well...

Hey guys!

I hope you are all having a great week so far! Mine has been pretty uneventful since mom and grandma left actually. It's kind of strange not having them around all the time. I was talking to my friends about it the other day. One of them had her parents here in March and she agreed that it was harder to be the one left, than be the one leaving. Isn't that weird how that works? I left to come here and I was excited and scared. I came home for Christmas had a great time, then came back to the Nederlands and was excited to do some traveling in the spring and for mom and grandma to come. But when mom and grandma came and left.. it was just kind of strange. I'm not really sure how to describe it. But I didn't like it. I think I'd like to be the only one who leaves from now on. :o)

Speaking of leaving. I might be coming home sooner than I thought. MAYBE. Not for sure. It's just a possibility. While that is exciting to think about, it's also kind of scary. I have no idea what I'm going to do when I get back. Well. For a job anyway. I know that I am going to take that blasted, awful Praxis again and cross my fingers and toes that I pass it this time, and I'll also take the classes required to get my ESL certification but other than that. Zero ideas. And to be honest, I'm starting to freak out. Which, logically kind of makes sense. I mean, I'm human. I just want to have a plan. But in my heart I know that I am being totally and completely ridiculous because God has the plan. He knows what I'll be doing when I get home. And I shouldn't fret. But dang, I wish I knew! Silly me. I know. But I'm sure you can all relate. You've all been there, or maybe you are there right now. So prayers would certainly be appreciated :o)

Also, totally unrelated.. but I still can't believe we went to the Royal Wedding. HA! I LOVE talking to people about it and when they asked if I watched it being able to say that, yes. Yes I did. I watched it in Hyde Park :o) heheh. It's so fun. The instant look of "whoa that is so cool and you automatically got 50 cool points in my book" look is amazing. I don't remember if Princess Diana's wedding was this amazing and talked about this much, maybe it's just because I live in Europe, but every lady I talk to just lights up when they talk about this wedding. It's as if Kate was one of us and she really did get her fairy tale wedding, complete with an honest to goodness Prince. Crazy. Ok. Enough girly girly. It's time for this girl to head to bed.

I hope you are all doing well! I was glad to hear that Tulip Time went well in Pella, lots of sunshine. Horray! Hugs all around!
