change.

i'm applying to be a missionary with wycliffe bible translators!  i'll do accounting, at least to start with, somewhere around the world.  i haven't decided that "somewhere" yet.  pending my acceptance, i have online training starting at the end of august and on-site training in orlando in october (hopefully i won't have to wait until january), and then i'll get to work with someone in deciding where i go.  since they need accountants all over the world (africa, europe, asia), i'll pretty much get my pick of where i want to go!

in october emily and i are moving out of our apartment and separating.  i don't think i'll like that whole separation thing.  she's been with me for three whole years!  i'll go through emily-withdrawals a lot.  she's a really awesome roommate and comes highly recommended by me. :)

today i'm just starting to realize how big of a life change this is.  everything i know now will go away... where i live, where i go every day, what i do, what i own, who i see every day.  since i'll stay in atlanta for a while, most things will still be familiar.  the big change will be when i relocate to a different country.  wow.  am i being dramatic?  sorry :)

i haven't experienced any of this yet... it's like it's not even real.  but i know that it's coming.

i'm so thankful for the blessings i'm already seeing from taking this step into the next chapter of my life.  i have a great friend who has graciously offered her extra bedroom for me to stay in.  everyone i have told about this is super excited for me, and can't wait to support me prayerfully and possibly financially.  my work is behind me 100%.  my family is completely on board and supportive... i have an amazing family.

friday i have a pretty big interview with them.  then after that it's just waiting to see what they say!
