Randomness

Well its all over. College is officially done. Can I tell you the saddest thing ever? I went to my apartment today to pick up some of the things that I had left that my wonderful roomie had pulled out for me and there are strangers there. I had to ask to use things! After living there for a full year now that just seemed strange. Today has continued the job hunt and we have a few potential leads. Now I need to decide about grad school asap. Grrr. I am not good at making decisions.
Now onto exciting news. Jeremy and I got the house! Things are looking very positive and it looks like we will be able to close on it in about 2 weeks. Isn't that crazy? It will be my own home that I will live in with Jeremy. Yikes! That excites my heart and scares me significantly all at the same time. But I can't wait to decorate and paint and make it ours. I am still working like crazy on wedding stuff. I have an appointment with the caterer today at 3:30 for us to finalize some things. This does not all seem real. Jeremy and I have had a really good couple days together. It makes me excited for the future. We had lunch together today and there is just something special about it. I always wanted to be one of those moms who got to stay home during the summer, eat lunch with her husband take the kids to swim practice and then come home and have dinner waiting before their T-ball game. It makes it seem like I don't have very high ambitions for myself but more than anything that is what I want. I don't care about being a doctor. I just want to be a Mom. Sorry for the randomness of this entry it is just the thoughts that are running through my mind. Thanks for letting me share. Okay last thought...what would I be better at...elementary school teacher or school psychologist?

What a night!

So it hasn't been the best day. I still do not have a job for this summer. I am trying to figure out whether I want to be a teacher or continue in psych. Jeremy and I are trying to find a place to live, my dad doesn't like our invitations because he says that Jeremy looks like the guy off Blue's Clues in them, one of the teens in our youth group decided to lie to us tonight and we sat waiting outside her house for her parents to come home for an hour and a half and now it is 12:20 a.m. and I am beginning to pack. There were some definite good things about today though. I took my last college final and they are building the stage for graduation, so I guess it isn't a total loss. Plus, we had a really good service at church tonight. I really love our kids and our church family. So this is it. I'm packing up four years of memories. I am going to miss this all so much. I really do not need to be PMS-ing right now. I shouldn't have even bothered with mascara the last few days. Sigh.

Graduation Countdown

So here we go...4 days and counting. It does not seem possible to me that 4 years here are over! And yet at the same time, when I think back to who I was when I got here and all the ways that I have changed it seems like a lifetime ago. Its scary but at the same time it feels to right. I mean I don't want to stay here any more, all my friends are leaving and even all my high school friends are graduating. Most of us all on the same day. I guess the best way to say it is that it is bittersweet.
