Wading Through the Paperwork

June 6, 2005
All weekend, we've been working on brainstorming, and filling out our autobiographical questionnaires. If anyone happened to peek into our home, they would see us carrying around legal notepads at random times, jotting down answers- in the kitchen, in the bedroom, etc. During drives in the car, we've been discussing the questions, and spending any spare minute at home writing down the responses.

We each have to write about our personalities- strengths & weaknesses, our goals for the future, our memories & descriptions of our families as we grew up, etc, in response to two full pages of questions. We were instructed to write down everything we can think of. ("Don't worry about rambling," the instructions said!) We've finally each completed the rough drafts for our individual statements of faith. Now we just need to type them up. We've also completed our family health history forms, which also asked us to describe our families' lifestyle & interests!

We need to have all the paperwork completed before we go up to Seattle. We will turn it all in during our orientation on the 18th. It almost feels like "Finals Week" again! We're praying that we will have the time, stamina, and answers to complete this step.
