ONE YEAR! YAY!

So now we've been married for over a year. It has gone by SO fast! It's kind of been just a whirlwind year. I really like school (one of the few) and I want to get my Masters while we are here and getting school paid for but at the same time I'm getting anxious to find a church and get our full time ministry started and get settled. Its getting kind of annoying to juggle work, school and ministry schedules. Right now it's not too bad because it's summer and I'm not working right now, which is a much needed break. However, it is already the end of June and I know that August 18 (first day of fall classes) is going to come fast. I'm happy that this fall semester 4 out of my 5 classes are DLP so that I can work more. DLP classes are so much easier to manage even though they claim to be more intense since they are only 8 weeks long. I don't think they are at all. There are way less assignments. Thats why I'm taking my left-over classes DLP (meaning the classes I should have taken way before now and now don't want to take on campus with freshman who are dumb.) haha. I'm taking 2 englishes, a computer class, and a Bible class DLP, then a womens ministry (instead of pastoral leadership for youth majors who are girls) on campus because its only offered on campus with Dr. Towns' wife. All in all, it should be a pretty breeze-by semester other than Bible 350. Summer classes definitely helped with that! I'm still not sure what to get my Masters in. I have to go talk to Dr. Barker soon. He's an amazing prof!

I filled out my graduation application last week which was pretty exciting. It's crazy to think that I'm so close to finishing my undergrad. I remember being so nervous to come to Liberty on my own and now I'm almost finished. I've made so many great friends. I met my husband. I've learned so much. I've grown so much closer to God. So many great things have come from here. I'm not that anxious to leave Lynchburg... I like it here alot. I'm just ready to settle down somewhere. I can't wait to get a house and be able to paint it and decorate it how we want without having to worry about landlords and all that fun stuff. I want to get a puppy, or at least a fish. I want to have more than just a small apartment. I know its all part of "starting out" but I'm ready to be started and on our way. I'm looking forward to having kids too, but definitely not too anxious for them anytime soon.... maybe 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 years down the road. Just kidding. Not that far... but not this soon either. I don't really know what I'd do with a baby right now... I guess just watch it sleep.

Well, my amazing husband just told me that we now have plans tonight and I have to leave in 15 minutes and I'm not exactly ready to go right now, so I'm going to go get ready to leave.

PS. I think it's funny sometimes when people over spiritualize things to the point where you and everyone else have absolutely no idea how they connected the points and related them together to make something spiritual out of it. Sometimes it's just better to KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. (My mom would always say that... well not always, but she's where I heard it from.)

Well, I'm pretty much just sitting here waiting for Rob to finish his homework so that we can go to bed. I tried getting a lot of work done today... I got lots of laundry done, speaking of, I need to put the last load in the dryer before going to bed, can't forget. I tried to get homework done, but I was just not registering what I was reading. So.... forget it. I'll finish tomorrow. Next week I am not watching any TV, because I have a ton of work to get done. I have to start and finish my Romans paper, then start my Sociology class. There is a lot of reading in that class, but I'm really excited because it looks really interesting. It's Sociology Issues, so it's about a lot of stuff that I will be, or already have been dealing with while working with youth. Yay! Rob is done! I'll write more later! I'm going to bed!! My eyes burn.
