Change of Plans...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention...the music theme was scrapped within a couple days and the Josh theme is in.  Which means that this month, I am working on learning/experiencing more of Josh's hobbies and tastes.  This includes but is not limited to:

-reading Zorro
-learning the game he plays with his miniatures (lotr based, of course)
-probably learning to play Battlestar Galatica
-watching the Cosby show and Muppet clips
-etc.

You might call it getting in touch with my inner nerd/adventurer.  We might even pick up Star Wars from the library.

Anyway, the change due to a lot of news that we received all in the same week and that is causing considerable stress to Josh.  Therefore, I'm trying to help him be distracted/relaxed at home in the evenings.

In other news:

-we will be moving late July/early August.  Possibly to West Virginia (barely, but still.  Yay car registration and new licenses).  Where we will go, we're not sure, but we are definitely going to move, and definitely moving out of our current town.

-no scholarships have come through yet - please pray that the necessary funding for grad school comes through.  We have two and a half months to come up with the first semester's amount.

-the required course, which Josh was told last year he could transfer in b/c the professor teaches the class both at our alma mater and Josh's grad school, cannot be transferred in.   Therefore, he ended up adding a class (only offered in the fall and a pre-req to most of the other classes) to his schedule and will be in class on MTW from 6:30-9:30 next fall, after an eight hour workday and before a 1.5 hour commute home.  This will however, hopefully be the last 3-class semester.*

*We are appealing to the professor to convince the registrar to let Josh transfer it in.  Pray it goes well...

-in preparation for a move (and to get all our we-hate-making-decisions-but-have-to-do-it energy out), we performed a massive purge and our den is now 1/4 full of stuff we are selling/giving away/throwing out.

And that's all for now!  We're both doing well, and actually...now that we've gone through the purge, we're both excited to move (we're ready to move now!).  And this is really the first time we've had to make the tough decisions as a married couple, so I feel like it's been a worthwhile growing experience. :)
