I apologize to all of those who read this blog regularly and have noticed that it's been nearly a month since I have written. My life has been crazy and emotional. I graduated from Gordon Conwell. I said goodbye to my dear friends at school and the church I love to move home. My mother and I drove my car full of all my belongings back to South Dakota. It took two and a half days and we made a pit-stop at Niagara Falls, which was lovely.
Since being home I have spent time with my family (a birthday lunch for my brother, a shopping trip with my nearly 2-year-old niece, a couple visits to my grandma's house), friends (a trip to the camp to see Bridgett and her remodeled house as well as a couple of other girls I love, a trip to Nealy's apartment, and a stop at the USF theology department.
Otherwise, I've been keeping busy unpacking, playing Wii, and applying for jobs. I had an interview yesterday for a job I would really like, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up. I'll find out about it at the end of May - which really isn't that far away.
While I was ready to be done with seminary - I am finding the transition home to have its own challenges. Certainly the benefits outweigh whatever hardships I face here. I miss MA, though. I miss my friends. I miss my church. I miss the scenery and the independence. But I suppose that is normal. I am just grateful to have things to miss.
Finally, this blog was set up to chronicle my time at seminary. I am debating what I will do next. Rest assured that when I decide - I will announce it here. If there is something you would like me to do - opinions of mine you would like to hear (or debate) please let me know.
