"2 weeks in and I'm still standing." That was the comment a teacher made to me as he passed in the hallway today. I was amused.. it's totally amazing how much energy children possess in those small bodies! I've come to the conclusion over the course of the last week that I completely LOVE my job. I am excited to go to work, I'm excited about the things I teach and the activities I plan and I'm excited to see those kids come in and out of my classroom all day. They challenge me, some more than others, in ways that make me stronger. God is so good... He has blessed me completely!
In other news, Jacob should find out about his clerkship applications this week. If he's called for an interview it will be next week. I'm nervous, he's a bit nervous and we're both just praying that God will direct us. If he doesn't get a clerkship we're back at square one deciding where to live and settle down. We've found that this year we're both a lot more content here in Minnesota. Our lives seem to be more consistent, our friendships are growing and we cannot imagine leaving our church. It's been the highlight of our life here! We do miss our families though and that's a very strong pull back a little farther south. We're just still waiting for God to direct our path. We know He will, but it seems like we're constantly up in the air about the future.
Other blessings include my sister coming to visit in a few weeks!! I'm very excited that she's finally making the trip. We've grown a lot closer in the last few weeks and I'm very excited to watch our relationship grow now that we're both adults. We have two weddings to attend in October also. Becca and Chad are finally gettin' hitched in TN and Jacob's law school friends are getting married in Wisconsin. Also upcoming is my weekend of Women's Retreat with FBC. I'm excited to go this year and spend some time with some of the wonderful women from church.
Our lives are full and busy but incredibly blessed. Weekends are beautiful things!!
