It's been a while

I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since my last post. Anyway, I feel I should update on my life--which is basically just work and sleep now.

I've been working on the driving thing--I've now driven two different beemers. The one I've been practicing in lately is an automatic, so I'm not fighting it as much. I've even been out on the roads a little--I drove home from the last real lesson, and then I drove home from connection group last night.

Anyway, so far on the job, I've cut fabric, mixed paint, caught 30 fish (yes, I'm keeping track--14 of these were today, even), gotten fishing licenses, and unloaded a truck. And apparently, they trust me with a $2000 scanner. Oh yeah, I also got my first paycheck today! I'd frame it, but then I wouldn't be able to cash it--and it would be a waste of money anyway.

I'm unsure how to feel about the big move coming up. On the one hand, I'm excited that in 38 days I'm going to be in Iowa City, planting a church with some awesome people. On the other hand, I'm sad that in 37 days, I'll be leaving a city that I've come to know as home, and the first place I've really felt at home. I guess that's for the best, though--if I get my way now, I'll never want to leave Ames.

Today's random moment, I realized how true this is today--but with me it tends to be more true with rabbits than cats.
