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!

The Curse of Realization....

So, as mentioned several times in the last few days, Spring Break is only a week and a half away. Today, I was thinking how slowly that week seems to be coming. When I didn't realize how close it actually was I was amazed at how quickly time seemed to be flying by. Now that I realize its only 6 school days away time is dragging slower than ever. Why is that always the case? And of course as slowly as it comes it will be over even quicker.

At the same time, I'm really not ready for it to be here b/c that means the semester is that much closer to being over, finals are that much closer to being here, and I am that much closer to being a 3L. To most that would be a great realization. For me however, it is terrifying. Then I have to take the bar, pass the bar, and find a job. I would much rather be an eternal student. At least in graduate school I can be an adult without having to be an adult. Boo to growing up. I want to be a toy's-r-us kid....

Spring Break!

Spring Break is only a week and a half a way! THANK GOODNESS!!! We are officially going to Ruidoso, NM for a few days for our birthday and then on to Amarillo. Isaac's parents booked us for 3 nights at River Romance near the Ruidoso River! Jacuzzi, fireplace, kitchen, and lots of time just the 2 of us away from school and work and Lubbock. Sounds amazing!

Getting Back To Blogging

Well, it's clearly been a while since I have posted to my blog. Mainly because life happened, and frankly I forgot my blog existed. Starting now I am hoping to get in the habit of daily updates (and sometimes daily venting) in an attempt to keep others updated, as well as something for me to reflect on.

As of now Isaac and I are both full-time students. Isaac is getting his Master's in Athletic Training at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and I am still working on getting my J.D. at the Law School. We will both graduate in May 2011 with high (although possibly unrealistic) hopes for jobs. Isaac is currently working on sending out applications to most of the NFL teams for their athletic training internship program. He would of course prefer to work for the Dallas Cowboys (as any true Texan would) but who would turn down an opportunity to work for any NFL team? I have accepted an internship with the Harris County District Attorney's Office in Houston and am very excited. What an awesome opportunity it is going to be!

I have also recently been elected as Executive Symposium Editor for the Estate Planning and Community Property Law Journal at school. Each year we hold a continuing legal education seminar which licensed attorney's attend in order to keep their license current. I am in charge of setting up and planning the 2011 seminar. This will be a great opportunity for me to get to know people in the Probate world and (details still in the works) comes with a scholarship for next year. It has been rumored that a full-tuition scholarship may be possible but nothing is final yet. This is such a great blessing to us and a wonderful opportunity for me and I look forward to what the year has in store.

Spring break is quickly approaching (thank goodness!) and we are looking forward to some time off from school. Both of our birthdays are that week and Isaac's parents are sending us on a mini vacation to a bed-and-breakfast! We are also hoping to go to Amarillo for a few days and spend some time with his family since we haven't gotten to see them since Christmas! (Back to the birthdays for a few minutes. I can't believe how old I (ok, we) are getting. Isaac will be 25 and I will be 24 this year. And we have been married for going on 3 years now.)

Needless to say, life has been crazy and wonderful journey over the last year. I am so excited to get back to blogging so that next year I can look back over this year and see what God has done for us!!!
