In 2 weeks, just as a great friend, the best kind of friend really, leaves with her family to go on adventures in Ecuador for 2 years (as missionaries, if you would even consider financial or prayer support let me know and I'll send you the info), I jump into an adventure of my own. I will be attending school full time this semester in addition to my other duties of homeschooling, being a wife and mother, etc. I'm also attending a preparatory training to work on a crisis line. All of this is in an effort to make myself employable and family-sustainable if Neall goes to vet school. I am in full support of this complicated life change and can't wait to get on with it. It's going to be a long, difficult, busy, emotional road but I think what waits for us on the other side is worth the trip. I've always been a road-tripper anyway, so I'm looking at it this way.
Today my tasks include re-organizing the homeschooling stuff and clearing off what will become my "home base". I am going to need a space for all of my school things if I hope to even try to maintain this schedule with at least the appearance of control. Tomorrow, on my way to visit with my trekking friend, I'll stop and buy my books and such. It's amazing to me how the "school starts" excitement can be so encouraging, even for a 34 year old mama.
