Growth

I feel I am growing as a individual. I am learning things about myself and how to change them. I am learning from the people in my life. I'm thankful for the people in my life. I feel like I am truly growing into an adult. I am learning how to forgive. Some things that in the past that have kept me from seeing the impact certain people have made in my life are no longer issues. From my fiancee' I'm learning to be selfless instead of selfish. The thing I really love about him is how it seems like he gives wholeheartedly. It almost amazes me. Truly. It seems like he always puts others before himself. This is something I have yet to master. I need to learn to be concerned for others more than myself. From him I am also learning how to love someone else. From him I am learning the importance of family. I'm learning forgiveness. For example it's father's day and my father has not been around since I was younger. I'm not at the point where I can totally forgive him but I feel like I am starting to not use it as a source of anger or of not caring. I'm starting to look at things from a different angle. It's a continual process. Growth.

Life (Caution: May be boring)

Being the self proclaimed insomniatic that I am and having not written a blog in a while here goes.
I am currently in summer school for my final semester as a undergrad. I graduate July 29th and I must say I'm excited. Another thing that I'm excited about is being accepted into graduate school at Avila University. There I plan to get my masters in Counseling Psychology and become a Licensed Professional Counselor. But in the meantime, I have a few things to get done: 1. Get my license this month 2. Get a car 3. Get a job (to pay for grad school) 4. Attend grad school. I am on a time limit because I want to have goals 1-3 done before grad school starts at the end of August.
On to other things. The fiance' and I are good. Still need to set a date for the wedding and what not. The fam keeps saying we need to set a date and start getting stuff together. What I'm concerned with is the money. Nothings free. My fiance' has bills he's paying loans, phone bill, car note, and other stuff. He can't really afford to move out. When I wanted to discuss ways he could save money and setting a date. He got all mad talkin bout he dont want me telling him what to do with his money. That was not my intent. I really just want us to start somewhere. I will contribute when I get a job. He acts like he can't start by his self. It frustrates me because I think that he is being kind of prideful. If I was the only one with income I would start saving for OUR future. I don't understand his issue. We've been engaged for a little over a year and have nothing accomplished not even a date set.
