Moving Stinks!

Lorraine on Easter

Sitting in HER chair

I hate MOVING. It is such a pain in the neck, literally! We moved on April 15th and we were able to move everything that day, except cleaning the house. We are somewhat enjoying our new place. We actually have bigger bedrooms and closets but we don't have any counter space for food prep or a large enough living room. We are still unpacking stuff but hopefully we will be able to find a place for it all.

I have been crazy busy but thankfully I am done with classes for the semester and all that is left for me is finals. I get a couple days off and then I get to do it all over again! I am taking 19 credits over the course of the summer. It is just getting me closer to graduation. Morgan and I sat down together to figure out how far I was with my graduation requirements, and we found that I wasn't as far as I want or thought that I was. I have three more semesters, but I WILL finish by next Spring. I have to, I really need to get my degree and fast.

Morgan is doing well and we have made the arrangements to go to Vermont in June for graduation. It is so exciting that he will finally have his masters' degree, hopefully someone will recognize his talent and hire him. We haven't heard back from any jobs yet. Oh! I hope we here something soon. Lorraine is doing well too!

Just when I thought I had it all figured out

Another week or so has gone by since my last post and I cannot believe how fast time flies. A lot happened this week. We have had Morgan's Mom in town and she has been a huge help with packing and taking care of Lorraine. We didn't even need to use a babysitter this week. Wahoo! Morgan is working hard at his new job with the census bureau, and finally has all his training done. The training bored him almost to death, and thankfully it is over. Morgan also had a good interview with the Missouri National Guard. I am praying, if it is the Lord's will, that he will get that job. I know it would help him out tremendously in the long run, even if it isn't the perfect job for him.

Lorraine is doing allright this week. Although the last couple of days she seems to be feeling a bit under the weather. I don't know exactly what is bothering her, but she just doesn't seem to be acting her normal self.

As for me, I had an easier week of classes with no huge projects or presentation, just normal everyday stuff. However, I am trying to get off the medication I was put on with the health problems during the fall last year. Knowing what I know now, I never would have gone on these drugs, I would have asked for another, even if it was more expensive. I am also enrolled for summer classes and I will be able to finish almost all of my coursework by December! I would only have two courses left to take after December, and I will probably take those over the internet. I can't wait to see how everything goes well and hopefully life won't take an unexpected turn (which knowing the Lord's sense of timing, or humor, it probably will).

Next week we are moving into a smaller two bedroom apartment from the three bedroom house we currently have been living in. I hope that all goes well with our landlords and that we will get our deposit back but we have been at odds with each other since we moved in. I seriously doubt that we will get our full deposit back. :( Oh well, that's life, and stupid (picky) landlords.
