So my brother is now in Thailand. For those who don't know, he is in his tenth month of a year's travels around the world. I love Thailand and wish I could be with him. And soon he will be in Australia. Sigh. Yes, I am still struggling with where I/we should be. I was watching an old Michael W. Smith video the other day, and he sang "Place In This World", and I could TOTALLY RELATE LIKE NEVER BEFORE. It's almost embarrassing for me, because I perceive this whole not-sure-where-I-should-be thing as being a right out of high school feeling, which I never had right out of high school. And now, when I feel as though I should have a plan and a path set out, I don't. And I really want to. I am not a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants type of person, and it is really bothering me that God has not revealed His plan for us clearly to us yet. I know He's probably teaching me something (like patience!) and it's good for me, yet He made me this way and there has got to be a point where He fulfills my desire to know. Anyway, your prayers are coveted at this point. But I start my summer job on Wednesday, so hopefully that will help give me some motivation!!
Ryan and I will be celebrating our 2nd year anniversary tomorrow night. Our anniversary isn't until Tuesday, but tomorrow is the only night this week we have free. It's so strange: off the top of my head I can count 7 couples who have their anniversary within a two week period of ours. What a popular time! And then Ryan's birthday is on the 29th. Except for Heather, all of Ryan's immediate family has their birthdays/anniversarys between March 25 and July 23, with most being in April/May. ANYWAY, I am really looking forward to tomorrow night, to just be with Ryan and not have something to do.
We are also both involved in Paul Hills and Christa Shepherd's wedding on the 26th. Ryan's a groomsman and I am taking the pictures. Yikes! I am very much looking forward to it, but it is the first time I have "done" a wedding officially, so I hope everything goes well.
