These are the days...

I remember the days where my schedule was totally open everyday. I remember those days of really wondering what my place was here, wondering if I "fit in". Everything has changed now. Those days of having nothing to do have quickly changed into having something to do everyday with a barely a chance to breathe in between.

Josh is well into his flight training. He finished ground school a couple weeks ago. Now he is taking off and landing in Papua! I think it's so exciting. I won't tell much, because I'm hoping that he'll fill you in on the details of what he's been doing and where he's been going. I will tell you this: it's VERY exciting :)

Today I'm enjoying a day off of school. Even though I don't have school today, my body still woke me up as if I did. The good thing is I have the rest of the day to get stuff done. I try to have a "flexible agenda"... this means I have things I would like to see get done, but if someone calls with better (or more exciting) ideas then I will be flexible and put off those things I would like to see get done. This past week I turned in my grades for report cards for the first time ever. I think that my new favorite days of the school year aren't Fridays, but the day after grades are due. Everything is new. It's just a relief to start over.

All in all, things are moving right along for us. We'll be moving to the other side of town within the next few weeks. The perks are: closer to school, closer to the majority of our friends (all are within walking distance), and it's a really nice place. The downside: this family has counted 40+ rats in their home since they moved in a year ago. (I'm totally freakin' out about this! Eeeek!) Our plan: Bring a cat. Hopefully this plan will work. We'll see how it goes, and we'll keep you updated about our adventure in the house dubbed "The Rat House"... maybe we can come up with a cooler nickname,too.
