I mentioned in my last post that we are less than a month away from moving to Ohio, 26 days to be exact. I can't believe it's so close! Although I am sad to be leaving my family and friends, I am ready to go. I have been ready for a couple of months now. Garrett accepted his job at the University of Findlay in late March, so we have been patiently waiting since then. Well, I'm not good at being patient anymore. One could say I'm anxious, and not in the nervous sense of the word. It's hard to focus on anything when a whole new life is sitting out there waiting for me. I'm excited to see what adventures we'll have and experiences we'll go through. Even though it may be horrible, I'm excited for the winter. I am curious to know what it's going to be like to have a winter like the ones we are being warned about (I may be eating my words in a few months, but until then BRING ON THE SNOW!).
Mostly, though, I want to know "why Ohio?". Why on earth has God decided that Ohio is the place for me? It must be something cool though; that's the way He usually works. Maybe it'll be a boring existence and I'll hate it or maybe something awesome will happen. You'll have to stay tuned to find out!
Because of my anxiety, I am struggling through my teaching load this summer session, counting down the days. I have a cow, drawn on my bulletin board in my office (Garrett's little work of art), that has a text bubble announcing the number of days until our final exams. Each day, I look forward to making that number one less than it is now. Does this make me a bad teacher? Nah! It just makes me ready to move on.
