cross it off

my list is dwindling. i am thankful for the way things have been going since i last posted. the Lord has been sweet to let things fall into place. trusting and moving forward to the unknown. my favorite thing.

the big news is that i really and truly ran an entire 5K. i am shocked at this myself, so if you find your jaw dropping at this information just pick it back up and believe it. it was a good feeling knowing that i really accomplished a major goal that i never ever ever intended to set. but ya know at least i can tell my unborn children someday that i did it.

other than that i am just excited there are only 3 days of school left! and i leave for seoul in approximately 6 days and 13 hours....

may flowers

i heard recently on facebook or twitter or something that may is like december without presents. i couldn't agree more. people are graduating, moving, traveling, packing, celebrating. may just can't be a calm sunny day. there is too much going on.

here are somethings happening in my world this may. a few things have already passed and the rest is what i have to do in the next 19 days before i go to South Korea.
Well there are 11.3 days of school left PTL
I celebrated my sister in laws birthday which was the same day as our church wide service day
i joined a biggest loser competition. hello new wardrobe.
my cousin is pregnant and i will be going over to Seoul to help her out this summer
so. i am packing.
i have to pack up the classroom i don't call mine because they are having summer school here.
i have to pass back tons of artwork to kids that i really have no idea whose it is or how it is organized.
i have to take down bulletin boards
i have to do field day
i have two nearest and dearest friends visiting from dubai that we must have long deep wonderful conversations over delicious food and beverages
i have to go to izmir and cafe madrid with kat to use two coupons before i leave in 19 days
i have to run a 5k--aka snails pace
i also have a dear dear friend from california who i have to enjoy laughter and memories with
i haveto figure out what i am going to do on a 14 hour flight with no laptop or decent ipod
i have to prepare myself for the possibility of meeting an ex-pat SeoulMate-duh
i have to work out about 15 times before i leave in 19 days
i have to bask in the sun since i won't be able to be in the pool for 61 days of this summer.
i have to see all my wonderful people friends before i go across the biggest ocean in the world
i have to hold my little scarlett and tippit and play and swim and snuggle and read

all in all there is so much to do in so little time. the thing is i am just going to do what i can and do the best i can while the days move along. there are days and weeks that really do feel like a whirlwind, but it is nice to know that there isn't much anxiety necessary. it is all in the control of our great Creator so the other thing i have to do over the next 19 days is keep The Main Thing the Main Thing.
