Jonathan is amazing (he doesn't want me to make this the title but of course it's true)

I feel the need to blog but don't feel like there is anything to say yet at the same time don't know where to start. Let's start with the most recent. Today it took all of my energy to go to the school. I had no desire to go at all. The three day weekend didn't help but then my mind traveled to "do you really want to do this for the rest of your life?" The answer is of course no but for now I have to because I don't really know what else there is. But of course when I got there everything was fine and the day went fast and now I'm home not working on stuff and waiting for my mom to cook dinner and waiting for Tad to come over. It's really not all that different than being at school except that my mom is cooking and occasionally does my laundry!

Now let's move to yesterday. I went shopping with my mom because there was no school. YAY for Columbus Day! We picked up random things for the wedding and that is all that I will say about that part of the day. Then I met Tad in Lincoln and had dinner with his fellow TA's and their wives. It was a good time and I hope that I get to hang out with these people more and build up some new community. It hit me again though how real this getting married thing is...I was hanging out with all married couples. It's a weird thing for me, not bad just weird: something that I'll have to get used to.

And then I got to the car I had a message from my friend Erin. I reminder to not forget the community that I still have at UIS. I also had a great conversation with Heather Friday night which was a great refresher. The only thing now is that I'm back in the flow of things. Doing the same thing everyday can contribute to feeling like you are in a rut. But as I'm learning (thanks to Beth Moore and the bible) with the Spirit no day has to be ordinary!

So I'm living everyday with the help of the Spirit. And it promises to be an amazing ride. I'll keep you updated :)
