Oh, hello! How are you? What is exciting in your life? Or maybe more relevant, what is mundane and commonplace in your life? Sometimes I feel like such a bum when I update people on our going ons. School, Netflix, awkward encounters with our ward's missionaries. That's about it! Did I tell you we were released from our calling as primary teachers? Now we're ward missionaries. I miss the kids. Our full-time missionaries are weird. And they like to schedule appointments with you to keep themselves busy. Ah, the gospel.
School is chugging along. For me, at least. While the light at the end of my tunnel is getting closer, it seems like Devon's is just getting further away. Did you know PhD programs take a lot of time and work? I am so proud of him. I am so ready to be done with my program so I can start contributing more. So often I feel guilty for not working while I go to school. I pick up appointments where I can, but it's nothing major. I try and do extra chores, make fancy meals, and give neck rubs to make up for it. I feel like I am just always spending money! I guess that's how it is going to be for a little while longer though. We knew it would be a sacrifice for me to go through this program. We sacrificed so I could fulfill my dream. With any luck, it will all pay off.
Every so often I look at PTA job postings in the area. Today I found one for a company downtown that works with children. I wanted to apply so badly. Hopefully I'll be taking my exam in July, graduating in August, and working before September. That's what I'm praying for. I can't stand not contributing for much longer. My husband does so much to support me and I desperately want to repay him.
