 I believe he's found his first love

Our visit to Chapel Hill was wonderful. I can honestly say it was the best trip I've ever made to that part of the state. Everything about it was great. My visit with Dr. Noble and the director of the Radiologic Science program was good and informative. I have no desire to go anywhere else for anything now. It definitely confirmed that I'm on the right path. I have a bit more work to do before I'm ready to enter the program but I'm well on my way and I have more done that I need to get done. So that's really exciting. I'm ready to move on and pursue this. I know Nate's so excited he can't stand it and he's ready to move 3 weeks ago. I'm not as eager as he is but I'm ready to get this going.
Now I'm off to talk to my sponser about my education plan and get it all approved that way everyone is on the same page. I just have to keep up my good grades and start a new network of friends and professional peers very, very soon. This should be good. Very, very good.

Work work work

These past few weeks have been extremely testing. There have been 7 doctor visits between the 5 of us. We've had 3 different vehicles in the shop and we only own 2. That means the one we borrowed also had something that needed to be fixed. We lost a source of income but God has been faithful to us and given us a good replacement for what was lost. It's been overwhelming and kept me a little unstable. I'm trying my best to move on from that and look forward and press on. MUCH easier said than done.

I'm very much looking forward to our trip to Chapel Hill very soon. All my confirmations are complete except for the hotel. (Note to self. Don't forget the hotel) I'll be happy to get away from here for a couple days and spend some quality time with my husband and check out some things and meet some new people that will be a big influence in my future if God continues to open the doors for me to go to school there soon. Of course Hayden will be going along with us but it will still be a wonderful trip.
I'm trying to stay focused and not lose heart. It's hard sometimes. Well, it's hard often. We can do this though.

I'm so excited I could cry right now!
I have a meeting set up with Dr. Noble for a clinical observation at UNC Hospitals and also to meet with the Division Direction at UNC Chapel Hill's School of Medicine. This is a grueling process but I'm hoping it will be worth it in the long run. I have my written recommendations taken care of. The application is taken care of. I just have to finish the supplement along with the application but I can't complete that until this oberservation and meeting is done. Wow. I'm just flippin excited!

Transferring to a University is definitely what I want to do since I know the next 2 years are paid for in full. The Common Application isn't terribly difficult, just time consuming. The most challenging part is answering the 8 questions for the specific program I have selected. I pretty much have to show my written communication skills are good and answer the questions appropriately. I don't have much of a back up plan that excites me but I do have other options if this doesn't work out right now. UNCA is my back up. There's nothing wrong with that, they just don't have the exact classes I'm looking for.
This waiting stuff is the pits.

I like how God is serious about things when you get serious about things.
I prayed just this morning that he would send someone into my life to love on and show them his love. I believe he answered that prayer tonight by letting me be with someone as she surrendered her life to him. It was precious. There are no certain set of words that one has to say for the surrendering to take place. They just have to say what they mean and he sees their heart and the transformation begins.
I felt like he was telling me to jump in and teach her more about him. So, that's what I'm going to do. I haven't done this before but I know he will give me the words to say and it will all come in his timing. I guess it's a form of discipleship and I want to put my own learning into action, not for myself, but for him and for her. She said she wants a personal relationship with Jesus like she's heard other people talk about. I know it can happen without being taught. Relationships happen and grow in their different ways. But how cool would it be to be taught how to have an awesome love relationship with God? That's how it should be! Not forced. Taught. Not scripted. Loved in real life.
I'm excited!

I'm already playing 'catch up' with my homework. I'm not terribly behind but if I wait too much longer I'm going to be hurting. Physics isn't that hard but if I don't keep up I will be miserable. Trying to find a good balance for everything going on is tough. I'll probably get in a good flow by December. Ha! Hayden's schedule is pretty steady throughout the day but his nights are somewhat unpredictable so I really don't know how much sleep I'm going to get and if I'll be able to get my day started with Isaiah and Makenna or not. I wouldn't say it's tough but I would say it's challenging. When I was 18 I remember saying that I needed a good schedule to keep up with things and I didn't really have anything going on then except school. Now that I've added all these other things, I stick with that statement more than anything.
Now, enough blogging, it's time to get some assignments checked off.
