It has been a crazy month+ since I posted last!
I moved on August 10th. A little over a mile north of where I was, smaller place but also a smaller rent. It’s really not that much smaller though. It’s cute and I’m happy. Poor kitties didn’t enjoy moving day, they were hiding under bed frozen in fear 😦 but they seem to be getting pretty comfortable in the new place. Actually met and talked with a couple of neighbors. Who does that anymore, right? They seem cool though. I have felt like I’ve been living in a hotel for a couple weeks though. Living out of boxes isn’t fun, but it’s coming along. Hoping to take advantage of the long weekend and get a lot more unpacked.
In other news, I’m going back to school. I know, crazy right? This is a different setup compared to the other program I just left. This is with Fuller Theological Seminary, totally online. The area of study is Intercultural Studies and I’m taking this interest in Global Arts and World Religions. So, multi-cultural/missions plus art. It wasn’t much of debate on if I would enjoy the subject matter. The other program was cohort based and a 2 year program. This one is at my own pace. I have 10 years to complete it, if I go that far. I have an adviser assigned to me and she and I will discuss my goals and current schedule to see what classes I should take and when. She’s with through my entire career there too. The classes are in 10-week quarters, so a little less intense of a schedule. I’m pretty excited to get started! I meet with the adviser on Sept 9 and classes start at the end of September.
Things are going well at the gym! I’ve passed the 25 pounds lost mark! I started lifting again too, which we’re taking a little slow since the surgery wasn’t that long ago. For the most part I seem to be recovering from that well. I get tired or fatigued pretty fast, but I had some of that before anyway. Just learning to not push myself too much. Not easy!
In the beginning stages of planning a mission trip to Malawi, Africa early next year! More details on that to come soon!
Well, I realized it had been a while since I had written, so I took time out of my lunch break to write this. Now I gotta run! Take care!!
