Blogging at work???

So this is probably the most frowned upon thing in the world but I am at work and have nothing else to do. I started work as a speech assistant 1 day a week in Plainview Texas.....yes, I said Plainview! It is about an hour north of Lubbock so you can imagine it is not the most hopping place. However, they have TONS of kids and I mean tons of kids who need speech therapy and they are paying me really well for the mileage so I thought, why not! The only downside is that I don't really know what to do yet and the girl that is doing all of the scheduling isn't here yet so I am literally sitting here with not a thing to do! Oh well I am sure when she gets here we will be more than busy enough.

It has been nice to be back in Lubbock, sleeping in my own bed and cooking in my own kitchen. The cool weather is AWESOME too! I forgot that it is actually nice in the summer in some places! School starts back for me next Thursday but my internship number 2 is in full swing and so is my job. I am hoping that once I throw school into the mix I don't freak!! I have been super spoiled and haven't worked at all since I have been in grad school until now. I think it will be a good thing for me to have to prioritize my time and be super organized.

Next up on my agenda is a bachelorette party in Dallas for a close friend and I am super excited! More to come later....but I am feeling guilty for my work blogging and think I need to do something else! I will leave you with a pic of Plainview so you can visualize the country life I live on Wednesdays!

Goodbye summer....see you next year!

I cannot believe it but today was my last day of my internship! It was a little stressful at times but was an overall GREAT experience. I learned so much and had such a good time with all my co-workers. I was sad to say goodbye today! We are leaving a week from Saturday to move back to Lubbock where we have about 8 months left of school. I am really excited to see where life takes us next. As expected, we have about every night booked with seeing people and getting some last minute hang out time with people before we head west! I have had so much fun here this summer and am so glad things worked out like they did allowing us to be here.

On a different note: This is probably old news to a lot of people but I just read Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers and it was AMAZING! Probably one of the best books I have ever read. It was such a great reminder of God's love for us. We haven't really been that connected to a small group or anything this summer and I was craving a bible study! I was really needing a good book like that!

Bethany and Cody came last weekend to hang out with us at my parent's house (they have been out of town for 2 weeks) and we had SO much fun! We laid out......played games....went to a movie....went to brunch and lots of other fun stuff. I love them and WILL find a way for us to all live in the same city someday. I cannot imagine life for too much longer without the Girods being in it.

I will leave you with a few pics of out weekend with them. I didn't really think to take any pics until they were leaving so these aren't really interesting at all. Enjoy. Me & Betho right before they left. SO sad so to see them go! Betho & Cody about to leave.

I made the guys take this cheesy little pictures.....they got back at me by giving me those cheesy little smiles.

Happy Late B-day Mom!

Although this post is late my Mom's b-day & her importance to me is not forgotten! I meant to blog the night of her b-day dinner but had either food poisoning or the worst stomach bug known to man! I spent the night of her B-day dinner and the following day sicker than I have ever been close to being in my entire life. I lost 7 pounds in less than 2 days...which would be awesome but it is all back already!

Anyway, I have the best mom anyone could ever ask for. I have been so lucky and blessed my entire life to have a mom who cares like mine does. She has stuck through a lot with me and has always been my biggest fan and encourager. She has had so much faith in me through all of my schooling and I don't know what I would do without her. The best part of my relationship with my mom now is that she is one of my best friends! I love being all grown up and having that kind of relationship with my mom! We have so much fun together and I know we have years to come of awesome memories! I Love You Mom!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!

On a different note, our time in Houston is coming to an end. I am excited to get back into the swing of things in Lubbock & finish this end stretch of grad school! I am also excited that as of March 2010 I will be done with ALL my comps and Licensing exams! Oh what a glorious day that will be when I am Kayla Agan, MS CCC-SLP! But I am going to miss my family like crazy!!!

Speaking of grad school.....Lance is looking into applying for an internship with the US Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs. This is an AMAZING opportunity and could ultimately lead to him working for the US Olympic Committee! However, if he gets this Internship he will have to move to Colorado Springs in January-May. This means I will be in Lubbock by myself for my last semester & it is quite the depressing thought. I really want Lance to do this if it is what he is supposed to do, however I am going to have a hard time. We won't even find out if he gets this internship for several months, however we could use all the prayers we can get! This is going to be a hard decision if it comes down to it. It's funny how life is.....so far in our marriage we keep having to make decisions that require us to move farther and farther away from the people we love. I know God will bless us wherever we are, but I have to admit that when we got married and moved to Houston I really thought we would be there for a long time. Maybe we will maybe we won't but I am starting to think I am going to have to adopt the idea "blossom where your planted" b/c I may be being "planted" in some strange places over the next several years.

Ok I have rambled on long enough.....thanks for the prayers in advance!
