I realized today that yesterday my class at Concordia graduated. The class I was suppose to graduate with graduated yesterday. It's so surreal for me for a few reasons.
Reason 1: I did not graduate. I am probably another 6 semesters at full-time away. Which sounds horrible and intimidating.
Reason 2: I can't believe it's already been 4 years after I graduated high school. I remember starting college and thinking how slow time was passing.
I'm SO anxious to get back to school. I hate having to take another semester off. Ben's 4 semesters away from finishing with his bachelors, and then we'll switch and I'll go back to school. It is a HUGE deal for me. As I've been thinking about going back to school, I've come to a conclusion: I want to be too many things. I have all these scattered ideas of what I can do for a living, and every other week I find myself pursuing one more than the other. I know I want to do ministry ultimately but there are so many hobbies or interests I like and would LOVE to become a professional at. For instance--make-up. LOVE doing make-up. I found myself browsing make-up artist schools yesterday because I get to do my dear friends make-up for her wedding. I've done proms and dances and LOVE it! Then there's videoagraphy, which I know I'll always do because I love it, but I know if I went to school for that I'd have such a better understanding than just figuring it all out on my own. I want to act, I want to be a model. I want to be a graphic designer, I want a cupcake shop, I'd like my own greeting card line. Then there's the longing to be able to go to seminary and study apologetic's and I want to be a speaker and writer, especially for women and relationships. A counselor and/or a mediator.
Needless to say, I'm a bit scattered.
Although I am confident to say my school plan has landed on a bachelors in argumentation and conflict studies with a minor in psychology as well as bachelors in general ministry and then it's off for my masters in family counseling. This plan has been the longest standing plan yet.
On a wedding note, after the save the dates went out, we've really been at a stand still. I don't know if it's because of our busy schedules or how chill we're making it, but it's been so great. We're starting up this next week to lock down the location and details of the ceremony. We'll be taking our engagements in the middle of June, so look for a fun photo post then. We will be starting our marriage counseling with my former youth pastor, Josh Kirstine and his wife, Jenn, which I am SO excited about. They have been blessed with an amazing gift to do this and that is seen through all the happy couples they've counseled. Melisa, one of my maid of honors, has gone all out with hand-made invitations and a super cute theme "Create!" for my bridal shower which will be happening in a few weeks. Things are starting to come along and I'm feeling so blessed as our church family stops me in the lobby to let me know they want to help with anything I need and how much they love me and Ben. We landed on 3 apartment complexs in Draper that we'll call in mid July to see who will give us the best deal (Thanks, Dave Ramsey) and they're all so close to church, which will be nice since Ben and I are both working there now. All in all, engaged life is good, but I can't wait for it to end and married life to begin. :)
If you're planning on attending the wedding, please stop by the site, becomingtherobies.com and RSVP. Invitations will be going out at the end of June with all the juicy details. For now, all I can say is start shopping around for your 1940s summerdress!
