It seems I have reverted to my non-posting ways. I have meant to post several times recently but when I get on the computer all words leave me. This is one of those catch people up on what is up posts, so it is not terribly entertaining but thats ok. I promise I will try harder to post more. Then they will not be as dull.
First with the happy things. Annemarie was here visiting this past week. She Steph and I had many fun times, did lots of shopping and it was really great to escape from the real world for a little. I didn't work while she was here and we spent time watching "What not to wear," shopping and we went out dancing. I dropped her off at the airport on wednesday around noon and I thought that I was fine, that I wouldn't cry or anything silly when she left. Then I was driving out of the airport on the crazy airport road and all of a sudden I was crying. It was sad. Amp is going to Winnipeg in May for her cousins wedding and I am hoping to be able to make a trip out this spring too, so maybe we will be there at the same time. That would be good.
On a not so happy note, I heard about the job I had applied to with MCC. I didn't get it. As much as this is not a happy thing, it is ok. I don't feel really sad or let down, because I had started thinking maybe this isn't what God is bringing me to. So I am really at peace about it which is nice. Another not happy thing is that I have started paying back my student loans now and they suck. I don't even owe THAT much, but according to their minimun payments I will be paying them back for 114 months. That is ridiculous. So I am paying lots more than the minimum but it will still take forever.
That is all.
Hi Laura.
ReplyDeleteYou should absolutely come to Winnipeg in May if you can. We miss you.
That's too bad about the MCC job, though. I'm praying for you, and I hope you find a job that IS right for you.
Also, word. Debt sucks.
I'm not even paying my minimum payments right now, I'm on interest-free status!
ReplyDeleteThe only way I can get to Winnipeg in the near future is to take youth from church to PIT. I'll have to get on that.
