7 weeks down, 6 to go!

Wait . . . does that mean there are more weeks behind us than in front of us?? YES, I believe so!!!

6 weeks from today my boy will graduate!! The more I think about it, the more excited I get, so…calming down. Calm. Quiet. Not excited. Can’t think about it ’til it’s closer.

He’s doing beautifully, of course, but I’m SO sure that just as soon as he gets his body used to this schedule, he’s gonna have to change to a new schedule. The new schedule (swing shift), which begins May 11, is much easier schedule to get used to…1600h-0000h. HALLELUJAH. It might even be better than a normal day schedule. We’ll see!

I have the opportunity to go with S’ mama, sister and cousin to South Carolina this weekend for a women’s luncheon where one of his mama’s best friends goes to church- should be a blast, and I’m very much looking forward to spending time with some REALLY great women. (Getting away to a great house in a great town for a weekend always helps, too!)

My best friend is coming in town tomorrow, which I am SO looking forward to because I haven’t seen him since last year sometime. Waaaaaay too long to only live 3 hours apart!

I set my next hair appointment for the biggest haircut of my life so far, I believe. I’m cutting off all my hair- well, let’s revise that. I’m cutting off at least 10 inches of my hair to donate to Locks of Love…and that will be on June 5. It’s the Friday before S’ graduation. I’m certain he’ll be quite surprised- not the point, but a perk, anyway!!!

Continued prayer requests include restful, recovering sleep (especially since he’s sleeping in the middle of the day!), some fun , continued time alone with our Lord, focus and ability to concentrate while in class (especially since he’s going to school in the middle of the night!), development of relationships with his friends and comarades and a strong, healthy, shielded immune system. THANK YOU for your continued prayers for him, his family and us!
