It has been a while since my last post, and a lot has happened since then.
First off, my sister has moved back into my house in Bedford. There are now 3 couples living at my house, and let me tell you, its not everyday they get along either. I guess whats so fusturating is that there is a lot of furniture in the house due to K moving back in, so there is not a lot of walking room; let alone 6 dogs to trip over! Then today, I found out, my cousin is in trouble. I stayed at Longwood this weekend because I thought there was actually for once nothing going wrong at the house, as my Grandpa calls it "Sherri's Crew". I know I wouldnt be able to do anything to help right now, but I could be there for my Aunt and Uncle..Oh well, I plan on calling them soon.
I was driving back from work this morning, and the song "List of things to do Today" came on, while I was thinking of all I have to do. I have homework, committee things, and then also want to spend time with a million people at once, especially my family. Listening to the song, made me rethink what I am really going to do today! :)
This past week has been a little rough, but got better each day. I have to say Tuesday was the worst, I didnt want to do anything. I dont know if it was the holiday or whether it was me missing a friend, but it was not good! Then on Wednesday I got some great news! :)
There is a possibility that I can graduate next spring! :) I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I think it is possible, and I am soo excited!! :)
Well I think that is pretty much everything right now! I am going to go get down to business so I can have fun tomorrow night at Unify!! :)

Silence in Chaos
So these past couple of weeks have been totally chaotic, but very enjoyable.
First off, from home there has been some news developing of my Mom marrying a man she has known all of her life, but they have only started dating since New Years Eve. I really like this man, and he seems to love my Mom, sister and I, but truthfully, I am soo scared..I have not seen my Mother put her heart out on the line like this in a long time..I am soo happy for her, but then again, dont know what to think. My sister and I have been preaching to her the way she always does us when significant others come into our lives, " Mom, dont you think your moving too fast?" but she just laughs ( which she didnt too that often until recently) and says they just click. They pray together, and are extremely happy. I think thats the best part of it all, so i will let them be! haha
Life changes soo fast anymore, at first when you move away, you constantly hear what your parents want you to do, and so you stop making your own decisions until you speak with them and get thier input, but then later down the road, you ask for their opinion and they say its up to you!
We all are making desicions right now, about our futures, and for the first time in my entire life, I have nooo idea what my future is going to bring. It pretty much depends on passing the dreaded Praxis, and going from there...what am i going to do this summer? Where am i going to live then, and next year? Do I want to step out of my comfort zone, and live with someone new next semester? I get scared at times, about making the wrong choice, which I feel like I have done a lot of lately, but then pray, really hard, and feel comforted. I beieve the saying "Everything Happens for a Reason" and I do think that I am at this point for some reason. God wants me to put everything in his hands. I think I can! Lets see where this ends up...:)

The Holidays
I never knew there could ever be so much chaos in the Holiday Season. Before leaving school, I expected it to be pretty crazy, and I attempted to prepare myself by doing little things like getting caught up on Laundry, etc. to try to help, but it didnt suffice much for what all has been going on.
Whenever your away from home, or atleast when I am, something is always going on that you dont know about until you return. When I came home for Winter Break, I knew the situation with my immeadiate family was pretty bad. My mother and sister werent getting along, and both where at the end of their wits. In the end, my sister moved out a week and half before Christmas, and is now on her own; and loving it for the most part! I think it has strengthened her relationship with both my Mom and me.
Upon coming home, My Mom had told me that she has rented a room to my cousin's girlfriend. I didnt know what to think about this at the time, but since getting to know her, and getting to see my cousin a little more, I am okay with it!
A really exciting peice of news that has happened since i have been home is that the guy I have previously dated, on and off for the past 4 years or so, and I have started dating again. We had stayed in touch since the summer, and have become really good friends, and enjoy each others company, so we have been dating now for almost 2 weeks. I am very excited, and nervous at the same time, but know that God is watching out for us, and everything happens for a reason! :)
I have also gotten to know my new rector and his family at my home church. I am very excited about how he is coming along in the church, and have a very good feeling about the future of St. Johns. Some parishoners are still greiving over our old rector leaving, but are getting used to Father Wilson and getting excited for the changes to come!
You know, all of us are going through our own sturggles right now, and having a hard time making the right desicions. We dont know what the right decision is but are hoping that we chose the one God wanted us to. The one thing that I have learned is most important, especially in todays world, is that God loves us, no matter how big or small any sin of ours is. My Aunt told me this over this past week, when I was telling her of all the desicions I was going to be having to make soon about the future. God loves me, and you, nd let neither of us forget that! :)
