Deal

Finally somewhat got this new blog going! I have one follower Amanda! So this is for you!

I changed the name to our blog. It's Operation Sage's. Cheesy I know, but it's our life. I have tried to kind of tried to lay off being so open about being a military wife, and Jono being gone. I don't want people to get sick of hearing about it. Or get the wrong idea.  But this is a blog and it's about my life so I guess if people get sick of it they will stop reading right? So welcome to Operation Sage haha :) as cheesy as it is!

So as most of you know I was planning to student teach this fall. I have gone to GREAT lengths to get into a class at USU (UTAH STATE) ya weird I know. Well got into eventually after hours on the phone and multiple people begging to put me in the class. I got onto the waiting list to find that it's not the right class and it won't count for the credits I need.  I found this out yesterday afternoon. I bawled, bawled like Brinn cries when she hit her head, I cried like a five year old when they want that barbie and they can't get it. Not only for a couple minutes but hours. I talked to Amanda for an hour and cried and screamed and freaked out about it. It was a mess, why, why after all I have done. Why now. To be completely honest I was very upset all I wanted was Jono I just wanted to cry to him, I just wanted him home. I was angry that he had to be away that I have to do every single little thing alone always ALONE.

However after a good council with Amanda we came to the conclusion that it's not our choice. God makes the Path.  Can't he just call me and be like "ah hey Nicole I just wanted to tell you I really don't want you to take that class not in my plan". "Ok God thanks!" haha I'm jk. It would be easier...So i just spent some talking asking what I can do to feel at peace. TRUST.  Amazing how his little plans work out. I was actually planning to babysit for the family that I nanny for in the summer. SO as I'm crying I realize well if I can't get this class it puts me back a semester. I can just nanny this summer instead of taking 18 credits and just relax until my husband comes home. I am so happy with that and totally at peace with this. It's not the end of the world I have a great family, a stinking cute husband ;), and the most perfect daughter. I'm so happy, they can't take that away from me. Iowa State can make me go another semester, make me pay more money. They can't take my degree away though and they can't take the credits I already have. This is what my mama always told me "They can take your house, and your cars and all the material possessions, but they can't take your degree babe so keep plugging away." I know she is amazing :)


'Through the storms we go through, it's the grace that we get at the end of the rainbow that is worth it. It's the outcome and the end result and what we learn. What we gain from each is experience. This year has brought me to that conclusion. Just a storm it too will pass. So I just keep thanking God for the experiences he is given me this year! He knows me better than anyone and will continue to Bless us! God is Good!
