Happiness is the Law School in My Rear View Window

Days like today are awesome. I get to my 8:00 class and know I don't have class again until 2:30 only to find out my 2:30 class was canceled!!!! So now I have between 9:00 am and 4:20 pm to do whatever I want!!! What do I want to do?

Well I already have an appointment to look at a few duplexes with a friend from church (who is the landlady), and then lunch with some of my best gals from school. Then...I'm thinking a nap is in order. These last few days I cannot get enough sleep! (OK i never get enough sleep) But lately I can sleep 8 hours (or 9) and still not feel like it was enough. Naps are greatly appreciated whenever I can catch them!

I would really like to thank everyone who has responded to my posts and my "complaining" about waiting for God's plan. I love having such wonderful friends and family who have all been so encouraging to me lately. Now, I ask for continued prayers as we trust in God that His will be done and that we have the patience to wait for what that is. I know everything will work out, it always does.

Spring Fever = Baby Fever

Well, my best friend Brooke Cole (and Brian of course) had a baby girl yesterday! Brodye Shea Cole was born at 3:57 pm and weighed 7lbs 11oz and was/is 20in. long and absolutely beautiful just like her momma. I am so incredibly happy for them and can't wait to spend a lot of time loving and spoiling that baby girl. And I hope Brooke will understand when I say this, but I also can't help but feeling incredibly jealous.

Over the last 3 months four babies have been born to families in our class at church. I can't help but think sometimes, when will it be my turn? I know God has amazing things planned for Isaac and I and some of those include finishing school and finding jobs first. I just want time to speed up a little bit!

I didn't get the job in Midland that we were hoping (kind of) for which is ok. To be honest I don't know that I really wanted it. However, it makes me feel anxious that come the end of may when our lease is up, if neither of us has a job we won't be able to afford a new place to live. My parents have graciously offered to let us stay with them until we figure things out, which we greatly appreciate (don't get me wrong), but I hate to have to do that. We are 25 and 26 and have been married for almost 4 years, shouldn't we be able to do this ourselves?

Anyway, I know things will work out according to God's plans, I've just never been good at waiting to find out what that plan is. I pray that I can find the patience to wait and the ability to sleep again without feeling anxious constantly.

And needless to say.....I have baby fever...

Alarming isn't it?

Today is one of those days where everything feels out of whack. I had difficulty sleeping last night and either forgot to set the alarm or slept right thru it. To be honest I have no idea which it is. Either way, my day started out not as planned and that throws me off. I missed a meeting (again) and could not for the life of me wake up.

I finally got myself off the couch and in the shower and ready to go get started for the day around 10:30. Then by 11:40 we were running out the door to get the grocery shopping done in time to make my rescheduled meeting at 1. I spent the whole trip to Market Street feeling rushed and unable to concentrate. I hate that feeling. When you know you have things to do and little time in which to do it and all I wanted to do was sit down in the middle of the store and cry because I felt like I couldn't make today get back on track. BOO!

Luckily, tonight marks the beginning of the weekend and I can try and relax a little. Tomorrow boasts a busy schedule with homework and the EPJ Dodgeball Tournament tomorrow afternoon but hopefully some fun and relaxing in between. Sunday will hopefully bring much needed rest and rejuvenation as I spend time with my church family and my wonderful husband and parents!!!

Complacency is the killer...

A little over a year or so ago, Isaac and I and several couples at church started the Foundations Class. We were all struggling to find our fit at church and knew there had to be other couples experiencing the same feelings. So we banded together and began our class. At first we struggled with sharing a room with what felt like every other ministry at church. It was difficult to feel like we were accomplishing something when we were constantly having to overcome new struggles. Finally we were given our own room to decorate and make our own. And the class grew and and took on new life that we were so proud of and loved.

Lately, it seems as if we have all grown too comfortable and far too complacent in our roles in the class. I personally have not stepped up and connected with more people and developed deeper relationships beyond those I already have. We have all become lax in attending class functions such as small group and I fear in that complacency we have hurt feelings. We have failed as spiritual leaders, I have failed as a spiritual leader and I'm sorry.

We began discussing this at small group this past week and have since included others in the conversation and it is my prayer over the next few weeks that we can overcome this bump in the road and move out of complacency and create new life and meaning in our class again. I wonder, have any of you experienced this? And what did you do to overcome it?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away...

Well, looks like almost the entire Wimberley clan is sick. John (Isaac's Dad) has pneumonia, Kayla (Isaac's Mom) has bronchitis and a sinus infection, and Isaac and I both have something. What an awesome way to get back into the week following spring break!!

Still waiting to hear back on the job interview from Midland. Hopefully I will hear something the beginning of next week. We really don't want to move to Midland, but you do anything necessary for your family right? And at least that way one of us would have a job!

Nothing really exciting going on right now. Hopefully later posts will be more interesting!!!

Let's Try This Again

Ok, so....I'm going to try this blogging thing one more time.

Since my last post...Isaac and I will be graduating in 2 Months! I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown. We currently are waiting to hear back on two jobs. One in Amarillo for Isaac and one in Midland for me. We'd prefer the Amarillo job or something in Lubbock, but I guess a job is a job is a job.

We spent Spring Break in Vegas with Isaac's family (pictures to follow). It was amazing! We turned 25 and 26 on the trip (we are so old!) but had a blast. Unfortunately, we both got sick once we got home! Boo!!!


That's all I can think of for now but I promise to have a more interesting post later!
