Day 56

This week hasn’t been too bad.  I’ve been really busy with work and school which can be a good thing.  School is pretty hectic right now because i’m getting up into the higher level courses in my major and in the 2nd week of the 8 week courses.  Only about 6 weeks left after this week so just trying to take it one week at a time until Christmas break.

I have to go do DC next week for work, but then I get to go home for Tricia’s baby shower (Take 2!).  Yay!  I’m so excited about that part…especially since it’ll be my last trip to Fayetteville for a few months probably.  We’re going to Maine for Thanksgiving and Christmas now so we can spend some precious family time with everyone which I am beyond excited about. 🙂  Plus, Tricia will have the twins sometime between January and February so i’ll want to go visit the Thirey family around that time frame.  I’m so excited for them!  Continuing to pray for God’s blessings over them and for a safe/healthy delivery.

So excited about all of the family visits and time off over the next few months.  I’m also trying to think of some ways to lift up R. while he’s overseas.  I know that this is probably going to be the hardest stretch for him being away from his loved ones over the holidays…especially since Christmas is so big for him.  Praying like crazy for him that God will lift him up and strengthen him.  Next Wednesday we hit two months so I guess time really is going faster! 1/6 of the way there now!  🙂
