I am amazed at how God makes everything in my life fit together in such an amazing way! Sometimes I don't always see that right away. I will be leaving for college in two months and up until a few days ago, I knew I would be upset over being far away from home but it never hit me until just then. So I was laying there in the dark just sobbing to myself about how much I would miss my mom and dad and then it hit me: Going far from home is going to be a part of my life from this point on. Once college is over, I could find a teaching job anywhere. And if and when I find myself headed to Romania (or anywhere for that matter) I will be homesick, but I need to be strong. I know I will be able to with Gods help, but it will be tough. I am thankful for everyone is is praying for me and supports the passions that I have.

Thank-you for first graders

I haven't written here for awhile. I intended to write here whenever something really funny happened or something interesting ahppened, but I never got around to it. Oh well. But, I wanted to (in a way) say thank-yous for my first grade class this year. Technically, you weren't really my students, but I enjoyed helping you and watching you grow. You have all changed so much since I first came in September. Thank-you for showing me all about what first grade is like. Thank-you for making me laugh and think and listen. It's wierd to think that when I am out of college in four years, you will be in *gasps!* FIFTH GRADE! But it is okay. I will teach other kids, but your class will always be remembered as a special one. So, thank-you :)
