graduations, weddings, reunion, & more...

well, since arriving in arkansas early friday, may 21, i have had the joyful privilege of:
*attending my niece's kindergarten graduation
*attending harber high school senior graduation where many of my transfer youth were graduating
*attending and participating in cody & jacquelyn bunton's wedding
*attending a transfer reunion (courtesy of cody & jacq's wedding that brought us all together)

it's been a whirlwind since i got here =). i'm now looking forward to a week of job discovering followed by a week of THE WONDER TOUR taking place in KANSAS.

tonight i told a friend that life with Jesus is one stupendous day after another!
what a privelege, honor, and blessing!

what's so good about bye?

well, the goodbyes have begun. my roommate, amber, would say, "it's not goodbye, it's farewell." i'm not sure which one i like better. atleast with "farewell" you're wishing them well. goodbye? really? what's GOOD about it?

my head knows i'm making the right decision. but, in moments like these (the moments of goodbyes) my heart sure does ponder the rightness of it all.

now, onto the tuition trial homefront. BIG NEWS...a final decision has been made!
in 10 hours i will turn in my letter of resignation at work. my final day will be thursday, may 21. my mom & possibly sister will be coming to manhattan to help me pack my life & head down to arkansas.
i will take summer classes through HCC (where i've been taking classes so far) and begin at NWACC (in rogers, arkansas) for the spring '10 semester. i will get my degree from University of Arkansas and head into all the glorious goodness that my Creator has for me!

ah. this decision has not been made quickly or without prayer, counsel, and waiting. so, here we go!

WOO PIG SOOIE!!!
