may I be pardoned...?

I cant believe that i've waited this long to write...im pained with jolts of regret and sadness. I love writing, but have acted otherwise..
well there's nothing i can do about it now. therefore i will result to my secondary...which is making list. i will recap my last 9months in a neat and summed up list of events and feelings.
since my last post was in march..i will continue from the month of march:

1. me and chris realized that one day we would marry.
2. i decided to go to africa with a small team of ppl from my church.
3. my 23 birthday
4. my surprise party...EVERYONE came except for a couple ppl who are not only proven to be pathetic, but are just sadly Lam-o...CAPITAL "L". honestly glad cause didnt want them there anyways but found out that they were invited by my mom (the one throwing the surprise party) go figure.stared fund raising with my church for funds that would be used to purchase abundant resources to be given to children and elderly in africa.
5. leave for london
6. mission trip in africa. most amazing experience ever. i'd rather call it a benchmark, rather than a lifetime experience.
7. chris and i return from africa.
8. return to work in september.
9. lots of problems occur at work concerning new middle school principal and staff. district pulls cover up on 2 children assigned to me who were, sadly, not receiving appropriate one-on-one assistance.
10. sadly, once again, im pulled into a mtg with this horrible principal to talk about my 9 month evaluation...which conveniently was on a friday and happened to be 3 weeks early. the contents of this evaluation, i will not enclose in this blog....but to give minimal insight, it stated untrue defects in my work performance which was 100% inconsistent with my 2 previous evaluations done by our former principal who recently retired months before. sad story, not for me. but for the students now under this inadequate authority and direction.
11. church pulls off most excellent maze ever. we prepped for weeks and the big debut was on oct 31st!
12. thanksgiving
13. day after thanksgiving, chris takes me, keely, and taulia to mt baldy for the day.
14. later that day...chris proposes to me...i say yes!

15. im ENGAGED!! and preparing to marry the most incredible man ever. he is absolutely, the perfect man for me. i will always love him.
16. very fun: announcing our engagement to everyone.
17. we buy scene it: seinfeld edition
18. art and chris' big bday party bash!
19. im still looking for a job. i go on most fantastic interview ever with a preschool opening up on our church property.
20. i get a call back, not very clear in direction, but in which it is stated: "we are still deciding where you will be placed"...which to me and my family sounds as if i got the job :)
21. chris takes me christmas shopping and we buy presents for our family.
22. chirs buys me the most beautiful red coat to wear this sunday @ church. our childrens choir is performing and i want to look festive while i lead them.(END OF LIST)
Thats a quick sweep through. obviously i have left much out. and i also realize that only what is most important to me (@this moment) made it onto the list at this time. but i need to move on to more current matters...

VERY IMPORTANT: even though what i am about to write has been omitted from my list of events and feelings... i would like to add that i have been following the Caylee Anthony case from day one! im very passionate about this case and my heart aches for the people involved. I do believe that casey killed her daughter caylee and i am sure that this truth will be brought out in future findings and trial. I believe that caylee is now in heaven and no longer in any confusion or pain. Even though i wish none of this would have ever happened, i thank God that she is out of harms way now, and in the safest of all. i pray for her family and for the truth to be brought out..only to continue my faith in our higher authorities and judicial system. Time will tell!...
I will now close, but re-open with an additional holiday blog! (enclosed with personal christmas list!)
