Bragging

Can I take a minute to brag on my husband?

(Of course you can! It's your blog!)

Today, I took a nap. Like, an intentional, laid-on-the-couch-with-a-blanket-and-an-intention-to-fall-asleep, glorious, 3-hour nap. I never take naps. Ever.

When I woke up, Husband wasn't here and I figured that he had gone somewhere to get dinner. A few minutes later, he walks through the door with a bouquet of flowers and a bag of Ghirardelli chocolates... just because!

Later, I was frantically looking for the laundry I had washed earlier. I knew I had washed and dried it and put it in the living room (before I fell asleep), but it wasn't anywhere! I asked Husband if he knew where it was, and he said, "I folded it and put it away!"

I couldn't ask for more. :)

Real life.

I know that I keep talking and talking about this, but... um... I'm graduating.

Next week.

After next week, I won't be a college student any more.

I'm writing my last paper of my college career.

Today was the last Tuesday of college classes I'll ever have.

My cap and gown came in today. I'm picking them up tomorrow.

I'm actually freaking out. I think I'm going to throw up.

Here's why- I need a job. My degree will be in Early Childhood Education, which is a field that I cannot wait to be working in. Unfortunately, most schools aren't hiring teachers in December. I'm hoping to get a long-term substitute position (maternity leave, anyone?). I'm freaking out about the money situation. Right now, Husband and I make around $400/month (which is pathetic, but it works for us). If I can't get a job, we'll be down to $200/month, which is not possible.

I'm trying to trust God. He has provided for us in the past, and I know that he will continue to do so in the future. It's just so hard because I can't see what he's doing.

If you think about it... say a little prayer for me and my fellow grads. Thanks!

I know I'm not the only one...

Alright, ladies, time to 'fess up... who else had a crush on Bernard the Elf (from The Santa Clause)?






He still holds a special place in my heart. :)
