I am pleased to say that I AM DONE WITH FINALS!!! I am very much looking forward to next week and to graduating! I have been here at Boyce for 2 years and have spent a total of 3 years in college. I cannot believe that my days as a student are coming to an end. I am very much looking forward to not taking any more tests or writing any more book reviews. Probably what I am looking forward to the most is pleasure reading....reading what I want at my own pace!
In addition to my last weeks of Boyce, Chris has been adjusting to his new job. He just completed his 2 weeks of training on the sales floor with Cellular Sales (a third-party vendor for Verizon) and begins flying solo next week. I am so proud of him. He has been looking for a way to better get him through school and we are so blessed that he is able to do so now. He can go back to being a full-time student, and he will hopefully be done with his Bachelor's in about 3 years. This new job has odd hours and he is probably going to be working a lot the first couple of months, just so he can learn how to sell and what to sell. We are excited to see how this will turn out.
The next week is going to be a busy one. The schedule is as follows:
Monday - Wednesday: Working from 7:45-5:00 each day. In that mix somewhere is preparing dinner, doing laundry, and spending time with the Hubby.
Thursday: Graduation preparation. I will be having a luncheon/run-through mid morning/early afternoon. During that time my parents and grandparents will be coming into town! From 2:30-3:00, we will be at the Mohler's home for a desert with other graduates. We will then probably be doing something that night, though we don't have any plans just yet.
Friday: GRADUATION DAY!!! The doors in Alumni Chapel will open for guests at 9:00 and graduation starts at 10:00. We will probably be going out to lunch after that, then relax and enjoy time with family. The nieces will be in town....and who can't get enough of them! ;)
My time here at Boyce has been such a blessing. When I came up here, I knew that I wanted to be a pastor's wife. I truly believe that it is a calling that the Lord places on certain women, for being a pastor's wife is not a glamorous job. It is amazing to see how the Lord has brought me to where I am today, being married to a man that knows his calling is to pastor. In addition to Chris, I have made such special friends while up here. The girls that I have become close to are so dear to me. We have so much fun together and they are such an encouragement to me.
Because I am graduating in 5 days, I thought it would be fun to look back at my first couple of days here at Boyce.
I hope that this week has been a great one for all of you and that you have seen the Lord's blessings in your life.
i'm proud of you, sister!! SO sad that dustin won't get the day off to be able celebrate with you and the family. but love you and can't wait to see you :D
