School
So finals are over, well they have been over for me since Thursday, and I couldn't be happier. This semester was so rough on my grades I'm feeling really down as I look on WebCT at my final averages. By rough I mean I am getting a C this semester along with an A, B, and B-. No fun at all, but I'm almost finished with my undergrad, I'll graduate in December, and I'm looking forward to continuing in graduate school. I'm not sure if I will get my masters at GSU or if I will look into attending a seminary. I've got till December to put in my applications for Fall 08 so I have plenty of time to figure it out. I could always apply to both and see what happens. I'm taking classes during summer semester, and I'll only have two left to take this Fall. I'm very ready to be finished with school, well at least my undergrad, and moving towards doing the work that I have been longing to do for so long.
Work
Work is an interesting situation right now. I have worked this school year as a nanny for a 9 month old baby boy, and I have truly enjoyed it. Now his mom is able to get her work done while he naps, and probably isn't going to need me anymore. :( So I'll be looking for a new job most likely as a nanny. High dollar tax free income to play with children all day. I have nothing to complain about.
Family
Well, that's a whole different story. My brother is undergoing a bone marrow transplant this summer, and I am the donor. This is the reason that I am not going to be able to graduate this summer. I am leaving Monday to go and donate my stem cells to him so he can have a functioning immune system. I'll be missing a week of Maymester so I won't be able to get in the credit hours I need to be able to graduate this summer. My brother? He is tiring to live with. He is so miserable with his life, and he has been taking it out on the family. It hurts so much to see the way he treats my parents and the way he treats me. It is so hard to continue to fight for the relationship and not write him off as a lost cause. God has never written me off, so I will continue to pray for him and love on him.
Personal
Things with Kevin and I have never been better. Our relationship is in a solid place, and I am so happy. We have overcome so many obstacles in our relationship, but now we are strong and our relationship is pure. I am going to miss my small group this summer. Erika and Loren are going to Southeast Asia to be missionaries for 5 weeks, Ansley and Merrideth are going to Africa for 2 weeks to do missions work and I'm not really sure what Jo is doing. I'll miss them so much while they are gone, but I am so excited for the opportunity that each one of them have to serve God and take His gospel to unreached people. Kevin is leaving to go on a mission trip to Estonia a week after my birthday. He is lucky to be alive after his wreck two weeks ago. He was hit on the driver's side door by a drunk driver who ran a light at 10:00 AM. Kevin was on his way to church, and on the phone with me while I was in North Carolina, and I heard everything. I have never been so scared in my life, and I am so thankful that he is alright. He walked away with a few scratches, a large bruise on his shoulder, and a sprained thumb. On a lighter note my birthday is coming up in less than a month!! I'm looking forward to this one as it promises to be infinitely better than the last couple I have had. All in all life is good and I am enjoying having the house to myself for three months!! Did I mention that? Oh yeah, Mom, Dad and Bryan moved to North Carolina, Duke University Hospital, for three months during the most critical part of the transplant. They won't be back till August, so I'm home alone till August!!! I'm so excited!
