It's been a quiet week at the Buschow house. Justin, his parents, his brother and his sister are all on Alive in You right now in Wisconsin. Carter, Justin's Grandma and I have been holding down the fort! I had to work late three days this week. So they told me not to come in to work this morning! Fridays are half days anyway, and I enjoyed sleeping in.
Monday I had my first meeting with the girl making her Quinceañera in November. I'm meeting with her seven times before her event. I was super excited! It went really well and I got two more phone calls this week about other girls who want to schedule theirs.
Wednesday night I had a meeting with a lot of the Catechists that will be volunteering with the program in the Fall. It was a great meeting! I'm glad I got to meet a lot of them. It has been a struggle just getting in contact with a lot of volunteers.
Today I'm going to look at an apartment that I'm leaning towards renting. I looked at the complex on Saturday and now they have an opening for a one bedroom. It's in Arlington and it would only be about a 25 minute drive from my work and 35 minutes away from Justin and his family. I wanted something in the middle so hopefully it works out!
I'm so ready for this hour long commute to end. I didn't leave my church until 8:45pm on Wednesday because of the meeting. As soon as I started driving home I remembered that the highway I was taking closed a section by the airport after 8pm. Since I didn't feel like turning around I figured it would only take me a little longer to get home. It took me two hours to get back. It took me an hour to go two miles because the construction was forcing everyone to go down to one lane. Do you know what it's like to be stuck between thousands of cars and two cement walls for an hour at 10pm with one battery bar left on your phone and your gas light turns on? I do. Thankfully I didn't have to be "that girl" who broke down and caused even more of a back up.
Reflection: If you would have told me, even a year ago, that I was looking at an apartment 2 minutes away from Cowboys Stadium I would have built a time machine to travel to the future and slap me in the face. It's crazy where life, and God, take you. I'm so happy to be in Dallas but I'll have to represent for the 49ers even more now.
Lesson Learned: When you are ministering to a young adult and you write a letter saying, "God can get on our last nerve sometimes. But it's when we figure out why he irks us so much that we learn how to grow," expect God to get on your last nerve. I guess I was asking for it.
