"I've got a Stress-fracture, in my Brain!"

On a boat in the Annapolis Harbour

   May is turning out to be a Crazy month, and it's only the 9th!  Last week, I was simultaneously looking for a place to live in Maryland, finishing/submitting the last papers of my college career, working on Steph's resume/cover letter, meeting our future Ward members (with whom I attempted to network a little), fielded stressed-out phone calls from Stephanie (who was home with 2 of the 3 kids and had to work all week) and balancing my never-ending battle between eating decent versus pigging-out while on a Working/Vacation!!!  Oy!

   We decided to opt for an apartment for a year because we might be able to put away enough money to simply buy a place next year.  Unfortunately, the only places big enough won't be available until mid-June and our lease is up at the end of May! So, it looks like we will be living out of a hotel for a couple weeks in June, which is not as much fun as it sounds.  Because of this, we will be sending the kids to live with their Aunt in Idaho for the month of June.  They're excited to play with their cousins, but I will miss them a lot and will be hurrying to pick them up and bring them to their new home!

My Dad was freezing for most of the Trip!

   Needless to say, I'm exhausted, but have too much to do to simply enjoy my Graduation week.  I spent the last day and a half sending out Steph's resume to dentists in the Annapolis/Baltimore area and have had a HUGE response, despite us not being there until June.  She has already had 3 email responses and 4 phone interviews in a 10 hour span!  She's a great worker and has always been sought after by employers.  I have to wait until my grades roll in before I can really actively seek employment, so I have to be patient, which I'm not!!  The rest of the month will be spent doing my least favorite activity, Packing!  Don't be surprised if my next post simply says, "I've had a Massive Stroke!"
