Today:
-felt 36 hours long
-had to be the hardest day of my teaching career
-was not a day for words, words, words
Today, I watched the power of a "team" in crisis
and felt so proud to call it my own
It was a day spent embracing students rather than teaching a lesson
and we just wept together
I begged for healing rain today for the grieving eyes I had to face
I begged for strength to face those eyes and this day period
This is a day that my Savior has made,
and honestly I am struggling to rejoice and be glad in it
But...
Today and all of my tomorrows-
I will trust in Him and His perfect plan
We took a weekend trip to see the "newlywed" friends and our Alum football team, CWU play WOU in Monmouth. Never been there before but had a blast connecting with them! They taught us a card game called "Nerts" that was a load of fun and laughs til 2 AM!! Luckily for the kids and I, we slept most of the way home. Poor BJ !
The kids enjoyed their time with "sissy".
BJ proudly displaying his team colors... which was confusing to some fans around us. He also cheered for Juan who is the kicker for WOU's team. We ended up winning which was mixed emotions for us. We tried not to rub it in... too much.
Juan brought DJ the game ball when he came home. No boy could have been prouder!
I love this one...
And can you believe I've never been to our state's capital before? This was a drive by photo and that's as close as I got. Oh well.
