Holy cow, I am so excited.  My meeting with the pregnancy center went REALLY well. I love the atmposphere, the people there and their mission in helping others. It is exactly everything I feel like I want in a job some day.  It is a pro-life Christian based center which is really important to me because my faith in Christ is what helped me through my pregnancy, my decisions and He's what made my life what it is today.  I want to be able to share that with others and provide hope that they can have to help and hope in a better life too. 

There are alot of ways I can lend my time there but I told them that if it was possible I would like to help counsel clients and they said my experience with my pregnancy and as a birthmom will be valuable in helping others.  There is only one other birthmom volunteer they say and I hope to meet her, that's another reason I wanted to go there was to meet others who understand what I'm going/been through. I have to go through training to counsel though, and that doesn't start until March, so until then I just help around the office and little things whenever I can.  I am just super excited about all this, this is exactly where my heart and passion is.  We do however have to go through the aspects of abortion as well because every pregnant woman shoud know all her options, and I agree, but it still will be hard presenting all the information and the fact that the woman might go through with it. 

And oh my goodness, it's a beautiful day! It feels like spring outside which is extremely wierd since yesterday it was SNOWING.  Weird weather here. But it's a clear, blue sky day and I love it.  I had to stand/sit outside for the bus and it was just beautiful and warm, it's these kinda days I feel like rejoicing all day because of it's beauty and I just feel Him close.  Speaking of the bus, I hate riding it.  It's not riding it, it's the bus stops. I am alone, on the side of a busy road standing by a sign and it's scary.  I am so afraid some one will stop or something.  I hate it. I think I might be silly and ride the bus to get my car (that's a familar place and usually more people are there), drive there, volunteer, drive it back and then ride the bus back to school again.  I am that paranoid about it. And on the bus, this very nice but old obviously poor guy sat next to me and started conversations. He was nice but it just kinda makes me uncomfy thinking that these people will know my route and where I get off everyweek.  I'm just paranoid and I don't like it!

Also today, on my way to class, I got on the elevator, it stops on the next floor down and walks in a friend from WORK.  Work is not anywhere near here, in fact, almost 4 hours away!  So both of us were in shock with our mouths wide open and so excited to see each other. What a small world sometimes, I love it.  A great start to my morning and the happiness obviously flowed through the rest of my days :-)

Tonight is CRU! with Mark and hopefully Jessica, which I MAY be getting an apartment with next year. Whew, exciting week this has become :-)  Yea, the bad thing about counseling training: it's thursdays 5-8:30.  Thursday at 8:30 is the time for CRU, which basically means I will miss it because of riding the bus back. That really sucks but I'll be ok.  It wont last but for a few weeks and it will be worth the time I can give to others.  And there is always church on Sundays to uplift my soul! 

I get to home TOMORROW! It was a last minute kinda decision but I am so excited, I haven't seen them in at least 3 weeks.  And...Mark is coming with me (he hasn't met my dad's side yet).  I know they will love him. I feel like he'll fit right in with his love of bacon, videogames, football, and most of all God. He's just a good guy all around.

WEE!  Okey, time to get serious about some studying before CRU.
