A List

Ways that I can see God's provision and blessing in my life right now (and reasons why I haven't been blogging much in the past few weeks!)

1. We are closing on our first house this Wednesday! This has felt like quite a process and we are so excited to get settled into a community and more importantly NOT TO HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN for a few years. yes! If you see smoke rising in the north Mt. Pleasant area this weekend, we might be having a huge bonfire of moving boxes (although we might not want to make the HOA mad in our first week there...)
2. School starts again on Thursday! Year Number Two of the Commute/Finishing up the Degree. I will be taking three classes and teaching one section of English 101 in the oh-so-lovely Welsh Humanities Building. This building vies for the prize of ugliest building on campus--and it really is a lovely campus--but sadly the Humanities Building blueprints must have been mixed up with a prison's. Anyways, I am excited to only be driving two days a week this semester.
3. My 24th birthday is on Friday! This will be my first birthday to celebrate as Ashley Grooms, and a fun way to start off the Weekend of Craziness.
4. The Weekend of Craziness involves moving galore, hosting both families ("hosting" is a loose term since we are asking them to bring their own towels, bedding and food :)) and leaving behind our first home. We have enjoyed a truly nice apartment for the last year or so.
