These are the days of our lives...

*UPDATE* I was off this afternoon and I went and changed my social security card, drivers license, and my school registration...SO, I am OFFICIALLY Jennifer A Darst!


I'm posting from my job here in admissions again...surprised? You shouldn't be, I still just sit around all day. However, lately I have had a sense of contentment with my job. I have been told that people have told my boss that their tours were they best they had recieved on a college campus. My bosses are pleased with my work and it makes me feel accomplished, especially when most of the day I feel like I am just wasting my time and the school's money sitting here.

The freshman moved in on Wednesday. I felt bad for them, it was the rainiest possible day that they could have moved in. BUT, they all got settled in. It is so refreshing to see excited young people coming into college! They are so excited and alive waiting for their new lives to start...it rubs off on me! Just talking to them charges my day up because they want to know all about college, what they can get involved with, and what kind of professors they will have. I have met a few of the students I have given tours to and they were excited to see me, what a welcome! All of our BSM Journey Coordinators are sitting out at the meals recruiting people to join our freshman family program and we had tons sign up in just one day! This is going to be a good year!

As for me and the school year starting, I feel quite uneasy. I don't mind working, but classes starting just does not sound appealing at this point! I bought my books yesterday...but it still hasn't quite dawned on me that classes begin in 2 days! I am now an upperclassman in college...how odd. I feel like a sophomore since this is only my second year here. When I look at my semester by semester plan, it is so crazy to see student teaching next year! WOW, college really does fly by. I can't wait until I can do what I am actually going to college for! I will say I am incredibly excited about my bowling class....that's going to be freakin awesome!

Last but certainly not least, the marriage update! Married life still has not ceased to be incredible! Not only that, but God has provided for us in big ways and we are feeling good about where we are! Tim is an amazing husband. The little things he does mean so much! Like last night for instance, there was one of the biggest mounds of dishes that we had so far. I was not feeling well and he got up and did the dishes for me! He's so sweet! We got new phones and we have unlimited texting and picture mail...and he sends me sweet messages all the time and cute pictures. I love Mr. Timothy.

I have a lot to say this time around...there is more but I think I will break it up and save some for later because this is probably too long of a post.

Fairwell my friends!
