Busy, Busy, Busy...

Apparently I have not written a single word since I began this silly little blog...and the reason why...well Michael and I have just been busy, busy, busy! We have both been on a wild, exciting, sleepless, frustrating, yet exhilarating adventure of pursuing our dreams at the good ol' U of U. Yes we are major Ute fans, if you didn't know already...not only do we go to school at the U, we live at the U, and I work at the U, basically our whole life has been at the U for the previous 2 years! And I am proud to say that I have finally made it to the end of my educational journey {well at least that is the plan for now} and as of August 1st, I will have my Masters Degree in Social Work!!!! Go Utes! 

However, amidst all the sleepless nights and having dates in the Marriott Library, Math Center, and various SLC coffee shops with our books and laptops in tow writing papers, solving math and physics equations, doing research, and letting our neglected dishes mold in the sink, God still remained. His gentle, loving hand and voice has led us, given us strength and peace through it all...especially in those moments where we both felt like we must be nuts for pursuing such a long and challenging path that we have had to make so many sacrifices for. I know that without a doubt, that if God wasn't by our sides leading and carrying us through, we would not have been able to sustain the course. So I give praise to my God, my Rock, and my Comforter! 

So what's next now that I am done with school??? Job? House? Family? That's what everyone wants to know, including myself! Well first off, before I can get a job I need to pass a clinical exam. So the plan...Michael will continue on with his degree in Mechanical Engineering, I need to study {which I should be doing right now...where oh where are my priorities?}, pass that stinkin' test, and get a job!!! Then the rest...well, we will just have to wait and see. If you asked me a week ago,  I would have told you that I was incredibly anxious about it all...but today, I have peace. I had a major a'ha! moment yesterday when I realized that by me worrying, by me obsessing about it all, I wasn't letting God have control. So I've decided, God's in control, not me, not Michael, not the state licensing board, not my future employer, but GOD. So for all of those who are curiously awaiting what our and my next adventure will be...stay tuned, because God's at work!
