Well I am heading to the Lubbock county fair in few minutes! We are going to listen to some country band and go to the fair. Considering I have never been particularly interested in country music this should be interesting. But I figured we are only going to be here for 2 years and may never be back.....so why not embrace Lubbock...Right? I will post later with pics if I can get my camera to work.
Nothing else really big to report. I have had a bit of a rough go of Lubbock so far. I got sick and had an allergic reaction to my antibiotic....which hasn't happened to me since I was 5.....and I looked like I had the worst ever case of chicken pox for about 5 days! When I walked into the doctors office the people around me slowly began to move away. I think they were afraid they may catch whatever I had! My face was absolutely covered and one of my eyes was a little swollen shut. Fortunately it has pretty much gone away now & it only still lingering around my feet! Hallelujah!!
Lance & I are both still studying away day & night. However, I can't really complain about being busy b/c it has made this semester FLY by so far! I cannot believe it is almost October. I made pumpkin pie the other day in honor of the first day of fall and decorated my apartment with my fall stuff. In Lubbock it actually feels like fall so it makes me excited that all the fall/winter holidays are coming up. But more than that it makes me happy that my semester is nearing the 1/2 way point to being over!!!!!
I am heading to Houston Thursday for Betho's shower and am really excited. Soon after that we will be going to Abilene for homecoming and I can't wait to see everyone again! I am assuming I will also be making a trip somewhere in the next 1-3 weeks to meet Josiah Blackburn too! My cousin Jamie is due VERY soon and I can't wait to head to Houston to meet him! I am just praying I don't have a test or something that day. So I have a lot of trips I am looking forward too. Not to mention I have 2 tests this week so as I am flying to Houston on Thursday I will have just finished the last 2 of my first rounds of tests!
I definitely feel REALLY far away here in Lubbock. However, the longer we are here the more I am getting used to it! Now that my horrific rash is gone I am looking at Lubbock a little more optimistically! During the rash "incident" every morning I would wake up and get SO mad that I still looked like a freak! Then as I drove to school I would just think to myself....I look like someone threw a red can of paint all over my body and I live at the end of the Universe!! Good attitude I know!! Poor Lance probably thought he lived with a monster...both in the physical and emotional sense!
However, we have met some really great people that I know God put in our life and we have really been enjoying church. It is just a reminder that no matter where you live, or what you are doing God has a plan and knows what is going on. I have also been reminded that everything isn't always easy and that's ok too. I think he had to knock me down once we got here in order to knock some sense into me and make me chill out.....but I am grateful that he did b/c I have really been able to see Him working in my life since our move.
Ok that's all I for now.....I am off to the fair! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
