So where should I begin!! I am still in Mississippi even though every time I go home people say that I should move back. I have been so incredibly blessed with the amount of love that people have shown me since I have moved. In a way I had this fear that no one would remember be once I left, no one would miss me, and I just be like I never existed. I know kinda dramatic but when you have lived in one place for about 15 years and you are moving all by yourself it is scary.
Life here is great, I am loving it!! I am still loving my job some days are harder than others. There are days like today where I feel like I cannot help anyone and everytime I turn around I am getting told that. I love that I get to come to work and help people and let people know about this amazing organization that is fighting cancer every single day!! I was able to help this one lady who was needing to go to MD Anderson for the 3rd time and was able to find a donor to donate the $645 that she needed to be able to stay in Houston while receiving her treatment. That was an awesome day and an incredible phone call to make!! I had already told her that I had done all that I could and came up with 0 results. I got off and wanted to absolutely cry!! I then get the call the next morning about the donor!!! It is so great to hear a patient's voice go from no hope to they are actually able to possibly see a light. I was just relieved that we were able to help take a small burden off of her during this time in her life. Not all days are like that but in the end it is a great job and I am so incredibly blessed to be able to have it. I am excited because the first week in June is CAMP RAINBOW!!! I get to go and be with the kids at camp, it is for kids all over the state of Mississippi that have Cancer! They get to come for a week and just be a kid, of course there is plenty of medical assistance if needed. If they are in the middle of treatment they still receive it and get to have fun.
There is one HUGE thing that has happened!! I GRADUATED!! I have a Master's Degree and could not be more excited. I did not realize till after I walked that it was a big deal to have a Master's. It was hard and exhausting but so worth it. It was such a great accomplishment and was a great moment to walk across that stage and to stand as receiving a Master's of Arts in Health Education. I do not feel that I will go one to get a PhD but I definitely see myself as going back and possibly getting another Master's Degree. I think I would wait after marriage before kids. Of course who knows how far away that is.........................That is another thing I really really want to get married and have babies and children and be a mom and wife. It hit me the other day that I will be turning 27 in a few months!! 27 ok I know that I am not ancient but I just really hoped that I would at least be engaged or even dating someone right now. I know that God has an amazing plan for me and my future spouse. I have been praying for him for awhile and when I think about it that he maybe praying for me also it just makes you smile. I cannot wait to meet him. I know that it will all happen on God's time table and not my own.
I am really excited about going to Fort Worth this weekend and getting to see the Herrington's and seeing Lilly for the first time!!! I cannot wait! I can't wait to just talk to Lori and Jeff, it feels like I have not seen them in forever. Well it has been about 5 months!! I cannot believe that I have already lived in Mississippi for over 4 months!! WOW!! How time flies!!
Well I better let yall go but I will try to be better about updating the blog!!
CURRENTLY READING: "My Sister's Kepper" loving it and cannot wait for the movie to come out on June 26th!!!
