Yucky Smoke and Blessings

So Monday morning I woke up to this!!!

Stinky,

smelly,

terrible,

thick,

black,

ashy,

SMOKE!!

No that is not fog!!

Trust me!! I breathed in enough for all of yall!!

On the way to work on Monday it was so bad that I had a full blown out

ASTHMA ATTACK!!

and I DON'T EVEN HAVE ASTHMA!!

My throat closed up,

I was wheezing,

trying to cough,

hard to talk,

and I COULD NOT get enough AIR!!

Try breathing through a dry scratchy straw.

It was awful!!

When I finally made it to work my face was bright red and I ran into my classroom and puked in the trashcan.

No, my response is I AM NOT PREGNANT

I just was breathing acid putrid air!!!

Apparently there is a big marsh fire.

The news reports say that we need a large amount of rainfall to put it out.

Tooo bad we only get sporadic showers throughout the day,

cause WE NEED THIS THING out!!

Ok Ok moving on,

I am a college student.

Wait...... wait....

back up...

I'm W-H-A-T???

Yep, that's right I am taking classes!!

At Seminary they offer a Minster Wives Certificate and I started my classes!!

They gave me this cute bag.

Chris says that it is so bright orange that it glows in the dark,

but hey, it serves a double purpose,

cause it can also be used hunting!!

My first class is the introduction class to the Certificate.

I am reading a book named,

'Don't Miss the Blessing'

so far I have loved reading it!

It is such a great book, and is actually written by one of the old president wives of the New Orleans Seminary.

Here is just a neat little tid-bits

When Chris graduates college with his degree of a Masters of Divinity in Pastoral Studies,

I will be graduating too!!

We will both wear caps n' gowns and walk down the isle to receive our papers!!

how cool is that!!

I am enjoying it!

It makes sense, cause to me honest,

even though he is the main one in our little family attending the college and doing the academic studies,

I am on the front lines, working to keep everything in order so that he can go to those classes!!

When we graduate, that will be one VERY happy day:)
