A wedding and sequential trip to the State Fair were the Sunday plans.
Life is quickly changing for the family. My cousins moved into their freshman college dorms this week. My grandpa announced on Facebook that he is planning to get remarried after several years of being a widow. I am watching as aging quickly takes a toll on my grandparents and difficult questions are now emerging. My cousing just started her work as a missionary for two years in the Dominican Republic.
Work has been crazy busy. I am running all over creation for home-based appointments, but I am optimistic that things will calm down a little bit.
I started teaching this week at the local community college. It has been a crazy whirlwind and I am sure that there are some things I am missing. Once I get the hang of it, I am sure it will get easier. I just feel like I am missing things much of the time.
Maybe the fog on the ground was to represent my life right now.
My roommate locked me out of the house after a 16.75 mile run. Other than that, marathon training is going well. I need to keep fundraising, which has kind of taken a back burner to everything else.
Friday night included several bands and good company. It was a beautiful night downtown.
Sat. included time with the family, mandatory volunteering at my office's Fun Fair, the Farmer's Market, good times and food with a dear friend, and really just debriefing from life. I had an offer to go to a game today, but God knew I needed to rest. Life is busy and changing quickly, but I am happier and more satisfied than I have ever felt in my life.
'mandatory volunteering'...ah, the eternal beauty of all things oxymoronic. :) i wondered if you ended up taking the teaching gig; i shall now call you professor (in my best british accent).
ReplyDeletehope i get to see you soon, i'm itching to hear all about your trip. love you.
