It always seems like it takes me forever to update—I think it’s because I feel like my life isn’t all that interesting when in reality, there’s lots going on!
This past weekend was fun—I went out with Steph, Michelle, Erika, Angie and Paula. I had a fun time although I don’t seem to know my own limitations and ended up having to be babysat for the night (thanks Steph, by the way). I think we had a pretty good time though, and I had a great conversation with Paula about relationships and church. It’s always interesting to find people who have never been to church because it’s such a huge part of my life. I know sometimes I don’t always demonstrate what people might think to be the typical “Christian” things to do. I don’t want to make excuses for myself but no one is perfect and I’m certainly no exception. However, I realized that I probably could try harder to be a better example of Christ’s love and what He has done for me in my life. I have been truly blessed by everything I’ve been through, even the bad times.
Monday William took his pilot’s license test (he took it a few weeks ago and failed a part of the landing portion so he had to retake it). He passed! He met me at Tulip City Airport and I got to be his first passenger since he got it. It was so fun! He did very well and sounded all professional on the airwaves. “This is N575 Sierra Victor, turning to take off from runway 6, etc., Tulip City Traffic.” I was very impressed. He did so well on his take off and landings too. He flew us in a circle over Holland and I even flew right over my work. I can’t wait to fly with him again.
Speaking of William, he has been unemployed for the past few weeks and has been working very hard to find something. Long story short, he keeps getting leads and then we find out it’s really not a good job or situation. He was supposed to go to Florida for flight school to get all his certifications but he couldn’t come up with the money. He’s had lots of snags and we are praying for direction for his work. He’s got an interview tomorrow with an airport in Grand Rapids and if he gets it he’ll be moving there. But I don’t want to get my hopes up because I prepare my heart to do one thing and then it doesn’t happen. I fear if I keep doing it I’ll just keep getting let down and frustrated (not with him, but for him). Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
My friend Liz and I are taking a trip in the spring to Europe! This is probably no surprise to anyone that I’m going back, but we are going to England, Scotland, and the Netherlands (and possibly Belgium) which is cool because I’ve never been there before, in addition to France and Spain where I’ve already been.
I’ve been giving plasma twice a week and working a lot, and I can’t believe how quickly summer has gone. Insanity! Work is alright, although I’m getting a little sick of people calling and thinking they are so deserving of services. I had a lady get an attitude with me because we couldn’t fix her house (free repairs mind you) before winter. She was outraged! She was yelling at me like I should just bump her to the front of the list because she thinks she’s got an emergency. Alas, at least if I can’t smack them I can stand my ground, which I did.
Speaking of smacking, I had a dream the other night. I dreamt that I was at a party and I saw Jeremy there. He had been with lots of other girls since me (actually I think that’s reality), and I got up to hug him and he said “Hey, Emily!” (cause he forgot my name since he had been with so many girls). I looked at him and slapped him across the face and said “MY NAME IS KATHERINE!” Guess we know how I really feel about him now, don’t we? |
