It’s hard to believe my month off has already come to an end. In some ways I’m relieved to get going again on this crazy path I’ve set off on. In other ways, I’m completely terrified of the workload, tricky tests, and the clinical experience which is often so out of my comfort zone. Really though, this entire path is out of my comfort zone and I see that as a good thing. To me, staying purely comfortable implies an equally stagnant and complacent existence. I tried organizing my schedule of tests and assignments for the semester today and got so overwhelmed. My body and mind felt so drained when I finished (if I really even finished—-some of it was a little unclear). Whew! This is going to be a doozy.
It was so good to spend time with Sam. We read books, played with cars and dolls, and cuddled on the couch. It was nice to do some projects and play some games with Auby. I’m glad we could celebrated Gerret on his birthday. He’s an amazing kid. I worry about him sometimes, but I also don’t worry about him at all other times. He’s a kind, perceptive, intelligent kid and I trust that he’ll be fine. I guess I could say something similar about each of our kids. I worry about them and then I don’t. Maybe that’s how God feels about all of us? We’re worrisome, but also not at all because faith is having trust that everything will be fine. Right?
Thank you for sticking by me. Thank you for encouraging me and believing in me. Thank you for picking up after me. Thank you for your patience with my impatience. You are the best friend I could ever ask for or dream of. I love you.
The cricut was a very amazing surprise. Thank you so much. I’ve really been enjoying it. And there is so much more I could do with it in the future beyond making cards and cutting paper. It’s pretty exciting to me. Thanks again.
The date we went on was a good time. Thanks for spending time with me and apparently being happy to do so. It’s so good to go places and do things with you. I love looking back on memories like that. The ones we make together. Even the ones like spackling and painting the bathroom ceiling. I treasure every moment spent with you.
I love you so much. See you mid-May! (just kidding) (half kidding)
