Our schedule is crazy right now!! This week we "officially" finish school with the boys even though we are technically year round home schoolers. We are also working extra hard to get ready for the campus ministry for the Fall. Getting ready for the Fall involves going to several orientations through out June, ordering and receiving lots of shipments for our resources to give to the students, scheduling our semester, working on our ministry website, going to training conferences, traveling for itineration, praying for God's direction, studying God's word and keeping in touch with our student leadership. We were given the blessing yesterday from National Chi Alpha to be back on campus full time in the Fall so it's a lot of catching up!! We are BEYOND excited though!!!!
I have personally been working on our Chi Alpha website along with getting involved in facebook which is where most of today's college students hang out online these days. So if you have a facebook account let me know because that's where I am a lot these days.
In other news... I have gone several weeks with no migraine! (So, for family concerned, my lack of absence on my blog has not been due to health issues.) Today I do feel a bit of one coming on but I have learned that if I drink lots of water, take TONS of CO-Q10 and try to get out and about no matter how cruddy I feel I can sometimes chase them off. This is mainly because *currently* most of my migraines are silent/abdominal one's where I don't actually have the headache but all the other neurological symptoms. When I get the actual headaches I have no choice like anybody else with them but to curl up in a dark, quiet, cool room to sleep it off. Fortunately, those kinds of migraines have subsided some since we are over the unpredictable spring weather.
Let's see what else... I have been taking TONS of pics of the flowers in my garden and LOVING my new camera. I will be sure to share some pics soon when I can take the time to upload them. I have also been making sure I visit with my Grampa as much as I can. I miss my Grammie tons but I am also so very glad to have my Grampa and enjoy the time we can have together too. Grampa recently gave me Grammie's serger which was her desire. I am hoping to find some fun fabric to make the girls some summer dresses. 
If you know of any quick and easy patterns let me know!
We have planted peas, tomatoes, peppers so far in our veggie garden. All is coming along well. We don't have much room for more. I would like some zuccinni too but probably not this year.
We have still been on the house hunt looking for something with a little more room as we are expecting to grow our family. Tomorrow evening we have an appointment to see a house that I have wanted since the day we came back to the area. The house was previously owned by a professor that we knew very well. It's walking distance to our campus, as well as the local school for playing at the playground and ball in the fields and has an apartment over the garage to house a couple of students! It's in a neighborhood we have desired for a loooong time! We will see how it goes....
As far as our adoption I have heard NO word for several weeks now. We are still waiting to hear that our dossier has been submitted and when our appointment is to go overseas. We are being very patient trying to trust as God unfolds His desires for every aspect of our life. I will be honest and say the wait is just now getting hard emotionally. I think it's because we all expected that we would be over and back by now.
Currently our next plans is to head off to a Balloon Festival for Father's Day as our tradition and then off to MO for two weeks for Chi Alpha training. Upon returning from our MO trip we will then be spending time with family at my Grammie's commital service in which Eric is officiating. We will also be doing our first camping trip with my Cousin Kimmy. YAY! Summer is here!!!
Jared will have one last piano lesson next week as well. Then the summer schedule of life begins!
