Trying to catch up!

Hey everyone! I can't beleive its been since April 2nd since I have blogged. April 2nd seems like forever ago but then again it seems like it was yesterday..this month is FLYING by!!! April is a busy busy busy month for my job and I just can't seem to sit down longer than two minutes to blog. So, here I am, on a Sunday morning blogging before church. My life is in complete fast forward mode.

It's IEP month. That means there are some stressed out school teachers right about now. We are in meetings after meetings and the countless paperwork carries on. This is my second year to do IEPs so I am just a little stressed out than the year before. Last year, I cried just about everyday. I was at school until 11:30 at night and on the weekends. I think this is where my grey hair is came from. This year has been different. I am writing a different type of IEP which has been kind of stressful and the state department likes to change everything I have already learned. Other than that, I have all the support I need. The one thing that is making all the difference is starting early and being organized. Organization is something that I struggle with but I feel like I am making progress.

Last weekend, I had my two bridal showers. All I can say is WOW. Adrian and I are so loved. I have been apart of many many weddings. But, when it's your own, there is something a little different. Like I said we are loved from many many people and we couldn't be blessed with better family or friends who support us so much.

April 19, 2013---- WE are exactly one month away from our big day. I can't say I am stressed out yet because I have been so busy with work. I am going to try my best not to spaz out before the wedding. I am in constant prayer for peace during this wedding time and I know the Lord has me taken care of.

Speaking of the Lord, my walk with Him is getting stronger. I have set aside my time with him everyday. It's just me and him. I've started the 40 day challenge and it is taking me to new places. You should defiantly try it!

Here are some pictures from my second shower. My phone was MIA for the first shower. Imagine that.

Autism: my letter to you



Today is World Autism Awareness today. If you want to know more autism, you can get your learn on  here.


Dear Autism,

 If you didn’t know, today is World Autism Awareness day. Not that you really care, but this day is all about YOU. Yes, you Autism, you have a WHOLE day for the world to recognize who you are. I think it will take much more than twenty-four hours to tell the world about you. 

I see you on good days, bad days, sick days, and just about every day. You are every where I go. I notice puzzle pieces on a daily basis. I am always thinking of another way for you to understand me. 

You’ve broadened my mind and completely opened my heart. You make me slow down and look at everything in many different ways. Oh Autism, you have taught me more than I could ever teach you. My days wouldn’t be the same without you. 

You are very mysterious. A lot of people have many different theories on how you came about and why are you becoming more and more common. I have my thoughts but honestly, does that matter? I wouldn't trade you for the world. 


Forever grateful,

Scotti
