My Change in Priorities

It's funny how things take a total change in life, huh?

At the beginning of January, I was still a little unsure of what was going down as far as graduation goes, what I wanted to do for the summer, and what would happen in the fall! Whatever those plans were, they're far gone now!

So yeah... priorities these days? Well, the top one is homework. Only a handful of assignments left to do... but in two weeks nonetheless... nothing like the feeling of good old pressure to get things done, right?

So what lies in the future for Terrin?
Well, most obviously, Terrin Hay will be no more... it'll be Terrin RAMSEY! haha!
After school, I'll be moving home to my parent's house for the summer to spend some QT with the folks. I have some other weddings to attend to, as well as Brett's sister's University grad, so there'll be some other events interspersed with working and planning our wedding. I'm hoping to throw a little guitar hero in there somewhere too ;)

Secondly, graduating. Yeah.. not in that order or anything.... but Terrin will no longer be a student at Central, but rather, a student of life. I'm graduating at the end of April with my Diploma in Pastoral Ministry... go me!

As far as pastoring goes, my official stance is "I'm looking at options".

Of course, depending on if anything works out in "options" land, Brett and I will likely move after the honeymoon into our first house and live happily ever after...

And don't even think about nagging us to have kids. I will punch you.

1. I have TOO MUCH spare time on my hands! I am going craaaazy!
