Hey everyone
GRADUATION was SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!! I laughed and had a great time getting to visit with friends and not to mention I LOVED seeing my WONDERFUL FAMILY and FRIENDS in the stands cheering me on! Thank you to all of you, family and friends, who made it to the ceremony. It truly meant a lot to me and words cannot express my thanks at this point. So the morning started off rocky...I wasn't feeling so hot, thanks to baby, but as soon as I arrived with my big bag full of crackers, soda, lemon drops(thanks Becky) and a bag in case I got sick, I was feeling fine. Then we started to go into the coliseum, what a rush!!! Katie(my sister n law) was right behind me and it was a blast every step of the way. We took pictures and laughed and talked throughout the whole ceremony...sorry Mrs. President of Texas State, I do not remember a word you said. lol. oops. But I do know that I graduated, I laughed, I cried and I will never forget December 19, 2008. After I got my diploma(which wasn't in there by the way, I have to pick it up in January, lol) I started feeling sick and that was so not cool, but I took deep breaths and sipped some soda and eventually the queasiness went away. Wow, it's 6:45 am right now and I am still excited...even though I have already thrown up once this morning, nothing can steal my joy today. When Jeremy and I got home last night after doing some Christmas and grocery shopping it was about 5pm. I was exhausted...hardly got any sleep the night before due to anxiety I'm sure. So I decided to rest for a bit and ended up not waking up til 5:40 this morning I think when my hubby was getting ready to leave for work. I sure missed him last night...usually we get to lay in bed and chat about life and whatever but I was out of it. Thank you honey for letting me sleep! Today we have Jeremy's family Christmas and I am really hoping the morning sickness doesn't stay with me all day. Then later this evening is Katie's graduation party and I'm hoping I feel good enough to join her for a bit, we will see. Once again, thank you all who came to celebrate with me, I love you all so much and could not ask for better friends and family. Have a happy and safe weekend!!! God Bless

It's finally here
Tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, I will be graduating from Texas State University-San Marcos. I am super excited and proud of myself for finishing up in 4 years. Not to mention, I am graduating with cum laude honors. Now that is something I never dreamed up and I am super proud of myself for all of my accomplishments. I was never the college type until I got married and my husband pushed me to do my best and I started actually prioritizing things in life and then all I wanted to do was make good grades. Thanks Jeremy, for that extra push when all I wanted to do was give up.
I want to ask you, if you are a praying person, to please pray that I feel great tomorrow with little to no nausea at all. Today has been good so far...a little queasy but nothing as bad as the days before have been. Another thing I never thought would happen would be that I am expecting a child as I walk across that stage to accept my diploma. Tomorrow will be a great adventure that I'm sure to never forget.
To those of you graduating this weekend at Texas State; congratulations, you made it!!! I am so proud of you and proud to call you my friends!!!
Hope you all have a blessed weekend! Until next time...

i have reached the END
TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL EVER!!!
This week I have been observing(as much as I can when I haven't been sick) and today, December 5, 2008 marks the last day of school for me for a long time. :) I couldn't be happier!!! 2 weeks from today I will be graduating from Texas State University in San Marcos with Cum Laude honors. I never thought this day would actually come and it is right around the corner.
God has shown me and my family so much during this semester, actually throughout this whole year. My marriage, my family, my friends, everyone has been so supportive through all the good and all the bad times. The number one person I am so thankful to have in my life other than my Lord and Savior is Jeremy Denis Hellums. I could not have asked for a bigger fan that what he has been to me throughout my college career. He pushed me when I didn't want to go(often). He let me whine and cry to him when the tough times rose. Mostly, he prayed for me and with me day after day asking God to give me the strength to finish with all that I have. Student teaching prove the be the toughest of all my semesters. God taught me so so much during this semester and I feel like he has made me a different person through it. I never thought I would say this, but I think I actually have a bit of patience in my blood now. lol. Those of you who know me, know how much patience I have. :) I'm working on it OK.
Jeremy, thank you for your support and love and prayers and all your help with my projects and lessons. You are the best husband in the world. I am so blessed to have you in my life.
One other person that I must thank for helping me with my portfolio(tearing it apart by editing it, jk) is Alan. Thanks so much and thanks for creating that really cool rock cycle thing that my kids loved so much:). You are such a great friend!!
Well, it's time for me to get ready to go. I am off to go to my old class to return a journal and pick up some things. Hopefully I can get in a couple more observations(we will see how I feel). I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Look around and think about all the blessings God has given each and every one of you. God is good all the time and all the time God is good! *HUGS*
p.s. all my student teacher friends, I hope you all enjoy your last day and that you only shed tears of gladness cuz we are done ladies and gents. I'll see you all at 10am on December 19th!!!! WOOOHOOO

maybe this won't last forever...
morning sickness that is...
Today I feel much better!! Very pleased with the way I feel and I am looking forward to observing in some friends' classrooms today!! Hope you all have a blessed day. oh and if you think about it, could you please shout out a prayer for my friend Alan and his mother. They are going through some hard times and God is the only one who can truly help the situation. Thanks.
God Bless
