Overdrive

Well, this has been a very hectic last couple of weeks. As you know, we packed up our apartment last week and moved everything this week into our new one. In between that, Derek and I drove to Abilene for Mark's graduation (yea!) last weekend, and then drove back on Sunday to begin the move. His family had already taken several loads to the new place by the time we got there, so there was a lot less to do than we thought. Also, Monday morning several people from church came by to help us and we finished moving everything in by noon. However, unpacking has been a different story...

On top of the continued mess in our house (which is driving me crazy), I've been working 8 to 5 everyday at my two jobs and trying to stay afloat of the rushing I have to do between them (I only get half an hour to drive from one to the other and eat lunch at the same time). I really like my new job at the law office (it's so easy - I get to read when there's nothing to do, so I've knocked out a lot of The DaVinci Code already!). However, I had forgotten how stressful it can be to work from 8 to 5 everyday and then fight traffic to get home.

And, to top it all off, my Mexico trip is coming up in like three days (yipe!) and I feel so unprepared for it. Our group had our final meeting last Thursday night, and I am so surprised at how quickly this trip has snuck up on me. I hope I don't forget what little spanish I know and I hope I don't get too lonely while we're there. I'm still a kid when it comes to sleeping away from home, and now that my home is with Derek, it will be hard to be away from him for a week in a strange place. At least I will not be alone - Philis, Corina and Nydia are good girls who have become my friends over the past semester, and I know that we will have a good time together south of the border.

Well, this may be the last time I write on here...before I leave on Tuesday. I hope you all have a great week and I will be back on June 13th!!!
