Countdowns...
I am so excited. In a week and one day Bri will be here! I am so excited... It can't come fast enough. However, it means that her leaving is that much closer. I have been feeling bittersweet about countdowns lately. My cohort and I have been counting down the days to when we finish (as of right now- 23 days left). We are so excited to finally get out and teach. Then I think about another countdown- Bri's. Her time is so limited and going so fast, there are 20 days til she leaves and I am dreading that countdown.
Brianna was up in Duluth this past weekend for a family readiness program. It didn't sound to exciting- but I need to get more details. She and I haven't gotten a chance to talk for a little while. Will update you soon.
I have been pretty busy. I sent out 41 resumes last week and have gotten a call from 2 places already. Very crazy.
Will update you soon!

This One's For You Bri!
Now if you need me
Call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Don’t worry baby
Just call out my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry
‘Cause baby, there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, darling
And from that day on
I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
And no wind (no wind)
And no rain (no rain)
Or winter’s cold
Can stop me, baby (oh baby)
‘Cause if you’re ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, baby
Oh baby
My love is alive
Deep down in my heart
Although we’re miles apart
If you ever need
A helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you
Aaaahhh...
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
Aaaahhh...
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
Call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Don’t worry baby
Just call out my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry
‘Cause baby, there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you, you could always count on me, darling
And from that day on

Aaaahhh...
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you
Aaaahhh...
Nothing can keep me
Keep me from you

Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter to you all! Today is an amazing day in that what an amazing thing that Jesus rose again! Today also brings some saddness. I was driving home from an Easter meal and realized that today was the 12. I had been talking to a great friend about how I only have 33 days left in til I have my credential to teach in the fall. I was so excited and then it hit me, Brianna has exactly one month til she leaves us to train and then leave for Afgahnistan. Brianna had talked with me this week about how quick it was coming and I didn't really get it. I knew it was coming quick, but today it was the "slap in the face" feeling- like I needed to wake up! I can't believe that this is happening. Plus the realization that this is her "last" holiday in the states for the next year.
Brianna has been really busy trying to get so much done. She has been working for her "company" and helping prepare for deployment and making sure that they have everything they need. She has been getting to know some of the "higher ups" as she calls it for me and establishing some great relationships for herself. She has also had a few opportunities to get out and have some fun. She went to the Nickelback concert and also went to a Twins game (which I was a little bummed about- I would love to go to a Twins game again). She has a pretty busy schedule from now until she leaves- going away parties, visiting me (which I know is going to be her favorite part, right Bri?), and various other things.
As for me, I have completed 3 weeks of my takeover and am almost done with school. I am sending out tons of resumes this week all over the place (so pray for a job!). I also got to go to Mamma Mia on Broadway in LA yesterday (Brianna was bummed that she couldn't go!) and it was amazing a very high reccommendation for anyone who has a chance to see it! Spring Break is here, so that is great, hoping for great weather!
Other than that, not much to report. Please continue to pray for us as time is very precious for Brianna. Pray for preparation for me as I struggle with not being able to be with Bri as much as I would like and not being able to be there when she needs me most. That is one of the most difficult things for me right now. She is dealing with a lot and knowing that I can't be there is tough, especially as the time gets closer. Please also pray for the rest of our family as they prepare for Brianna's leaving as well. Pray for strength for all us!
May God bless you and your family this Easter!
*I am going to start doing this part of the blog for Brianna, since sometimes writing it comes out better and it is a little easier.
A Note for Brianna:
I know that you are having some tough times trying to get ready to go. I wish I could be there for you. My heart breaks when I hear that you are having a tough time and I know that I can't be there to give you a really big hug. Know this, you are always in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I am so proud of you and am amazed at the strength you have that I wish I had! You are doing something that not many people are able to do and for that you should be proud of yourself. I am so excited to see you and be able to give you all the hugs that I have had to hold onto. I am so proud of you and I love you tons!
Love always,
your sister, Megs
