Well, we finally have the official word:  Wil got into Sewanee Seminary and we will be moving to Tenessee in July. I am so very excitied for Wil.  This is his dream to be a Priest and he is finally taking the major steps towards that happening.  I guess my dream right now is to support Wil and be a Priest’s wife.  I plan to change some of the stereotypes associated with my duty.  From the beginning of Wil and I’s time together, I knew this was going to be my future if I married Wil.  He is worth every sacrifice I will have to make for this move.  I don’t know what I will do with myself up in Sewanee but something less stressful then teaching would be great and eventually I think I would like to go back to school and find my own dream to follow.  ALso Sewanee has great hiking trails, a kick booty gym I can use free of charge and is not too far from Nashville, Bermingham and Chatanooga so lots of exploring to do. Having a family fits in there somewhere, I just don’t know where yet.

A weight has been lifted off our shoulders.  We’ve made our decision and actually were blessed with acceptance from Sewanee.  Yeah us!

Spring hath sprung here in BM, NC.  I love that the abreviation for my town is BM (giggle).  The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and the threat of a snake sighting looms.  My spring break is two weeks away and I can hardly wait.  You’ve probably heard that spring break and summer are the two reasons to be a teacher but honestly, it spoils me.  I plan to not be a teacher my whole life and I feel maybe I am getting false hopes about my future routine.  Seriously, teachers deserve summer breaks but I think most jobs deserve a good couple of weeks off and the thought of having a job that doesn’t buy into this is mad.

How do you people do it?  Work for weeks with no breaks or snow days or sick days they can use or big long 9 week breaks?

By-the-way:  thanks Joanna for my card and Wil and I have decided on Sewanee for seminary now we have to wait till Sewanee decides on us!
