Last week I moved into our amazing house less than a mile off campus! It's perfect. A five minute walk from amazing friends who live on campus. A driveway so I can wash my own car at home for the first time in three years. A bedroom, two living rooms, dining room, large kitchen, and spacious backyard. A dog who loves me and is a constant companion (sometimes more than we all would like... :) And four AWESOME roommates! I'm excited for this year, and my room is slowly getting unpacked. I need to print a few more pictures and put a bunch of frames up in my room as well as get a few more pieces of furniture. Keith and I went garage sale hunting on Saturday and got an amazing coffee table. This week Rebecca and I are going to tackle organizing the living room and garage so that they feel more like home. I can't wait to have everything in its place. The kitchen is well stocked with amazing food!
It has been great to have my younger brother here for a few days as I get to see old friends again and relax a little before classes begin. He's been a great sport about being dragged around to all sorts of random places and I only wish he was going to be closer than UCSD. Today we drove together to my grandpa's 75th birthday party. It was a great time to be with most of the extended family for the first time in a LONG time and to celebrate the life of the man who has shaped all of us in so many ways. I am so blessed to have Robert Huskins as my grandpa! I always love hanging out with my aunts, uncles, grandma, and cousins too so it was a fun time.
Now this week brings the start of school and with it a lot of things to be considered. I'm starting my graduate level TESOL courses and am both nervous and excited for them. I can't wait to get started and am just hoping that I like them. If so I need to start making decisions about graduate schools fairly soon. I'm thinking that I will just stay at APU for the year and a half that it takes to complete my Masters, but I really need to think it through. Then there is the job situation. I am on call in the cafeteria this semester, but I am not sure that I will get enough hours. I am also not sure if this is where I need to be anymore. I have sent in my resume for nannying and will be looking for babysitting jobs on weekday mornings (let me know if you know of any openings!). I think this is something I would really enjoy, so we'll see what works out there. I was able to meet with Sharon Wisner about my internship with Missionary Kids Ministries this semester and I am really excited for it, but we still have to work out some details and make sure it's all going to fit within the guidelines for the class. All in all I am excited for my classes and everything else going on, but still a little bit nervous until it all gets started.
When everything seems to get to overwhelming and I'm not sure what to do I just try to remind myself that it is all going to work out! God's got an amazing plan. He's put me in a great living situation, at a top notch university, given me a great group of friends, a fabulous family, AND a future that only He knows. Going into this year I can't help but be excited to see what He has in store. I've got a good feeling :)
