"Oh, how daily life is" (Jules Laforgue)

It's difficult to remember to blog because I feel like my life is so boring. Not much has changed since I last wrote. I'm still just working and going to school. I'm on track to do my internship next summer and will graduate with my BSW in August 2011. Its nice to finally see the end in sight. This semester I decided to take it easy and am only taking two classes. I got a second job babysitting for a family with three children, two of whom have Downs Syndrome. It was a difficult adjustment at first, but the kids are finally used to having me around. I adore them. The little boy, Connor (3 years old), calls me "Dee-Becca." It's so cute. He had a conversation with his parents the other day that went something like this: "Jesus loves me. So do Mommy and Daddy. And Dee-Becca...she loves me too." My heart melted when I heard this. Those little kids make me so happy. It's nice to know I can gain the affection of children who aren't in my family.

Spring Break is this week, so I took advantage of it by going to the coast this weekend with some friends from San Marcos. Despite the chilly weather, I had a great time. It was nice to get away and spend time with people I don't know all that well. I really enjoyed myself (I was tagged in some pictures on Facebook if you want to see them). Then this morning I volunteered at a half marathon. It was an incredible experience; I wrote about it in my personal blog, if you're interested.

This has just been a great week. Mom was here, Laney was born, and I made some amazing new friends. I'm feeling really good about life right now.

I love you all and hope you're doing well.
