  • A long time coming...

    It seems like I am blogging less and less lately.  Things have been pretty crazy around here.  I pretty much go to work and then go home to do wedding stuff.  I usually do errands after work and it's rare that I get home before dark.  I finally took down my Christmas lights this week because I was finally home before dark when it wasn't freezing/raining/sleeting.  Yay!  My Christmas tree is still up though.  I just like looking at it...it's so pretty.  I need to work on that this weekend.  It's time to put out the spring stuff.  I'm ready for green and sunshine and flowers.  Bring on the beauty! 

    Last week I had to take a break from wedding stuff...it was just way too overwhelming.  So, I went to the library and picked out some fluff books and spent a few days reading and taking some me time.  I need to do that every now and then to re-center.  I've been off lately and just haven't been feeling on top of my game totally.  Please pray for me to have energy and focus.  I find myself getting easily discouraged and I need your prayers more than ever! 

    Jake and I got some not so great news this week.  We've been hoping and praying that he'd be able to be a visiting student at the University of Louisville next year.  He'd still be enrolled at ASL in Grundy, but would take all of his classes at U of L.  It would save us a ton of money because we could just live in my condo and not have to pay rent in Grundy plus my mortgage.  Well, ASL denied his request to visit U of L.  So, we'll be in Grundy next year.  It's not really what we wanted, but it'll work out.  In a way, it's nice to know so early because if he had been able to apply, we wouldn't have known until the end of July if he was accepted into U of L.  That would have been hard to plan for moving and where to live, etc.  A couple coming to work in the office will stay in my house next year and watch it for me.  It's going to be very tight financially for us because I'm not allowed to rent out my condo, so we'll have my mortgage to pay, plus rent on a place in Grundy.  Rentals there are very expensive because the demand is high and the supply is low.  Jake's begun checking out apartments and houses already, so please pray that his search is fruitful and we'll find the perfect place for our first home together.  I also have the added task of packing up my house before the wedding...not much fun.  I'll need to get things ready to put into storage and move to Grundy.  Not everything needs to go with us to VA, so we'll be renting a storage unit just down the road from my complex for some of my larger furniture pieces.  We still don't know where we'll be this summer, so I'll just pack it up and leave everything in my house and then we'll either store it or load it in August when we get back.  Oy, that's a lot of work! 

    Okay, that's plenty for you to read for now.  Have a great weekend.  I'm home this weekend and am going to enjoy it.  Going flower girl dress shopping with my aunt and cousin, which will be fun.  And I'll be working on wedding stuff, too.  No surprise there!  Gotta start addressing invitations!  Love ya'll!
