New Beginnings

I decided to start a blog in order to keep up with everyone in Texas and let y'all know what's been going on in our lives! I've always enjoyed reading other peoples' thoughts on their blogs, journals, etc., and did a little bit of blogging in college but eventually that faded out.

Being back in Lubbock for the past couple of weeks has been really nice. I've gotten to catch up with some friends, and also just spend some much-needed time with my mom, which has been great. I've been nervous on and off about the move, changing churches, homes, making new friends... oh yeah, and getting married is a pretty big change too I guess :-) I'm excited about it all though, so we'll see how it goes!

I think everything is coming together very well for the wedding... I have a couple of last minute things that can't be done until the day before or the morning of the wedding, but other than that, I think this week shouldn't be too busy! Everyone was always telling me how stressful it would be to plan a wedding (especially in 3 months!), but I have to say that it definitely has not been stressful at all. Part of this may be due to the fact that I am a bum. There - you have it in writing :-) But not working has been kind of nice and I'm also looking forward to a time getting used to my new home without having the added stress of work there. I finally filled out the paperwork for my license transfer to Michigan yesterday. I'm not sure if it was a subconscious thing that I really didn't want to have to start work right away or if it just slipped my mind for a while, but at any rate, they say the transfer takes 6-8 weeks, so hopefully I will be able to start work in early June.
