I don't have time to post much, but I thought these things were worth noting.
-I have been involved in a campus-wide, week-long game of tag called Humans vs. Zombies for the past few days. Over 300 campuses around the nation have been involved in the game at some point this year. This sounds crazy but basically one person starts out as a Zombie and tries to tag humans to turn them into Zombies, who then have to go tag other humans. Humans wear bandanas on their arms; Zombies wear them on their heads. This is how you know who is playing. RUF actually started this event, but now over 800 people on campus at OU are playing. I have never seen anything like it on campus, and it has been a great way to meet new people, simply because all types of people are playing.
-We are for sure staying in Norman.
-We received our hospital bill from when Andrew had his seizure. A $14,000 visit only ended up costing $1500, thanks to insurance. You never find out how good (or bad) your insurance is until you actually have to use it. And at the end of the day, we would have paid any amount of money so that Andrew would be okay.
-Starting in August, Andrew will be taking 10 hours of classes on Mondays at the Southwestern Seminary extension campus in Shawnee, about 30 minutes from our house. Professors travel up from Fort Worth to teach the classes there.
-I have two job offers, one at Roosevelt Elementary in Norman (in an autism classroom) and one at Winding Creek Elementary in Moore (in a classroom for students with moderate learning disabilities). I need to decide where I will be teaching by the end of the week.
-We have looked at 7 houses in the past day and will be looking at 2-4 more today in an effort to buy a house by Friday before the first time homebuyer tax credit runs out.
All of that said, I have literally been wide awake the past few nights because my mind is racing. Life is going about 90 miles an hour and I cannot believe all of the things that are happening. God is so good.
In Christ alone,
Mary Rachel
What an exciting time! And what a blessing to have not one but TWO job offers! Good luck with everything!
