So I'm stressed
Yes, I'm stressed today. Not sure why. Probably the millions of life transitions that will not only happen within the next month, but also the coming year.
To name a few:
Really soon transitions include...
In exactly 1 month, my internship will be over--I hate leaving places, I will miss it here. And I will cry.
I'm leaving Scott in Iowa--Again, I hate leaving places with ones I love, I will miss Scott dearly. And yes, I'll cry more.
I have my final eval for internship done, but haven't even begun my Approval Essay for ordination that is seemingly 12-15 pages long.
We have engagement photos Aug. 1--hopefully I don't look too fat for them.
Scott has to meet my family yet.
Scott and I have appointments with Pastor Dufur, reception halls, and photographs...all in one week in Aug.
We don't have a wedding budget.
Callie will become a city kitty in Chicago, with a new doggy roomate named Jonah!
Approval Interview in October.
I need to find a job in Chicago, yuck.
So more transitions...decisions:
Who to have in my wedding. I have a good idea for the most part. I'm going to go with family and friends who have really been there for me. Kept in contact, remained a part of my life on a regular basis. Friends that fade into the shadows don't need to be in my wedding.
Scott is applying to graduate school and taking the GRE.
We won't know what grad school he's accepted to until the Spring & we won't know what Synod I'm called to until that time either.
May 20, 2007--I graduate from LSTC.
Wedding on June 9, 2007
Transition to married life--moving from Chicago to Fort Dodge after the wedding if we have a gap between my graduation and first call.
Move to only God knows where for my first call & Scott's grad program.
Man, I feel like I could throw up right now...I hate not knowing where life is heading...I need to reassure myself that things WILL work out and be okay. Somedays, my head literally wants to spin. I need to trust God more with this. And not worry so much. I don't need to worry. Not this much at least. Scott didn't feel his interview for a promotion at the prison went well. He wants to go into a grad program for some sort of Masters Degree in administration....within schools or more likely as an Urban & Regional Planning. Its a 2 year program. I just want this to work out. I want him to be satified with work. I want him to succeed at whatever he does in life.
So...for you Bradley Grads!!!!?!? DOes Craig Fitzpatrick teach at Bradley now? My sister has him for theory this fall. Weird.
Ok, that's enough for now.
