Hey everyone!
Okay so I have SO many new updates, please bear with me! First of all, my well-bring practices are going really well which are spending time with kids, praying, and working out 3x's a week - this got way easier once it started getting nice out!
1) Death in the Fam
This past week was hard but good. Josh's step-grandfather (who was like a grandpa to him) died last Friday so this past week everything was thrown off because we attended the viewing Monday night and the funeral Tuesday morning, both in Winchester, so I had to miss some classes/assignments. My teachers were cool with it but it threw off my groove and now I am way behind :( I have 12 chapters, 2 articles, and 2 papers to write before tomorrow (please pray for a miracle!)
2) Josh's New Project
We just found out Josh got put on a project in Florida for work so he will be in FL Mon-Thurs every week and only be home on weekends and he leaves tomorrow :( It will be hard but I'm trying to focus on the positive sides of it like we will appreciate our time together more, we will be committed to praying for each other, our grocery bill will go down, etc. I'm only nervous about sleeping alone, I never have, even growing up my sisters and I would always sleep together so that will probably be the hardest. Please keep me in your thoughts/prayers for that!
3) I GOT A JOB!
I'm praising the Lord right now because I received a job offer before I even began the job search. I will be working as a Business Systems Specialist for the company I used to work for, my old boss offered me the job. It's not my dream job but it will be good money and my boss says he can work with me if I want to try and make some creative decisions in that position. It is such a huge blessing, I can't take any credit for it, obviously I didn't even apply, thank you Jesus!!
4) And since I got a job...WE ARE GETTING GRACIE!!!!!!
We are planning to move into to a bigger apartment at the end of June so we should be able to get Gracie early July, I am so excited and it's all I can think about!!! I wish we had her right now!!!
Heather - my friend just heard back from GMU about grad school via letter in the mail yesterday so you should be finding out really soon, you can even try calling! I really hope you get in! Hang in there! We are almost done. Be kind to yourself about not being a homework nazi but maybe try giving yourself small rewards when you finish assignments, like dessert or something, so you have incentive to finish! I'm so proud of you working on your relationships (especially with your Mom) that's tough stuff, but I believe you will be blessed by the work you put in.
Ariel- Congrats on your job! I'm hoping you can find a social work job too! I will also pray that your 20 page paper comes more easily than you expect and that you can enjoy writing it. Crazy as it sounds, I do believe that it's possible!
David - Sorry you got sunburned :( It sounds like you're making some serious headway in your yard though, that's not easy work. Make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated :)
So can we all safely plan to grab lunch at Chipotle in Fairfax Corner this coming Saturday, the 27th? Can we say around noon? I would love to catch up with y'all in person!
