Opposites

This post is about opposites...

I'm happy and sad today - I just got back from working with my 1st grade reading student for the last time this semester.  I am incredibly sad that I won't get to see this little guy twice a week anymore.  At the same time, I am ecstatic about the progress he made over the semester.  I remember days when I left crying, but there were many days when I left laughing or with a warm heart because he said something completely off the wall funny or drew a picture of us and said I could keep it.  While working with this little guy caused me quite a bit of stress over the semester, he brought so much joy and happiness to my life at the same time.

I blame it on the rain that I'm in an, "Oh my gosh I'm freaking out about graduating" mood today...I'm sad that my last semester of classes is coming to an end...I'm sad that I don't know that all of the people who are in my life right now will be in my life as much a year from now.  I love the people in my life!  God has truly blessed me with a great support system through college, and I can only hope I have been able to help, support, and encourage the people in my life as they have for me.

To continue with the opposites, I'm doing Days 11 and 12 of the picture challenge together.  They are pictures of something I hate and something I love...

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate

Yes, I know this is a tough picture to look at, but it's real.  And this is something I hate.  Children who are starving.  Children who have no family.  Children who do not know what love is.  Children who go to bed hungry at night.  Children who die because they do not get the nutrition they need.  This breaks my heart.  If this doesn't break your heart or make you feel sad in some way shape or form, there is something wrong.  I wish it were possible to feed all of the children in the world...wait, it is possible, because we all have way too much and more than we need...so why are there children like this in the world?

Day 12 - A picture of something you love

Old people, specifically old couples.  I love them, a lot.  I love seeing them together, wondering what they have been through in their lifetime together, seeing how much they love each other, and hoping for the same thing one day.  I want to be a part of a cute old couple one day :)

Ok, I'm adding more pictures of what I love...obviously I love Zach, a lot :) 

 I love having him in my life...

I love being in love with him...

 I love how he makes me feel...

 I love how I have found the person who makes me feel like no one else ever has or ever will...

I love not being able to imagine my life without him!

Thank you Kasee for taking our pictures and incorporating Scrabble tiles :)
