it's the annual birthday review! in the past year, i've:
-started a blog
-reconnected with friends via facebook
-took a summer off and got paid for it!
-went to honduras & had a great time
-started my second year of teaching
-started going to a new church
-moved out on my own
-have had to use my crutches less & less
as you see, there are a lot of new starts, and i'm glad for that. it's kind of weird to look back at my life and see how i've changed since college. i saw my undergrad id the other day as i was cleaning, and it took me back to all the hopes & dreams, the wide-eyed innocence and that hot friday when i locked my keys in my car the day of freshmen orientation. :)
a lot has happened in the years since that august friday, and sometimes i try to hide those changes so much that it hurts. i mean really hurts. but all in all, i rest in the fact that i'm not doing life alone & that God is in control. i just look for the times when i can be used as his instrument.
in other news, and a happy pre-day gift is that shaun came back to school today looking rested and relieved!! thanks to all who prayed for him (and me) this past week. please keep praying for us both as the school year draws to a close. 12 more weeks!
i'm looking forward to chocolate cake over the next four days! happy b-day to me!

Happy Birthday!!!
I hope you do something really crazy and fun!
Alright, you heard it. My mother just advised you to do something crazy. So the next time I do something crazy you must testify about this moment:). Hope things are going well for you and that you have a great Birthday!
Since both of you stay out of the country more than in it...you can both get away with a lot of "craziness". Just remember, even if Mom doesn't know - God is watching you!
