Hi. It's been awhile since I've written anything on here about my life. There have been a lot of life updates, changes, happenings, and events that have occurred in my life. I'm not sure where to begin, so I might start with this weekend.
Brr...it's cold outside. I'm happy it's raining, because I know our land so desperately needs it...but it's quite a depressing place....its cold and rainy...for almost 48 straight hours. Man, I just need a little bit of sunshine. It's pretty cold....well, it seems like it at least. I think it is supposed to rain for 48 more hours.... which I guess will be fine...so long as it stops by Thursday. That's the moving day for me.
Moving...you may ask, where is Emily moving to? Some of you may know..and others may not. I'm moving back in with my mom for a temporary place for a little while. It's a good thing and a hard thing all at once. I am moving back in with my mom with some short-term goals in mind. (1) Debt-Free
(2) Savings
(3) Home Buyers Account
I am moving back home to save money, get rid of all my debts (which, fortunately, I don't have a lot, but enough to hang over my head), save money, and then get out on my own. If things happen differently or whatever, I'll take it one day at a time. I think I would lke to be out on my own in about a year...my own cute little house, something comfy, affordable, and in a reasonably safe area. Then...I have a few other goals in mind.
(1) MSW program
(2) Foster Children
(3) Peace Corps
I'm not sure what of these I will really take action on..it really depends on my year and things that happen.
Which brings me to the next part of my writing...I just don't know where I want to be, what I want to do, or what to do with my life. Each time I think I have a good idea, something else pops in my mind as a neat idea....I think that's my problem...I have too many ideas of what would be neat things to do....I've thought a lot about the Peace Corps...going abroad to work on some orphanage project in Romania or teaching kids on an African desert....I just don't know. It sounds like a great experience, but I don't know how I would do being away from my family for that amount of time. I've thought about fostering children here in Tulsa...and that would be neat too. I just don't know. I've also entertained the idea of going back to get my MSW...which is has a high liklihood.
Anyhow, guess I need to just relax and live each day for what it brings and take life as it comes. With that being said, I started attending a new church here in Tulsa. I feel very spiritually fed and at home there. I'm going to First Presbyterian Church in downtown Tulsa. It's a great place and welcoming to everyone.
I must end this post...and get something to eat. Hope this finds everyone well and I will write more at another time.
