Busy morning!

Well, two great things happened this morning: First, Patrick and I decided officially that we will be moving to Iowa in August, attending Iowa State University! Second, I got a job offer - which will help keep me busy until the move, and help us have the financial stability to get settled into a new place. I'm really excited about both of these things!
The job that I was offered is at a place called the Good Samaritan Boy's Ranch. It's a place where boys who have been removed from their homes for whatever reason (whether they have gotten into legal trouble or there are issues with the family) temporarily live, go to school, and receive the help that they need. I will be working on the night watch crew, meaning I'll stay up overnight in one of the dorms as a security measure. It will be an interesting job, and I am excited to get started and work at a non-profit organization!
As far as out decision to go to Iowa - we learned that I will receive in-state tuition since Patrick will be working at the school! That is such a blessing for us, as my potential tuition costs were the thing that was holding us back from accepting their offer. Thankfully everything worked out perfectly, and all my prayers from the last few months are getting answered :)

Decisions, decisions.

Now that Fiance and I have visited all the options for a potential grad school (and undergrad for me), we are finally at a point where we can make a decision. We are both leaning highly towards Iowa State University. However, we can't decide officially until we figure out a way to get around me paying out-of-state tuition. Both of us have been communicating with the school trying to figure everything out so we can make an official decision. I have sent in an application, but it won't be reviewed until the school has received my transcript. However, my school will not send out my transcript until I pay off the final $200 I owe to the school. After paying rent and some bills for this month, I decided today wasn't a great time to pay that off! Prayers that I can have my transcript sent soon. Just a short and sweet little update, because it's difficult to tell other about your future when you don't know anything about it yet :) Thanks for reading!
