For 3 weeks Michael's Mother and I had been planning for me to drive to New Jersey and surprise Michael. It was sooooo much fun!!!
I arrived in the area around 3:00pm. There was a mall directly across from the restaurant were the surprise would happen! So I shopped a little bit and got a new skirt for the surprise!!!! Michael's Mom called me on the cellephone to let me know they were on the way. She pretended to be calling someone else.
So I dash out of the mall! If any of you have ever driven in New Jersey on route 46, you know there are GIANT CEMENT DIVIDERS that separate the roads! Well...I had to drive 2 miles before I could turn around! That drove me nuts!!
Michael's mom calls again when they get to the restaruant. I tell her I am next door at the jewerly store. She says she is near the bathroom and to come through the door and turn left. I met her and then went to change into my skirt.
Then the two of us walked back to the table. Michal's parents had sat Michael with his back to the door so he couldn't see me. I come around from the back and give in a hug. The funny thing was is that both Michael's Mom and myself had a denium jacket. He turns a little bit and can see his mother. So he spins around and see me! Oh if you could have see his face. His jaw hit the ground! It was sooooooooooooooooooooo funny!!! He had no idea that I had planned to visiting! Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha!!!
Everyone knew. His brother, sister, sister-in-law, sister-in-law's mother, his best friend, his Aunt. Everyone knew and evryone kept it a secret! It was too funny!!!

Getting Back to Normal
Hello Everyone!!
As many of you may or may not have know that I finished my job at CHPC. This is a good thing!!! While I really enjoyed the children and families at the church I was bogged down with the the admistrative stuff that I had to deal with. Admistrative stuff is not where my gifts lie.
Last week I spent an amazing week with my wonderful boyfriend Michael. I can't believe we almost known each other for a year. How time flys!!! It's amazing how we've both grown through our relationship!!!
I'm starting to get back to being my self again.For about 9 months, I have completly forgotton about people and all I cared or worried about was work. Work became my life. Which was not healthy. I never had time to do anything. Most of the time I was too tired to even write a letter to someone. I hardly ever smiled and was pretty much depressed most of the time. Through a class at Vineyard Community Church and the encouragement from Michael I was able to discover that my lack Boundries was hurting me. It took some guts to quit the job at CHPC but I am so glad that I did. It was not healthy place for me to be.
I am currently in training at Mad Science. Thing have been going well there! I can't wait to get started in classroom!!!
Today I babysat for a friend's children. They were so wonderful. We played games, read stories, and watched a movie. During the movie both children climbed onto my lap. The little one who is almost 2 fell asleep. She was so sweet. It just touched my heart!!!! I love children!!!! I am looking forward to having some of my own someday!!
That's all for now!!
Ciao,
Em

LAST DAY OF WORK!!!!!!
Today is my last day at CHPC. I am sad because I will miss the people here. I won't miss the overwhelming feeling of being busy all the time!! Yet, I shall be around!! I won't be going far mind you! I will still be in Cincinnati! So I'm sure that I will still stay friends with all the people here. Actually, I may get to spend more time with the people here, instead of being so tired and worn out all the time!!!
I wanted to post some of my favorite pics from the summer!!

I've really come to realize that teaching children is what I really love to do! While I like leading adults! I must rather lead children!!!!
