Just over 2 more weeks....

In just over 2 weeks....CHRISTOPHER WILL OFFICIALLY BE DONE WITH TAKING THE BAR!!!!! I can't wait until it's over because then he will not be quite as stressed anymore.

Christopher is so great! He got some gift certificates from a friend to go to this restaurant that we have never been to, I think it was called BoneFish or something like that...anyway, it was a seafood place and it was great. He called me up on his way home from studying and he told me to put on some nice clothes (church clothes) because we were going out to eat. He brought me a beautiful bouquet of red roses and then we enjoyed an awesome meal together. I had Chilean Bass and Christopher had Grouper. It was delicious!

Like I posted on Facebook, sometimes, you just need to take a step back and decide not to care. That is really hard for me. There are a lot of things that really bug me sometimes, but I am going to try and be the bigger person and just deal with it as it comes. As most of you know, I really tend to worry about things and I make things up in my head that "might happen" in the future and I worry about that too. So, this whole "not caring" thing is going to be hard, but I only have to deal with the stupid stuff that is happening for a few more months anyway. Then, hopefully it will not be as hard.

Christopher is going to need a lot of love and support over the next couple of weeks, until he gets done taking the bar. I am doing what I can for him, but I know that sometimes I can make things more stressful.

I hope that I can find a job really soon, or that people will want to start taking piano lessons ASAP. I will feel a lot better about the future if I can get a job. I have been looking, but a lot of places want someone like me to have their CDA before they can begin teaching preschool. It kind of stinks that I have to get more training done after I just completed 4 years of work at a university, but I guess a 4 year degree just isn't enough anymore. I have been thinking a lot about grad school lately. I think it might be a real possibility for me, in the future. Not right now, of course, with everything being so crazy with Chris and trying to get myself settled here first, but maybe in a couple years, or maybe after we have kids and they are all in elementary school during the day, something like that. It is kind of exciting to think about that! Maybe a Master's degree in school administration or something like that, or maybe I might actually like all of the law stuff Chris is doing and I will go for a law degree. I don't know...the possibilities, as they say, are endless. Or actually, maybe the whole piano thing will take off in August or September and I won't have to worry about getting another degree...

That reminds me... I got my letter from Ohio University stating that I actually did complete my degree and that my degree will be sent in the mail in the next couple of weeks! I am so excited! I can't wait to actually see the little piece of paper that I worked my butt off for, for four years! I can't wait to hang it on the wall in my piano room. It is going to look fabulous in there!

Well, until the next time I write.... :)
