2 Weeks Down...14 to Go!

Last week I mentioned that I had began school...it was a tough week...and I was hopeful that this week would be easier. I will say that a large part of this week was not at all what I expected...sometimes life throws you things you aren't ever ready for. This week, that happened to me! Regardless, I'm at home on Thursday night. My son is in bed. Jer is on his way home from a church softball game. I enjoyed a much needed visit with Steff, Alison and Julie. I've had an amazing bubble bath and am half way through a delicious glass of wine. It's the most relaxed I've felt all week. After many prayers said and loads of caffiene, the week is finally over and I'm gearing up for a low key, enjoyable Labor Day weekend! So...after this week I've learned:

That 2 16 hour days away from home is now never going to be as easy as it once was(thanks to the adorable boy who now resides at my residence).
God doesn't always have the same things planned for us that we do.
Being in the heart of downtown STL in a very old historic building with sweeping views of a beautiful area gives me something amazing to look forward to.
I loved having the chance to tour the Missour Court of Appeals
I love having a professor who embodies what I think a college professor should. I love the fact that he's a judge for the Missouri Appelate court and knows so many things about the way law works.
And that I'm going to LOVE business law b/c of this
I love that there is a new place called Culinaria (just opened) in the parking garage I park in...and they served prepared foods until 10pm. Say goodbye to vending machine dinners! And hello to a fabulous Vanilla Latte on ice that got me through this week's test.
I enjoyed learning about a sweet old man who testified at a murder trial where he heard the shot fired right at midnight...why midnight? "Because the wrastling show had just gone off on the T.V."
That it feels good to be 2 weeks in and only 14 more to go!!
That even though our plans and God's don't match, we still have answered prayers...even if I'm asking for things I never thought I might.

Happy Labor Day everyone!
