A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though
the weather that morning was questionable and clouds
were forming, she made her daily trek to the
elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the
winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her
daughter would be frightened as she walked home from
school and she herself feared that the electrical
storm might harm her child. Following the roar of
thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would cut
through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly
got into her car and drove along the route to her
child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl
walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the
child would stop, look up and smile. Another and
another were to follow quickly and with each the
little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.

When the mother's car drew up beside the child she
lowered the window and called to her, "What are you
doing? Why do you keep stopping?" The child answered,
"I am trying to look pretty. God keeps taking my picture."

May God bless you today as you face the storms that
come your way.

Kyle comes home tomorrow! I'm so excited. I have missed him, but I know that he has needed a vacation (just like I do) and I know that he has had fun with the guys. I'm just so ready to see him!!! I can't wait!

Well, thank goodness it's Friday. Payday!! And two paychecks at that. Well, I was suppose to get one on Wednesday, but today was the first chance I had to get it. They couldn't find my check at Publix today. I wasted half of my morning waiting for them to find it. Turns out it was in the manager paychecks. Too bad I don't get a manager salary for my troubles.

Tonight will be a busy night at the L&W. Not really looking forward to it. I'm still a little wishy-washy on some things and I'm taking on a cold, so I'm not feeling the greatest. But we'll see.

Stopped by Kyle's to feed the fish, and his grandpa said that he thinks they lost Jack. They let him out about 5 yesterday afternoon and haven't seen him since. I hope he is okay and is just roaming around...or either wandered back to Kyle's parent's house. It would just kill me if Jack was dead. Yeah, I know we could just get another cat, but Kyle and I have come to love Jack so much. He's like our kid. I do hope he's okay.

As for me, I'm going out of my mind. It's just driving me crazy that I can't talk to Kyle. He always wants to know how my day was and all, and it's driving me crazy that I can't tell him. I just miss him so much. Any song I hear makes me think of him, and I've been seeing people that are the same build as Kyle and think it's him for a minute and then realize...oh yeah, Kyle is in the mountains. I miss him so much. I'm ready for him to come home. Yeah, I know to some of you it must seem so sad for me to miss him so much, but is it so wrong to miss your best friend? Ughh.....

First day at the L&W today. It went fairly fast. I learned a lot. I still need to get the hang of a few things, but I'll learn fast. I'm just a little leary about counting down my own cash drawer....I'm spoiled at Publix and not having to do it. LOL. Payday is on Wednesday, so that is nice. A little extra cash in the middle of the week. And between Pulix and the L&W, I'm pretty much full time. I'm working Mondays thru Saturdays. Oh yeah. Finally a little extra cash flow.

I'm lonely this afternoon/night. Kyle is going out with some friends, and I get to stay home and be bored. I wish I had some money to go do something...I don't care. I guess I'll just be running on the treadmill, watching some TV, and going to bed early. Oh well. As long as I get to see him before he goes on his freikin' camping trip. I don't think I can handle a whole week without him. Well, I've done it before, but that doesn't mean I like it. Going a few days without seeing him is okay, because it makes the time that we finally get to see each other even better. But I'm going to miss him.

I started looking over my online class stuff. They start on Monday. They seem like they will be challenging, but I'm sure if I stay on top of it like I did my other online class, I will have no problem

Kyle and I took the bike for a ride today. We drove over to St. Augustine and spent a few hours there. St. Augustine is one of my favorite places. If, and when, we ever get married, I would like to get married there. Either on the beach or maybe at the chapel on Flagler's campus. That would be so cool. It was a nice drive though. Good weather for it. No rain at all.

I got to check out the Vera Bradley store they have. I can't wait to buy something!!! I also saw another rubby duckie store they have. When Kyle and I were down there two years ago, we saw this one store that had an old fashion bath tub full of small rubber duckies!!! I LOVED IT!!! And then a friend was telling me about this other store, and we saw it today. Maybe I'll buy a rubby duckie the next time I go.

Hopefully I'll get to go back this weekend, if I don't start at the Wine Shoppe. I was suppose to start today, but they pretty much just had me fill out paper work and W-4s. The secretary said the manager would get back with me for a starting date and schedule. She probably won't start me on Saturday, but I'm good for Monday. We'll see though. I really want to go to St. Augustine on Saturday, but if they want to start me on Saturday, then I'll do that. Starting pay is crappy, $6.70, but within three months, I'll get a review and a raise. It's not much, but combined with my paycheck at Publix, it'll be a decent amount. I can handle two paychecks.

I have a massive headache right now. As soon as we got back from St. Augustine I had to take two Excedrin migraine and lay down. My head was hurting so bad, I just started crying. I hardly ever get headaches that bad, but today I just happened to have one. I just feel horrible because I feel like it ruined mine and Kyle's trip. And I hate that because we don't really get much "us" time (where we aren't with everyone else). But I still had an awesome time despite this despicable headache.

The guys are having their meeting tonight for their camping trip. They are packing everything tonight, that way they don't have to open them until they get on the trail. I can't believe they leave in a week. This trip completely slipped on us. I'm just glad I'll be working because it will take my mind off missing Kyle.

I need to buy my books sometime. Guess I might go Friday morning before I have to go to work. That's about $200 wasted. But it'll further my education....LOL.
