Life in My Shoes

Well, Christmas came and went. The time of rest was short lived in my opinion... I've been wondering what is "rest" because it is becoming a rather foreign feeling to me. So you see, things don't really slow down for me or my family, we stay busy, something always comes up. All of it needs to be done and when one is available, it's hard to say no (don't worry I do say "no" to some things).
Since Christmas, my schooling plans have changed yet again. {sigh} But I think I've found the right school now... at least I'm going ahead with applying. If it's not where God wants me then He'll close the doors, and I'll start looking again. I just want to be where God wants me to be, so I'm doing my best to put all this in God's hands.
Also on the agenda for my life is: the Annual Meeting at St Mary's. I'm doing a presentation which I of course find myself a bit nervous about. Me? Give a presentation? Yeah, not my forte. But I am doing it. I just hope I get word on something important before hand, which I believe will help me sell my presentation to the people. (If it goes through I'll do a whole post on it, I promise)
Now some of you may think: "What in the world? Why can't that girl rest? She's been working the entire time!" Well, you'll all be glad to hear that I am going to "Get out of Dodge." (as a dear friend of mine says). The last week of January I'll be off to a mini family reunion as my aunt is retiring so we're going up North (and no, it's not the U.P. or Canada ;-).
Then in February I'm especially looking forward to a very exciting few days. My brother, his wife and his little girl (my niece) are coming to LA! We will have another little family reunion then as well, so those from up North will come down here. I am looking forward to this, as it will be the closest event like those I remember from my childhood when my family came together to celebrate.
Anyway, life in my shoes is interesting, but I thought I'd give you an idea or what is going on.
