Hello, my friends. I'm so very sorry that it has been so long since I've really written on here. I just have been so caught up in school, Chi Alpha, friendship, and family. There's been kind of a lot of ups and downs lately. It's definitely getting crazy.
First off, Chi Alpha is so amazing. Definitely one of the best parts of my life at the moment. The people that I'm getting close to are so wonderful. I love each and every one of them just so much. Last night was our second small group, and let's just say that I'm still on a high from it. Literally all the girls in it are just so awesome. I may not know all them super well, but I can tell that this semester is going to be crazy awesome. I've also decided that I'm going to go on Fall Retreat. I've heard such great things about it, and I'm SO excited to go. God has some great plans for us, and I can't see where He will take us.
Classes have been okay so far. It was a rough start for some of my classes, because Blackboard went a little wonky. But that's okay, it all got figured out and class has gone on as planned. My classes this semester are definitely harder than any of my classes have been so far. I wasn't completely prepared for it, but I know that I can do this. It's all about applying myself. (HA!)
Things are kind of on edge right now on my dad's side of the family. At least, for me anyway. I got a call about a week ago from my dad that my great-aunt is not doing well at all and that her husband isn't much better. My dad said that my great-aunt probably won't last much longer. As excited as I am that she'll get to be with God, I'm so very sad that my family will be losing her. My dad's side of the family has always been really close (well, until the last few years, anyway), and she will be one of the first to go. It's definitely going to be really rough.
In two days, Matthew & I are getting our washer and dryer! We went to Lowe's on Monday and we ended up buying a washer and dryer! It was a little iffy for a bit, but God provided for us. It's getting delivered Sunday morning, and then we will never have to frequent a laundry mat ever again! We were seriously so excited. It was our first big purchase as a married couple.
On Tuesday, Matthew and I will be talking again to the Air Force recruiter. We have a few remaining questions for him. If all goes as planned, Matthew will be committing to the Air Force that day or soon after. I've been praying a lot about this. I don't want us to make the wrong decision, and I've just been praying that God will make the choice very clear, and I have faith that He will.
Next weekend, Matthew & I will be going back up to Kansas City. My other great-aunt, Sister Mary will be at my grandma's! I'm so very excited. Matthew hasn't met Sister yet, and I am so stoked that he's finally going to get to. She's one of my most favorite family members (and I'm not afraid to admit it!), and I'm so glad she is finally going to meet the man I'm spending the rest of my life with. I can't wait!
Life has a lot going on right now, and I'm definitely excited for the future, as you can probably tell. But I'm really trying to focus on the here and now. We talked about being content with our lives last night at small group, and it really hit me. I'm always so busy trying to rush into the future, when I really should be focusing on what's right in front of me. God wants us to live life to the fullest, and I feel like I'm taking so much away from my life by constantly trying to rush into the future. I'm ready to start enjoying each and every day to the fullest!
