i heart family and friends

i feel so blessed to have such an amazing group of family and friends in my life. i hadn't talked to wendy in forever - so it was awesome to catch up a couple of days ago. and just to share about our mutual discouragements and things we're learning about. even my mom calls in to check and make sure i'm doing alright. i have friends who pray for me and encourage me all the time - verbally and through e-mail. and friends who will offer to help me grade papers - as well as feed me. i can't even imagine what life would be like without all the help, love, support, and prayer. i suppose i might have stepped over the line of sanity without you all.

i do really have a lot to celebrate - even if first year teaching is not one of those things...YET. :)

some of your friends also offer to write comments on those graded papers, but you always turn those friends down. you should accept help when it is offered, mansion dweller.
