In reality, our life is not so full of chaos. While we are keeping quite busy in preparation for our big life change early next year, there still exists order and harmony. In fact, whenever I get to thinking that I am so busy, I just stop and remind myself that in actuality life probably doesn't calm down too much once kids enter the mix. So essentially, we are just gearing up for the real show. I love my internship and my work as a research assistant for the School of Social Work. It is almost amazing that everyday I can help people avoid financial crisis and then spend the rest of my time studying ways to help people better. For me, this is the ultimate profession. So, life is happy- busy, productive, often sleepless, but moreover fulfilling, probably a little too chubby(gettin' hat and fappy), and increasingly our own. I love it when I recognize that John and I are really growing into good patterns and a family structure all our own, even amidst the hectic schedule we maintain.
