A Perfect Storm

On our walk to church this morning we had this conversation:

M: Are you ok?
J: No
M: What’s wrong?
J: Life is a perfect storm right now
M: All of senior year has been a perfect storm

It’s true. Life is a perfect storm right now. In the next 2 weeks we will have rode the train 1,800 miles (round trip), interviewed at a 2 pt parish in Montana miles and miles away from seminary friends, but closer to family than we are right now, be one week away from finishing a four year seminary career, and take another pregnancy test (2 weeks from tomorrow). Could we have any more life events happening? We sure hope not. Is it too much? Almost. We’re hanging in there and we’re talking and laughing and singing and dancing and making memories with friends and eating and breathing and trying with all of our might to make it through! Successfully! In the next 6 weeks we will have finished with graduation, at which Joel is speaking at (nominated by his classmates and selected by the Office of Student Affairs at Luther), hopefully packed a few boxes, and sadly finished senior week and started to say goodbye. Wait, we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Right now we will focus on our journey to Mayo tomorrow morning, our waiting the 2 weeks til test day, papers, papers, papers, play, play, play!
