Nonsense from a Grad Student

Can you believe how long it's been since I've updated? Ridiculous I know. So here is the gist of what has been going on. I did in fact get a new job. Matt and I have been really struggling financially so it was time for me to get a second job. We still both work at the apartment complex doing the mission work thing. Sometimes our apartment feels so insanely small, but for some reason I sleep better here at night because I can hear all the noises. I've been thinking alot tonight about when I used to live at McConnell. It seems like just yesterday! I can't believe how long ago it actually was. I used to love me own space there. I look back and realize how complainy I was, man I wish I could take all that back, because I really did enjoy that job.

The new year just kind of flew in and flew out didn't it? It was probably because I worked a 16 hour shift that I didn't even realize what had happened. My whole life I've made lists every new years of the 100 most important things that happened that year. I have not made that list for the past six years, but if I had to pick my top five these would be them:

1. Enjoying my first full year of being married and waking up to the man I love everyday
2. Began serving at church, got two new jobs, and began graduate school
3. Grew stronger in my faith
4. Had two surgery's (glass in foot, and lypoma removed)
5. Learned a lot about where you call home and how material possessions can take a hold of your heart when you didn't realize that (this of course coming from the time that matt and I had the apartment fire).

Well that's all for now. I've got some homework to attend to. I'm taking a short winterterm class and it is stressful. God Bless.
