Anyway, David has completed his first year of college! He made the Dean's List for the spring quarter and got his name in the local newspaper. Can you tell I am one proud wife? Well if you can't, I AM ONE PROUD WIFE! I wish I would have focused and studied that hard when I was getting my undergrad! Ha, my parents were praying for me to just finish. Truth be known, now that I k'now what I want to do when I grow up' (or kinda of an idea) finishing my Master's Degree has some how allowed for me to get much better grades. I know, I know, imagine that - my social life isn't as important as I once thought it to be! Back to David - he completed 34 hrs this past year and is scheduled to complete another 6 through summer school. He is taking his second English in summer session 1 and some Math in summer session 2. He stays incredibly busy between school, mowing the family properties and working at the public library. The best thing about the library is that it has AC, and for those of you that know anything about Louisiana summer's - THAT is definitely something to be thankful for! :)
As for me, I am working like a mad woman. I have more comp time than I know what to do with, but what can I say, I LOVE MY JOB!!!!! It is by far the most incredible thing I have ever done. Helping people is exactly what I plan to do for the rest of my life; I simply love it. I am over a federal grant and it is in full force. Naturally, that means that almost daily guidelines change and people disqualify from the day before or qualify when yesterday they didn't. How is this you ask? IT IS GOVERNMENT MONEY, what did you expect?!?! :) But for those that do get in the program - it is amazing.
The ladies at the Mission that are in the Disicipleship Training Program (we offer a rehabilitation program) get the opportunity to have me (I know, woooo hooo) teach them in Phase 2 Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace course!!!! And y'all it is the COOLEST thing in the whole world when a homeless individual feels HOPE and realizes that they too can have independent living! SUCH a neat thing to see. We are currently in week 6 with a total of 13, so half way through! Some of these women are over the age of 50 and never had a checking account before, pulled or even read a credit report, or to get really basic, budgeted. That is insane to me. Luckily, I had a mom and dad that were in banking and accounting - I had it whether I wanted it or not! :)
Everyday isn't a fun day at work, but days that I get to see one more, just one, have that light bulb go off makes it so worth it.
Did I mention comp time? :) Next week, is Aly's wedding. We are going to be in Indiana from Thursday until Sunday. I am super pumped to get some time away from work, but also to get to see family and most of all spend some good ol' fashion quality time with my grandparents! Aly will have the unique wedding she is after and I am sure there will be picture galore. After all, I think all but myself in her bridal party are photographers! :) Fun times.
Last thing, in the month of June, June 26th to be exact - I, Anna June Adams, will be running my very first 5K!!!! I could not BE more excited! Everyday I am running a little more, a little faster. I don't think this first 5K will be very pretty, but I WILL DO IT! The next 5K I am scheduled to run is in September. It will benefit the Rescue Mission and well I was nominated by the board/staff to be the rep for the group. :) Fine by me, gives me yet another goal to work towards getting and staying healthy. YA!!!
Below are just some random, silly and fun pictures of us. :)
