Time Flies
Wow, it has been forever since I have updated my blog, and I had no idea. Lots has happened since my last blog. Christi and I celebrated our birthdays (I am now 25), been to a Reds game (and of course they came so close to winning it), started a program to read the Bible in 90 days (realizing that God has a temper way worse than I ever imagined), went to Lexington for a weekend (desperately needed the break), ect. And to top it all off we are having to get ready for our big move down to Louisville so Christi can attend Seminary. Crazy times.
There are things that I am going to miss about us moving. The weekly gatherings that I go to (church and bible study); the group close friends/family that we have made; the fact that I live in the country in a college town (great in the summer); and so much more. However there are things that I will definelty not miss. The long commutes, working with people who swear out the wazoo, and the sheer stupidity of drunk college students, especially when they are driving.
And the worse about all this is that I feel that I am crackin. I know that there are all of these things that have to get done. Yet my mind and my body are screaming for a long break. A break that we neither have the time nor the money for. The trip to Lexington was desperately needed. It showed Christi and me how much we had been drifting apart, and how exhausted we are. We did not realize, but her working the theater and me working overtime was really hurthing our marriage, and wearing us down. I know that once we get some time to rest, be together and reflect on what has transpired that it will make us stronger (both in Christ and in our marriage), but I am having a hard time seeing when we will get that time. Hopefully we will get a little bit of time after we move, before I start work (hoping that I get a job shortly after we move) and before Christi starts school.
My fellow brothers and sisters, please keep us in your prayers. And I as I said before, we are really going to miss you.
Your brother, Eric.
