uh huh.

finals are over.

that is a statement accompanied by multiple fist pumps and a gigantic, ginormous sigh of relief.

now that school is over, i have been able to do things that have really been needing to be done.

i cleaned the house.

washed 2 cycles of dishes.

did the laundry.

washed our sheets.

went grocery shopping.

also, i've been able to spend more time with this fool.

isnt he cute?

i'm glad we've been able to hang out and spend time together, especially since life hasn't completely settled down.

this is my relieved face. SO glad to be done with school for the semester.

AND good friends of mine are getting married tomorrow. i cant believe it. i couldnt be happier for them. tomorrow is going to be awesome and that will be the perfect end to this crazy week.

finals.

its finals week. tomorrow i will be done and i can almost taste it.

which means now i'm here putting off studying with the cub.

i've noticed i dont do well towards the end. heres hoping i snap out of this.

air.

on saturday, nay and i had the great pleasure of starting a new church service at our church on saturday nights. we ended our thursday night college group and dove into something scary and wonderful. nathan spent all day setting up and making sure mics worked and the decorations didn't look like my kindergartners did them. he worked so hard to make sure this service was uplifting, from God, and true.

he did a great job. he was nervous, but i love seeing him nervous. he is so good at what he does, and i couldnt be more thankful.

this time in our lives has come with a great price. our saturdays are now spent in preparation and awaiting what God is going to do that night. relationships are being tested and rifts are starting to take the spot, nail by nail and plank by plank. it is an odd feeling when you know God is taking something away in order to give you something better, but that taking away, it is painful. it leaves a hole. it is like that spot on your back you cant scratch.

there is movement in the air. there is change blowing around us tempting for us to take it.

and i think we will.
