Easter!

Well today was Easter, a time to celebrate that Jesus is Alive. A time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus out of the tomb. I got to go back to my gram's church and it was really nice to be back. I also got to go to gram's for dinner with the family. It was pretty good, but one thing about my family is that they can only focus on one thing, and my cousin was the focus of the day. I am not jealous, but I think that when you dont see family members for a while and try to catch up, they should acknowledge that person. With the family only able to focus on one thing at a time, you might as well join in the conversation or not talk at all.

One thing about Easter, I was sad I didnt get to spend time with the love of my life. I think part of the reason I was mad today was because I was sad I didnt get to spend a special holiday with my sweetheart. I will get to see her either the weekend of the 17th or the weekend after that, either way I cant wait to see her and move in with her so we can start our life together full time.

So, I have a few weeks left of work and I hope to work alot to try to make good money for the last couple pay checks. I want to be able to have money as soon as I move in with Clair to pay for at least 1 or 2 bills right away. I want to help as much as possible until I am able to find a job. I want to make all of Clairs dreams come true with us living together and will work my booty off to make it happen.

Well graduation is coming up soon and student teaching is about over. I have only 15 days left until I am done teaching, I just hope they move quick, so that I get things packed and ready to move. I am ready to graduate and get out of Buckhannon, and WV in general. WV is a beautiful state but there is no money in the area, and PA has so much more to offer. Well that is all I can think of so I will talk to you later. LOVE YOU

Update

Hey,
Well missed my first day of school since student teaching due to stupid Food Poisoning. I threw up everything I took down, even water, and now I am sitting on the pot. It has been about 3 hours and things are calming down, so I think I about have it all out of my system. Thank Goodness I am 2 days ahead of schedule. Well that was the bad news, but now on to the more exciting stuff.

I get to see my beautiful Fiancee today and stay with her this weekend. I am gonna take care of her and do some chores so she can get rest for the week ahead. I love spending time with her and cant wait until we live together. I am so happy to have her and I wouldnt change any decision that I have made to have her back. I know that is sounds corny that I am just so happy, but I really hope that she is as happy as I am. I know we both want to get married and hope that it can happen soon.

So my mom was talking to me about Clair and I getting married. I havent talked to Clair about it yet, but I will tell her today when I see her about what my mom said. Well, my mom said asked me how me and her would think about an August Wedding this year. I told her that we have some things that we would like to do. I told her that we both dont want a big wedding, so she is gonna make a list of some people that she thinks would actually come. I told her that between the two of us, try to keep it below 100 together. I know that Clair doesnt want a big wedding and I am the same. There are family I only see once in a blue moon, so why invite them. Mom did say that those are the people that give the biggest gifts, though. LoL.

So, anyway, I am hoping to talk to Clair and see what she thinks. My parents and family really love Clair and I am glad that I am with someone that my family loves as much as I do. I just hope that her family can get used to me, and love me as part of thier family too.

So, I am still have more to say! I applied for a $250,000 grant from pepsi to try to open a youth center in the Somerset Area. I really hope I can get a job, so that I dont have to be a househusband. I wouldnt mind doing that, but I know that I really want to help provide for Clair and have us work together to provide for each other. I would love for me to work to open a youth center cause there isnt even a YMCA within the area. I really care for kids and want to give kids another option than drugs, alcohol, or just bad behavior. That would be a great dream of mine to open that, but if that isnt a possibility I would just like to get a good job so me and Clair dont have to worry about money. I know that once I move it will take me alittle bit to get a job, but I will work hard to get what I can.

I cant think of much else to talk about, but I just pray that things continue to work out like it has been. I think everything has worked out good so far, and I plan on keeping it that way.

Great Weekend

So.....

This weekend I help my darling move into her new home for now, but soon to be our new home. On Friday we got everything done and used some time left over to just be together. Well, I was hoping to propose to my sweetheart and ask her to be with me forever. It didnt quite turn out how I wanted it, I wanted to do it on Saturday when we would spend our first night in our new home. I was gonna take her out to a nice resturant, then propose when we got home. But I just felt like doing it on Friday because we were alone and ready to start our new lives.

I am sorry that it wasnt as special as it could have been, but I promise to have more romantic things. I have plans, but I just want to wait until we can make a whole weekend out of the plans. I have some ideas and I know that things will be ok, and she will be surprised when I do it, cause she will never know when anything is coming.

Then, on Saturday, we went to the apartment to get things fixed and make everything official. We hooked up the TV and found out there is still cable there for now, which is good, cause it gave us something to do for a while. Then we decided to go bowling, and Clair and I really enjoyed that. She did beat me one game, which had to be my last game, but I didnt mind. We just had the best time we could ever have, I enjoyed everything.

When we got to the bowling alley, I found that my cousin Phil and Gina were there with their kids. After bowling they took Clair and me out to Summit Diner to get milkshakes and just talk about things. I had a good time talking and having good shakes, and I hope Clair did too.

I cannot wait until Clair Collins becomes Clair Nau, and I cannot wait until I graduate so I can move in with my life partner and we can enjoy ourselves everyday as we did this weekend. I love you sweetheart and I cant wait to live with you.

Immature Students

Immature Students just bust my bubble!!

Well we had a guest speaker today in my health class for 7th and 8th grade. Well the first classs was the best class of the day, they were very good and participated appropriately.

Then came the second and third periods, The second period class didnt listen and didnt take my student evaluations seriously. Ok, so that doesnt bother me soo much, I knew that would happen with some class.

On third period, They made jokes of what was being discussed and acted immature and was the worst people we could ever be. They were very disrespectful to the guest speaker and didnt learn a thing other than how to make fun of SEX. I am really wondering do kids today have any moral or values, I dont think so! Most kids dont have parents today that can teach their kid how to be respectful and act appropriately, so that mean it is up to us teachers. I am really hating parents who want kids, but dont act like it.

I hope that when Clair and I become parents we teach our kids the value of respect in this world, and I am sure we will because we are both teachers and have experienced bad parenting so we know what not to do. Well it is about our lunch, which has been cut short due to schedule change due to weather, but things will be ok.

I LOVE YOU CLAIR ELLEN COLLINS!! :)

Snow!!

When you have snowfall that is the most it has been since before I was born, it makes it hard to prepare for this. It is hard to prepare for snow when you havent gotten more than a foot all winter for the past 15 years or more! I moved into a house clear back in the woods not worrying about snow because we havent had alot come down at once in many many years.

I am very mad because I am afraid I wont be able to get out today, when I have an interview for a management position. I am afraid to call and say I cant make it due to snow because I havent been able to make it many other days due to the snow. I figured I will at least try to get out and see how far I can get before I get stuck. I have to say that things are crazy this winter, many things have happened that I had prayed would, and it did.

What do I mean by this? Well first lets start with the first thing I had hoped, and I had hoped that I would get a house and move out of my dorm room and away from the college. Well in mid-november this happened, and I have even gotten a job to help pay my bills and I have even gone ahead of my bills except for stupid verizon which wont accept my online payments, dumb. Secondly, I prayed for Clair and I to get back together, and through all that I went through and messed up, it happened! Which I am very excited about, and cant wait to spend the rest of my life with her. Third, I prayed that I would be moving on to the next area with the love of my life, and I know that I have been being prepared to leave my church.

How has this been happening? What has been being prepared? Well, first off I was wondering what I would do about youth, cause I love those kids and being up in the youth service. Well, after about the beginning of the year we discussed about me staying down on the floor to focus on revival and not have to worry about youth, so that took care of that. Secondly, what to do about the revival, how will it go with out anyone taking anniciative but me? God has told me to sell this revival to the church and make them want to be a part of it, so that is what I have done and hasnt quite taken affect yet, but Pastor said, "these people are slow about catching on to things." So, they will begin to focus more once I am gone. Third, What about the bible study I run? Well there is a new couple who just came to the church that used to run a youth bible study at the last church they were at, so they can take over. Lastly, Where would me and my sweetheart go, we dont have a place? Just this past month me and Clair went and looked at apartments because she got a full time job in Somerset, PA, so these past 2 weeks she found the one that she liked, so she will be having her own place soon, so that is a possibility to move in there with her.

Well the Lord is treating me and Clair really well. He has answered both our prayers and things are excellent in our relationship, at least from my point, but I think she is happy too. Thanks for reading my Blog and hope it keeps you entertained and shows how God can answer prayers and always prepares us for something new.

To the love of my life

So.....

I have never had a blog before so I have no clue what to write or what I am suppose to put. But, I wanted to write down my feelings to my beautiful soon to be wife. I wanted to just express how I feel towards her and how she makes me feel.

So......

My love is the one who makes my life complete, she is the one that keeps me going throughout my life. She is the woman of my dreams, the one that I never thought I would receive, but God Blessed us together the first time & I had messed it up. But, through God we were given a second chance, and this is a chance that has brought us closer together than ever before. I am sure that I drive her crazy sometimes with my high sex drive and other little things, but when we are together we forget all our difference and just enjoy our time together.

Clair is so special to me that I want nothing more than for her to be my wife til death due us part. I feel that sometimes she doesnt deserve, because she is so smart, beautiful, and everything that I never thought I could get. She is really, honestly, everything I have ever dreamed up. And it just seems to good to be true, but I know that God has awesome things planned for us and I cannot wait for them to start.

I want to be here for her and support her the best to my ability. I know that it wont be easy for me and her at the beginning, but I know that we will eventually get ahead of the game and be fine. She has already gotten a job and I want her to keep that job, because where she is at she will be set for life. I am just afraid that it will be very hard for me to get certified, and I dont want her to have to be the one to support me. I know that her family wouldnt be happy about that, plus I would feel bad about having to have her work hard to make the money while I am home being househusband. I know that I will be preaching around places once I get that certification too, and that will help bring in money, plus I will substitute teach. But how long will I have to survive off of subbing for 1 year, 2 years, 3, who knows!

All I know is that I want Clair Ellen Collins to become Clair Ellen Nau!! I want nothing more than for us to make a wonderful family together and be great parents. I know that things will work out, but I just hope that she knows I am working as hard as I can and will continue to work as hard as I can to support you and everything you do! I love you Clair forever and always, til death due us part!
