I think I may be experiencing a calm before the storm...

Today I'm having a great day! I feel good... I made it through my property law summary and feel like I've got a pretty good grasp of all these concepts for grants and trusts. But I know that this material isn't exactly simple, so I'm not sure why I feel so calm. I'm hoping that this is a good thing and that later today I won't be biting my fingers nails apart in a panic!

I'm very excited because James and I are going to be looking at a couple of apartments on Friday for next year. Our search has 4 major criteria. We want something that is close to the University, on the bus route, will have enough space for two, and is affordable. And I suppose there was a 5th criteria as well... the apartment should, where possible, be close to Corie's apartment, if not in the same building! So the two that we look at tomorrow definitely satisfy the "Corie Criteria" considering that we are looking in her building and just down the road!

I am very much looking forward to living with James... just the two of us. As many of you know, we ended up in a different sort of situation that most couples, especially Christian couples! Living in the same house, in two different rooms with 3 other people with very different personalities has brought many challenges this year. But for James and I, I think it has really pulled us together. We have come to rely on one another this year more than any other, not only in the emotional sense, but also in a practical way as well.

James is so amazing when I'm studying for school. He'll cook dinner without complaining, clean up and always pops his head in to see if I need a break. I think that James has really appreciated that I do his laundry, including folding, among other things. Living in the same house has allowed us to see where we are different, but also where we are the same... we both despise messy kitchens and bathrooms! So while it has been wonderful being in the same house... I hope that it hasn't taken away the excitement and "newness" of living with one another for the first time. Regardless, this has definitely reaffirmed over and over that I love him so much and I am so blessed to have him in my life.
