Joanne Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We are downsizing, severely, again. Went from 3400 square feet last year to the 2300 here. Now we are going down to 1200. I can't believe how many counseling books I've accumulated over the last 2.25 years. I get to see my sisters and Dad in 3 weeks! Oh, and I graduate. ;) Between now and then, I have to move my family, write two 20 page papers, read 3 books, write a reading log on one, and review the other 2. I am nearly finished with my practicum (counseling people) hours. DH is currently stable, and finishing up his first M. Div. term. Considering he was hospitalized twice during it, he is doing great. I told him that his next episode must be after graduation, but before Christmas. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Joanne you are inspiration to action. Good for you! But do you get to sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 As I read your post, I was thinking how I sure do make a lot of excuses for not doing certain things (esp my "practicum" - Classroom Experience- tasks). You have so much going on and still do what you need to do. WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Ummm.... I got stressed out just reading your post. How are you still going? :grouphug: to you and many prayers for you, your dh, your move, mad paper-writing skills, and whatever else you need.

Tiffnkids Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Sounds like a very busy, hectic, crazy few weeks ahead of you!

Sugarfoot Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 This is a great update. You're both amazing. If I lived closer, I'd either pack boxes for you so could concentrate on finishing up/transferring your case notes or help you with your papers. I hope the 2 books you have left to read are interesting ones! What a relief to finally be at the end and also at the beginning of your journey! Congratulations! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet Vane Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks for the update Joanne. I'm so glad you're able to get in a house that will work and that your dh is doing better. I continue in prayer for him. You've worked hard to get where you are--graduation is truly an achievement. May God bless the transition to new things.
