Vincent and I have had long, full days. It's rather sad. We basically say "Hi" and "Bye" to each other. This semester, Vincent is taking classes along with a MCAT course (which he was graciously given a scholarship for.. so proud of him!!). The MCAT course is at nights. On top of that, he also works all weekend long.
As for me, I just started doing my student-teaching in third grade. This is my first full week, and I am exhausted. Wheeww. I really enjoy it so far, but I know this semester will be hard. I've been praying for God to help me keep my time organized, and to also be more understanding towards our hectic schedules. I still want to cook as much as possible, and I am much more productive when I keep the house clean and tidy. It gets hard, though... I still have to babysit and do my super fun birthday parties to help pay the bills.
But, thank God for those jobs! Vincent and I are so blessed to have jobs. It's awesome to watch God provide.
Needless to say, Vincent and I have to make time for one another. Though it's hard to remember at times, this craziness is just a season in our lives. We've found unique, fun ways to stay connected to each other, like a traveling journal. The rules are to hide it in different places. Once you find it, you HAVE to write in it and hide it somewhere else. The only other rule is to not hide it somewhere public where someone random would find it! We just started that this week, and it's really fun. We also started doing weekly questions. This helped us sooo much this week! It can be painful, but it is worth it. Those questions helped us a lot this week in better serving each other.
Here's some pics of what's been going on...
