Whew - it's been awhile!  Teaching has kept me crazy busy lately.  May 31 - almost done! 

By far the highlight this spring. . . Ryan graduated today!  He worked hard these part few weeks - I was definitely proud! Love you!

a year ago yesterday was a fantastic day. . .

a year ago tomorrow, i received a wonderful surprise. . .

a year ago tomorrow, i was wearing a short sleeve shirt outside and there was no snow on the ground.

I just kinda feel like I'm in a rut. 

2 days off of school and a 2 hour delay tomorrow - crazy. 

I saw Jenny Read today and it was amazing.  Isn't crazy how someone can be such a huge part of your life at one time and then our paths continue to split?  I miss the summer at 405 Wooster - good times with Jenny.  It's interesting how poeple come into our lives for a season for a purpose that God sees fit.  Very interesting. 

It's supposed to snow tonight - yipee!  Normally, I wouldn't want the snow nor would I like it.  However, I'm kinda hoping for the white stuff.  Weird. 

I think that he is pretty amazing.

This Thanksgiving was one of the best.  The whole weekend was wonderfull.  I spent a lot of time with Ryan and his family.  Since the weather was so nice, we played kickball and sardines outside Friday night.  It was great to feel so welcomed by hus family and shared in gratitude over the holiday.

As I reflected on the past year, I am most grateful for my relationship with Jesus Christ.  I am most grateful for the past 6 months.  In a way, it was "easy" to be a Christian at Grace.  There were always opportunities to grow.  Now that I have graduated, I have had to seek out ways to grow on my own.  My relationship with Christ is a direct result of the effort that I put forth in it.  Over the transitions of the last few months, my relationship with Him is what is always came down to.  I am eternatlly grateful for the relationship that I have with my Creator.
