Seattle summery-ness.

I got in! To the Swedish CPE program! Whoot!

It was funny - I called Mark VERY despondent the evening of the day they told me they were going to inform me by, and was tremendously grumpy on the phone, wailing about how if they wanted me they would have calllllled already and obviously they didn't want me. He was so patient, and told me that hospitals tend to have bad administration practices, and they just didn't get around to informing me. He reminded me about all the other times I've been waiting to hear back from places (Union, the COM) and gravely sad, and how I always passed before. The very next day I e-mailed them and they e-mailed right back saying their staff person was out of town but I was in and would I accept? Yes!

So for all the Seattle readers: I will be back this summer to take the little bunnies on picnics, to eat good and proper fish, to run around Greenlake (Sarah, want to train for a 10K this summer?), to sit in the warm pretty sunshine. And I will be learning how to be broken open to God through pastoring to people in crisis. A little Holy Spirit tells me that that will be the defining part of this summer. Thanks be to God.
