I finally decided!

Ok so over there on our little 'About Me' paragraph thing it says that Justin is going to school to be an Auto Tech and that I haven't decided. Well, good news! I HAVE decided! I want to teach preschool! So I am going to get my Early Childhood Special Education Blended Certificate. It sounds like a lot but really it just means I can teach preschool through 3rd grade special ed or not. Anyway...the plan is as soon as Justin graduates we are moving to Pocatello so that I can go to ISU and finally finish school! So, I am pretty excited that I finally know what I am going to school for!

John and Liz said...: congrats Toshia. You are toooo bright NOT to get that education. It's obvious you love kids - go for it! We'd LOVE to get a chance to go through the Twin Falls Temple. I'm sure we'd rub elbows with friends from 20 years ago when we lived there. Love, Grandma; August 22, 2008 at 6:41 PM

Message from a Prophet

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith.
In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."
-President Gordon B. Hinkley

If I tell you I love you, can I keep you forever?

When they ask me what I liked best, I’ll tell them it was you.

I guarantee there’ll be tough times; I guarantee that at some point, one, or both of us is gonna want out of this thing; but I also guarantee, that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life…because I know in my heart, that you’re the only one for me.

You are what I never knew I always wanted.

I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.
