progress report

Many have been asking about where things stand regarding these changes from the recent weeks.  My University application materials arrived to Julia on Friday, July 4th.  She will take them to the offices next week for me.  The Visa application is presumably coming along.  I have my International Driving Permit.  I need to pick up a few more electrical adapters, call my bank, get a passport-photo for my Visa app, find an insurance for the first two months, and take care of some other little things.  Everything is coming together quite readily.  

I am eager for 3:30pm on August 4 to arrive.  Don't get me wrong, though, I am truly looking forward to these next four weeks.  Looking so brightly at this place has not been in my vision for many years.  It feels good to like being here again.  I've been blessed richly.  My church family is incredible and growing together through some painful experiences makes it easier to allow myself to be more "at home" here.  

We started training for camp last week.  I really like all of my coworkers.  We all seem to get along well as we have one focus but are all very different in personality and perspective.  Having fun together has been easy.  :-)  We're looking forward to meeting our campers on Monday.  This job will be a great way to spend my time for these next weeks.  

Speaking of these weeks, I have a lot in my schedule.  Next weekend I have to go down to southern VA and NC for about 24-32 hours.  The following weekend I am going out with some of my cousins and we have a pig roast on the 20th with some family friends.  Timmy comes up from Winston-Salem the 27th-2nd.  Vance's wedding is the 2nd.  I leave the 4th!  Whoo-hoo!

Missing my Nebraskans goes without saying.  

As always,

I know, I'm a Music Dork

few changes to plans

As you may have heard, we've had some complications.... 
more cat pictures.

Saving you all the details, as of a week ago, I will enroll at the University in Graz and head over on a Student Visa.

In the mean time, give yourself a few laughs!

An End meets a Beginning... or some place in between...

Well, here it is, folks, the blog you’ve all been waiting for! Okay, so maybe you haven’t been waiting and you really don’t even care. BUT, I thought it’d be a good venue to keep you informed about the happenings in my life.

Truly, though, it is only fair for me to keep you updated on my life if you also intend to keep me included in YOUR life! That being said, please do not be bashful to send me emails, post comments, or give me a call!

So the first little update::

I arrived in Maryland late Tuesday night. These last couple of days have been mostly enjoyable. My heart is still aching for the community it knows, but adjusting to life here is also good. My mom is hosting a graduation celebration this weekend- many family and friends will flood our property. I’m looking forward to the festivities! I have an Aunt and Uncle living in upstate NY and I have only seen them a few times since I first moved to Lincoln. They will come into town late tonight!

Well, I hope that I am a good steward to this blogging life! Please be patient with me if I’m not consistent in updates!
