I've started substitute teaching...well, substituting. :) Friday I was filling the spot of one of the middle school phys ed teachers and absolutely loving the fact that I was getting paid for working on my tan! We were outside all day in the gorgeous weather! I loved it. I do realize that most sub jobs will not be this wonderful, but it was a great first day of subbing! Tomorrow I'm the media specialist at Ferry Elementary...hopefully I don't have to completely understand the dewey decimal system. I think I will enjoy subbing--too bad I have to find something else for the summer! :(
You can for sure be praying that I find a job and that Wally and I find a new home. We're supposed to out of here the end of the month and we have no solid leads on a new place. I'm confident we'll be provided for, but it just gets me a little nervous. We have had an amazing ten months and feel so blessed that God has allowed us to be a part of Watermark and this awesome community! We love Grand Haven!

I'M DONE WITH COLLEGE!!! (And it feels SOOO good!)
Honestly, it feels a little funny. I knew I'd have to get used to this new way of life...but it does feel a little more weird than I anticipated. Every time I sit down and actually relax I feel like I need to be writing a paper or researching for a presentation or reading something I don't want to read! Instead I can really just sit; no papers, no presentations, and only reading I WANT to read!!! This will take some getting used to!...
Waiting on Him,
Sarah

I'm starting my last week of undergraduate classes! I turned in my last two small papers today and I only have one major paper left! Exams next week should be quick and not too painful, and then I'll be DONE!
My parents are throwing a little party to celebrate on their deck after the graduation ceremony...I have the greatest parents!! It will sort of nostalgic because we're having the party on the same deck my high school graduation party was on...I know, I'm being dumb, but it just does not seem like 4 years have passed! (ok, in some ways it feels like a whole lifetime has passed, but you get the idea--time flies)
In the past 4 years I've been at 3 schools (yes, 3), moved 5 times, gotten married, and learned a TON. It will feel odd to be done with this phase of my life. I think Wally's letting the idea sink in that I will done with school too...he'll probably get sick of all the extra time I'll have to cuddle. :)
Speaking of my amazing (and good lookin') husband, he bought me a dozen roses this weekend! They are GORGEOUS and he SO SWEET! He wrote a little note with them on the counter so I found them when I got home from class...he told me how proud he was of me and how much he loves me. (I bet you're going "awwww!" in your head, aren't you?) :) He is the greatest husband in the world. I love him.
Alright, off to chapel...one more thing I won't miss about school!
In His grip,
Sarah

THREE WEEKS LEFT!!! I can hardly stand it...three weeks of class, a few days of exams, one ugly robe thing and crazy hat and I will be officially DONE WITH COLLEGE!!!!!
I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about what I will be doing when I don't have papers to write and random assignments to do...I suppose it's time to start making Wally and I some real money! YIKES. :)
May will be a crazy time in the Harrison home...Wally's contract is ending with First Reformed (our main source of income), our lease is up and we need to find a new place to live (preferrable for a couple years), and I will be looking for a job to sustain us for a while (hopefully one I enjoy and can use my four years of knowledge at!). Please pray for us in this time of transition that we can keep a positive attitude and remember how God has so abundantly and faithfully provided for us.

So it's been a little while...ok, a long while!
We've been busy!! Cornerstone ended well...A's and one A-, so I was happy. Christmas break flew by, and J.term seems like a distant memory. I'm officially in my last semester of my undergrad degree, and have decided to hold off on starting my masters. I am sick of school and can't think of starting a masters program when I'm dreading it so much! So it's into the "real world" of work...scary! I'll definitely sub a little after Cornerstone, and hopefully start something more full time this summer. I'm excited and nervous...and trying to stay focused on the semester at hand.
Ok, now you're caught up...I'll try to keep you updated this semester!
