves playing with the kids! He's just an awesome guy all around. It was such a joy and pleasure to meet him!

Also, as an AWESOME surprise, my cousin Haley (Uncle Bob's daughter) decided to join him! I also added Haley on Facebook and talked to her a bit on the phone before she came too! We were all under the impression that she couldn't come because she's getting MARRIED in October! But she decided kinda last minute to come! Best. Surprise. Ever. Hands. Down!
Haley is such a cool cat! She loves to have fun and is really down to earth. I learned that she's also very creative! She reminds me a lot of my sister Sammy! Haley left today, but it's like I've known her forever! She was only here for 4 days, but anyone could tell she was family just by the way she fit in! She's just as awesome as her dad! :)

All in all, I love the new additions to my family! I have a huge family already, but we've definitely got room for more! I absolutely love my family, and I'm so grateful for all of them, even the ones I haven't met yet! I had a blast with my uncle and cousin, and I know it won't be long til I see them again!
Ta-ta for now!

Who's time is it anyway?

Well, school is over! I've finally completed my Junior year of college!  Woohoo! In just a year and a couple of months, I will be standing in front of lots of beautiful faces, teaching, guiding, and helping them during my internship! I. Can't. Wait! :D
I learned this semester just how bad procrastinating is! This has probably been my worst semester of school. The classes I took were very interesting and weren't bad at all! I just didn't do my work. I was tired a lot and cranky! Most of my time was spent on Netflix, which I really need to delete!
I need to remember that the time I have is from God! I know he has chosen me to be a teacher. Should I really be wasting my time watching stuff on TV that doesn't pertain to my life at all? My time would be much better spent putting energy into things that God has called me to do.
My time management skills have got to improve! I enjoy being organized and on top of things, and I hate being rushed! I always say that I work well under pressure, but in the process I lose all my marbles!
I know I need to work on my time management! I say that at the end of every semester of school. I really hope my summer semester turns out much better than this past semester. This time is not mine, but God's. I need to be a better steward of the time He has given me!
