what's next

25 days! 25 days! 25 days!

til graduation that is! :) i have just 6 more days on campus which includes, 1 group project, 1 test, 1 quiz, and 1 final! its all just down to 1's!! yay!

yesterday i picked up my cap and gown... my tassel said 2008- got that fixed so now its time to go!

go where you ask? beyond may 22 and 23, beyond the celebrations and family visiting, beyond finishing college, beyond all that, I HAVE NO IDEA.

logistically, i have a lease until july 31, so i'll be in austin for the summer. as far as what i'll be doing for a job, currently that looks like waiting for God to show me some direction. i trust the He will. i'm just slightly anxious about timing. megan-dare i use your wet paintbrush/blurry box analogy from high school? :) i feel like everything's on fast forward-days and nights get mixed together and i can't keep them separate. i feel like i'm going to make it all the way through graduation and then just stop, wake up, and realize there's nothing pushing me anymore because i passed it without breathing to realize it happened.

what's amazing about this all is that i am not overwhelmed and consumed by not having a job. i mean, yea, i have my dramatic, stressed-out moments, but they're not everyday. i have peace that it'll work out. that's what i've been praying for the most... peace about everything.

i feel like i don't have any huge goodbyes because i'll be around austin and its just a question of what i'll be doing to pay the bills. i feel like staying in this place i've known for 4 years and changing to push out of the campus-bubble and safety net will be a challenge. but its one i'm eager to see play out. i love this city. i feel like i have purpose and challenge here.

Lol.. wasn't I on my pain meds when I said that.. I totally forgot about that! Ha!

I am thrilled you will at least be in Austin this summer so when Sawyer gets here you will only be an hour and a half a way and not a couple of states or something. (You never know with you Diah!)

I love you to bits.. and I'm pretty ready for this everlasting game of phone tag to be over.
