half way

we are officially half way through (Lord willing) getting a PhD. matt got home about 2pm yesterday, after finishing his comprehensive hebrew final. he does not have any more classes to take...we're off to pass comprehensive tests and write a dissertation.

i asked matt if he felt sad yesterday, that he won't be taking any more classes. i could see in his eyes he was already on to the next step. the next step where he will have to be self motivated and push himself. matt can and does push himself...his expectations of himself are much higher than any someone else could put on him. and i thought meeting professor's demands was rigorous...

he'll take a couple weeks off to help move us. but that's about it. there is a lot to do in the next 5 months.

we should get the keys today to the house. isaiah keeps talking about this house and the one after it. he's got the 2 year timeline in his head. just the other day he was talking with a friend saying that in 2 years we would be moving from kentucky. his sweet friend, who is so sensitive, started to cry and wondered how he and isaiah would be able to play together... little does his friend know that his daddy will finish before isaiah's... but we didn't go there.

it feels fitting...the end of classes, on to a new house. but more on that later.

Oh, transitions, no matter how forward you move they are still a little scary and strange. I'm excited for this next step for you fam.

I just bought Sara Groves newest album today and the lyrics are so good...some of them made me think of you.
