One big burst of blessing

Wow... today was incredible...

This morning, I drove to Fayetteville to meet with my academic advisor for grad school. I left Fort Smith at 8:00, and arrived at the end of the Mapquest directions at 9:20. However, I was not at the University of Arkansas- I ended up at some biochemical engineering company. I went inside to ask for directions: "Hi- I am trying to find the University of Arkansas... and I don't think this is it." The people there gave me some highly detailed directions (engineers) and I arrived on campus at twenty till 10:00. (10:00 being when my appointment was) The problem was, I had no clue where to go, just a name of who I was supposed to meet. A nice girl named Sheena walked me across campus and I arrived at my appointment resonably late. The results of the meeting:

A. I am going to grad school next year
B. I am getting a masters in science and mathematics
C. University of Arkansas is paying for it :-)

The guy offered me a grad assistantship and told me to reapply for a fellowship. So I will be going to class MWF and working after class. I will probably only be up there 3 days a week.

You think that's great? Keep reading.


Brian and I have been house shopping. Our lease is up in July and we are tired of people stomping on our ceiling and having to hide the fact that we have a puppy. We just started looking in earnest, and had found several houses that we could live with. Then today, we saw THE HOUSE. It is a 3 BR 2BA 1670 squarefoot house. It is Beautimus. It is 3 1/2 years old. It has roses in the backyard. We made an offer tonight and it was accepted. :-) So Brian and I bought a freakin house. How grown up are we?!

But the best thing that happened today was...


Brian and I had some pizza pockets as a snack. The package said 15 pizza pockets. But I opened it up and low and behold- 17! 2 FREE pockets. The Lord is good to me...

NEway hope your week is great. Ours has already been entirely too exciting. In a good way.
