About to blow a fuse....

Posted Thu, 2006-04-27 08:12

I think I'm about to blow a fuse in my head. I've been working hard to try to get a draft ready for my orienting professor for the first week of May. It's not been easy! I am still not sure if I will get there, but I am giving it all I can. Life has been pretty much composed of

  • Thesis
  • Church activities
  • Food, sleep, basic life functions

I am really praying that the Lord will help me get done on schedule and have a job to go start on in Denver in June. While I don't know what He will say yet, I do know He will work things out as He thinks best, and that's a big comfort.

Mile High City

I was almost a week in Denver: April 7 to April 12. A lot happened in that week, but it was still WAY TOO SHORT.

My main reason for adding this leg to my trip was to meet my friend Catia who I have been getting to know through email, MSN, phone, etc. I really wanted to meet her face to face, spend some time with her, be able to talk, make sure she's not in truth some 80-year-old toothless hag faking me out.... (Just kidding!)

Visiting Sarah and Kevin

I spent a week from March 31 to April 7 visiting Sarah and Kevin in Groton, Connecticut. It was a great visit, definitely worth the trip! (A big THANK YOU to the two of them.) They have a nice home, and even though they moved in just a little while ago, it is nicely decorated.

We got to do some fun things like play some games, go walk in the park, go bowling, take an off-road trip in the Jeep, learn about SUPER SHEEP, have a picnic, go to church, make -- and eat -- cookies, solve Sudoku puzzles, and visit a submarine at the submarine capital of the WORLD. (Did I miss anything?)

I learned one valuable lesson, too: the pregnant lady always wins. At least, things go better if she does! =)

It was great to get to know Sarah and Kevin better, too. I never knew they were so silly! So if I seem more silly than usual, blame them....

All good things come to an end

This side of heaven, nothing good lasts forever. So it was with my trip. I had a sweet time visiting Sarah and Kevin in Connecticut and Catia and Uncle Neil in Denver. Everything went so well, I only wish that it could be longer! Like Juliet said to Romeo, "Parting is such sweet sorrow"....

I'll be back to write (a lot) more about the trip SOON. A big thank you to these special people who all made sacrifices to be able to put up with me. And an even bigger thank you to God who is gracious far beyond what we deserve, ask or even imagine!
