Grown-Ups

I'm a big kid now? It's been kind of surreal the past few weeks as we begin to fill out job applications, make online profiles for state hiring websites and get things together for job fairs, interviews and the final preparations for graduation. Can I actually be finishing college (for now)? As we begin wrapping things up and deciding what happens next, I get really nervous and almost sick to my stomach thinking about it - although this is what we've been working for for too long (ha), I can sadly understand why people become "professional students." It's almost easier to put off loans for a few more years, get a Master's degree and continue living the college life. But for us, I know we don't want to do that quite yet. We need JOBS! I'm just pretty terrified of living the real world! I'm sure it'll be great once we get hired, but this sort of limbo we're in between graduation and hiring is really nerve-racking. God is really teaching us to put our faith in him as we start a new chapter of our lives and begin looking for teaching positions around the state. Be praying for us as we wrap up college and begin living our lives as "big kids."
