Time

So I've now been accepted to PCOM's PA program and they're quick! I had my interviews, received my acceptance and their financial package all in the same month...some schools can have you dragging on for months. I'm still waiting to hear from Emory University's financial board...Can you belive that for two years, I will have paid them for a Masters in a field that I love, the same amount I paid Drexel for ONE friggin year for a degree I could've gotten anywhere else!!!??? But bless God it's over, it was necessary for me to come here and learn what I did so I won't complain {out loud} anymore lol.

I cannot believe how time is slipping away...within 50 days I will be a college graduate, within 3 months my neice will be 6 years old and my god-son will see his 1st Birthday!!, in less than 2 months another life will be born, within a year Nix will be back in the states and possibly married, and a lil less than 6 months, the Mr and I will celebrate 1 year together {even though I fought it tooth and nails lol lol lol} but hey, he's a Jones :-)

I'm happy about it all and the growth that I can see not only in myself but also in those who are around and near and dear to my heart. I can't wait to see what the future holds for all of us, God does His thing so I'll just sit here, do my part, and watch what he comes up with next.

Daddy Talks

So I took *him* home this weekend...it was only supposed to be a quick trip in and an even faster one out. Not really sure what I was nervous about but it takes alot to impress my parents and although I say it doesn't really matter what any one says, who wants to deal with the uncomfortableness of not having your family approve of the man in your life? Surely, not me because my mother does not hold her tongue from me :-( but anyway i digress....
So he absolutely NEEDED me to get my nails done before we went because it just doesn't look right for him to take me home with "shabby nails like no-one loves me" lol. Well he and I along with my FATHER and BROTHER went to the autoshow in the city, they actually bonded really well, the talked about cars and he talked about construction and plumbing with my dad and video games with my brother {it's amazing how men never really stop being boys lol}.
My mom actually really liked him and she made us dinner and forced us to stay the night :-O!!! That only happened with one guy so it shocked me that she was ok with this...
So they never really told me what they thought, but my dad drove us back to philly and after we dropped him off, i asked my dad what he thought and he actually shocked me.
He said he was 'ok' {for my dad that's a good thing..damn jamaican lol}, because i felt unsure still I had to fish around a lil more, so I said, yeah he's not like the last one but he's really sweet and then daddy got mad a lil bit and let me have it. Here's how he broke me down to me:
1st- I needed to stop trying to compare the two because that's never healthy and learn that I will never be able to find the same person twice.
2nd-"I didn't really care for him too much anyway" his exact quote. Now I never knew this but he said he could see how the relationship was going and realized that I had invested too much more in something that my other half didn't.
3rd-Here's where it hit...Marriage is an institution founded and ordained by God. He meant for it to happen and He knew when he formed the man who his wife would be and so the whole process is orchestrated by Him. "Your so busy thinking of him as your Prince Charming that you cannot even stop to process and understand that if he were there was not a devil in hell that could have broken it up and not leave any life" With that I took a deep breath, stared out the window and...let it go.
4th-The problem he said with most women: I need to learn to just be happy! If its in a good place and looks promising just build on that, edify my foundation so that I do not become a hazard to his and should this be the actual will of God, then I do not sit in error and be at fault at revolting my blessing!

Thanks Daddy, I'll sit on these words for a lil while
