It's been a little while (I think?) since I wrote an update on our life down here in the South. Not too much has changed, but sometimes that is a good thing : )
Jeremy officially signed his contract for next year and we are definitely counting our blessings on that one! He is more than happy this year with his job at this school, which makes both him and me blessed. He is counting down the days until summer break - less than 3 weeks left! He is hoping to take some classes over the summer to count towards his masters and i'm sure he will be getting his fill of video games and the gym : )
We are contemplating moving to a bigger apartment/townhouse in the near future. Not so much for the space but our little hearts desire a 4-legged friend and our current apartment does not allow such friends. Since our current residence is a great deal, we are hesitant to move, but we have one place that we drove by that is reasonable that we are going to go check out. If we love the inside as much as the outside we might have a new home come August, otherwise, we will stay where we are at for another year or so and do without our family addition for now.
I'm still working at and enjoying the two year old's at the daycare! I could not be more blessed at my job between my kids, coworkers and bosses! I know I will not find that at any other place.
But.
As much as I love where I work, it's not what I had imagined myself doing 4 years ago when I graduated from college (wow, has it really been that long already?)
When we got back from our honeymoon we found ourselves having the talk. The baby talk. The talk that many people in our family probably want to have with us - and I thank you all for not asking the big "W" question ; ) I rambled on about how I was content with where I was working and how pointless it would be to pursue taking the RN boards again at this point. We talked things out a bit and decided what our plan was going to be. And that was that. Until about 30 minutes later when we went to bed and my emotions let loose. My poor confused husband asked me what was wrong and I started rambling about how I have no purpose in life, etc, etc. God had a different plan for me than the one we had decided 30 minutes earlier and He was letting me know.
SO, in the next couple days I found myself doing some research and applying to college. Our new plan? Take a pharmacology course while reading my college books and doing practice questions and as soon as the course is done, I will take the test again. One more time.
If I pass - Praise the Lord. If I fail, my plan B at this point is to take courses in phlebotomy.
That's my plan, we will see where the Lord leads. What doors He shuts and what doors He opens.
At first I wasn't going to announce all of this because i've been down the road of announcing things and then failing and the embarrassment that comes along with it....far too many times. But, i'm just going to admit that I'm scared to death. I don't know if this is right. I don't know if I should do this. I don't know if I CAN do this. So I need your prayers. I probably won't be posting about every little success or fail in this plan, but this is where we are at right now and I would appreciate your prayers in our trusting/following the Lord's leading from here....
