Waiting

Well, first of all I know you all want to know the countdown update: Tomorrow it will be exactly ONE MONTH until my last day. Today I have 22 working days. As happy as I am to know that the end is in sight, it's also becoming a little bittersweet, much to my surprise. Just the level of familiarity and comfort I have here will take a long time to get anywhere else. But that's ok. And I'm not really that close to anyone here, but they all know and care about me. Going into somewhere new where that hasn't happened yet is a little intimidating. So, in the meantime, I am just waiting for the end of my tenure at WVLT. Granted, I am enjoying my wait, of course, with birthdays and Thanksgiving and spending QT with Pastor Jack.

I am also waiting on my student teaching placement! Help us pray that that will be a good fit. Wherever it is.

Today at work we had our annual Thanksgiving lunch. This is one day where I like my reception job because I can just take my lunch and come back to my desk, when everyone else has to go to the newsroom for a staff meeting. So for the past half hour, it has been so peaceful and quiet. I'm sure someone will come tell me what wonderful knowledge was imparted upon the staff.

Today is also my mom's birthday! I stopped to see her at work and she was having a good day. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving too. It's mine and the Good Reverend's first Thanksgiving together! How special. We will have a King afternoon and a McNeil evening. The schedule worked out great, which is a blessing. We will eat all day long and be with both families!

Unfortunatley, I don't have any funny stories or unusual phone calls to tell about. Maybe tomorrow.
