Transitions

Well, with much reluctance, Olivia has decided to allow me to post in Happy Hazens.  I think I had a pretty good case since I constitute one of the aforementioned Hazens that are happy. Some significant things have occurred since June. Olivia spent twelve weeks in Cincinnati doing a clinical at the children's hospital. If you haven't spent months of time apart in separate cities from you spouse (without whining about it too much) I suggest not doing so. Liv is back in Columbus now and is two weeks into a second clinical. This one is with Dodd In-patient Rehab. After this, she graduates from OSU and will be heading out into a full-time position in her field. Regarding my own changes, I will no longer be employed at JCPenney after this Friday. Olivia and I have known for a long time that this was going to be the plan, it's just finally happening. I will be starting seminary the following Monday at Ashland Theological. It feels a little weird to be going back to school after three years of working but I'm excited to be going into the ministry.  Luckily we've had a good amount of time to prepare for these changes and we're both excited about where our lives are headed.
