Hello friends!
I'm taking a quick break from auditing charts at work to update you all on what's happening with us. Let me tell ya,... chart audits were pretty hard to tear myself away from!
So first and foremost, my husband is a rockstar! He is oficially 1/4 Dr. Anderson, and passed his first year of med school with flying colors and a fantastic class standing. I'm so proud of him! He has two more weeks of relaxing (and honey-do-listing) until he leaves for Comissioned Officer Training School in Montgomery Alabama. He'll be in hot muggy Alabama getting yelled at and "roughing it officer style" for 5 weeks. Our first prayer request is just that this time would fly by for both of us as this will be the longest we've ever been apart. Jess will also be missing the first week of classes in August so prayers that he'll be able to get caught back up with minimal stress would be appreciated.
The second big prayer request is that I'm trying to decide what to do with myself the next few years. This job is certainly not getting any easier on me, and I'm really struggling to understand why God has me here and if He really wants me to stay. Some days I feel like I could handle it for another 6 months or a year, and other days I feel like I need to turn in my 2 weeks notice on the spot. I'm actively pursueing other jobs, but none give me a feeling of peace....
Soooooo,.... I'm looking into going back to school. Possibly this fall. It would be super last minute, so we have to make a decision quickly and a lot of our current plans for the next few years are dependant on the decision. I'm going into CU Denver later this week to talk to someone about program options (masters vs. doctoral programs and family practitioner vs. pediatric practitioner). We hadn't planned on me going back to school so soon, and financially it would make the next few years more tight; but it also would make sense in a lot of ways. Please lift us up when you think of it. We need wisdom to know what decisions to make and what God's timing is for our lives right now. There's a lot riding on this decision, and along with excitment about the possibilities, we have a strong desire to be following God's will.
Well, my thumbs are tired of typing on my phone, and I should get back to the stack of charts in front of me. I wish you all a happy summer and thanks for your prayers!
