WRITING TO WRITE - LIFE UPDATE

Saturday, April 2, 2016


This is Toby right after he pooped in Ryan's back seat. It was hilarious and he's so very proud. 

Woah, I haven't blogged in 2 weeks. I guess life gets ahead of you sometimes. That, and I haven't really been doing much worth blogging for. My life can be pretty chill most times. And in this season of my life, it is VERY CHILL. I'm not complaining about that one bit.

So a few updates: we leave for Fargo, North Dakota in exactly 1 month. I'm so excited for the season to start. I'm also slightly anxious about where we'll be staying. We always stay with a host family, but you never know who you'll get. But I know it will be fine. It always is.

We've been on the house hunt for what feels like forever now. People say, why don't you buy new, build, or just pick one. Oh, if it were that easy. For us, every house is an investment. We have a "dream home" in our minds but in order to afford that or build it (we're not sure yet), we have to make smart decisions along the way. Whatever we buy is going to be a great deal. Then one day, we'll be moving into our forever home. But lately, its been wearing on me more than usual. We look at so many houses, especially recently, because we changed our priority list a bit. And I can't help but to design these houses in my head only then to hear that its not going to work out. But its the game, and I'm the pawn. And when we finally find a house, CHECK MATE!

My church small group is going so unbelievably well. We meet every Monday for bible study and I've truly loved spending so much time with them. Our time [8 week increments] ends this week but I think we are going to continue meeting even though I'm leaving in a month. Its amazing how freeing and good it feels to hang out with like-minded Christian women. Its really opened my eyes.

Dogs are doing exceptionally well despite the fact that they don't have a backyard anymore. Other than the fact that my pup still has accidents in the house every now and then. I can't complain though, its usually my fault for not taking him out in time. Sorry Toby. They all keep each other company and distracted for the most part. Our parents will be taking care of them for the summer when we leave.

That's all I've got for now! Happy Saturday!
