Yikes!

It's been a whole month since I posted last! Oops.

I'm taking a cue from Kari over at Better Together and posting my goals for the month. These are in place solely because I have been exceedingly lazy the past few months and now it's catching up to me. :( The hubs is going to keep my accountable by purchasing me a pair of Vibram Five Fingers if I meet all of my goals. (And I really, really want some, so I think it just may work!) Most of these are school related, btw.

1) No missing class in October (1 freebie)

2) No missing clinic in October, unless it’s a week pre-planned (2 freebies)

3) Make 2/3 of your gym classes every week during October (1 freebie)

4) Finish watching chair massage video by the end of next week, and sign up for POD 40 hour

5) Kiss Tyler at least a dozen times a day during October

6) Run 2.5 miles (aka keep up with Couch to 5K) by the end of the month


What are your goals for the month??

Hello again! It's been a while since my last update, but there's not a whole lot to catch you up on. Let's see..

My classmates and I are now giving massages to paying clients at our school's clinic. It has been an interesting 2 weeks, and I'm really enjoying working with people! It is a pretty relaxing job, and I hope that I'm actually making people feel better. This afternoon I got an appointment notification which informed me that my first client has scheduled another appointment with me, which makes me hopeful that people are enjoying my services. :)

The house hasn't changed much since the picture post I updated with. We did add soaker hoses to our trees and the foundation. We also finished roofing the shed, so it looks a little less ridiculous. We still need to paint the shed, and at some point (probably October?) we're going to put up a fence and then get the yard ready to be seeded for grass.

Tyler is keeping busy at work. This week has been a bit of a turning point on his team, and it's changing for the better, it would seem. I'm praying that the changes to his work atmosphere will continue, because he's generally been in a better mood as a result.

Not much else is going on around here. I've been totally unmotivated to do anything (include work in clinic) this week, which is not the greatest thing in the world. Hopefully it will turn around for me soon! I've thrown myself into reading more lately, which is great, as usual. Tyler and I also made a trip to our local used bookstore this past weekend, which was awesome. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there from now on. I also saw some new faces at my knitting group this week, which was awesome. It's always fun to get to know new people and be impressed by their knitting abilities (which always way outshine mine, lol). I'm looking forward to going to the group again on Monday, and I've set a goal for myself to finish the bag I've been working on since March/April by the end of this month. Wish me luck!

Grad school?

I thought I should update, since it has been quite a while. I have been very busy with schoolwork lately, not to mention moving and getting unpacked, etc.

These classes I'm in are the core courses for the library science graduate program I'm supposed to start in the fall. I have not enjoyed them very much at all. They are far less interesting than I had hoped, and I do not enjoy the coursework at all. For this reason, I am strongly considering not starting school in the fall. I would love to take the semester off, and I'll probably find a different job, where I can work 20-30 hours a week. I think I need some time to reevaluate my life and decide what's best for me and my family in the long run. I've never felt very strongly about having a career, and I've never really, truly loved working anywhere. The thought of a normal 9-5 job does not entice me one bit, and I don't feel like that is what God is calling me to do. The only thing I know for sure that I am supposed to do in this life is to be a wife and a mother.

Keep me (and Tyler) in your thoughts and prayers, especially over these next few weeks as we try to decide what I will be doing after graduation. This is a really tough decision to make, and we are praying for God's guidance through all of this.

Hopefully I'll manage to update more regularly once I don't have schoolwork anymore. Only 3 more weeks!
