Seminary Mama


The zinnhead vacation was long, and I'm ready to emerge from blog-hiding. Being really pregnant followed by being really new at motherhood meant not a lot of extra moments for electronic reflection. Even my home journal grew eerily vacant, at probably the time I'll want to remember most in my life. I have this new project, see. It's a doozy.His name is Ira.

Since the big arrival day in May, Ira and I are spending most of our time together. I've managed to read about a book a week on American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism and meet with a group weekly to discuss our reflections. My grandmother died somewhat suddenly so Ira took his first plane ride somewhat suddenly that same day. Another trip to the midwest a week later meant we were tired of flying and sleeping in different beds every night.

This summer vacation is already winding down -- it is already August -- so when classes begin again in September I plan to have my zinnhead hat firmly on again. Blogging my pregnant seminarian experiences didn't pan out, but maybe the next chapter will prove more bloggable.
