some people's kids.

I never thought I would miss my kids. Really I didn't. I haven't even left yet, and I already miss them. There have been moments when I sit in class and watch them and I find myself tearing up out of pride for them and knowing that I am leaving them before they are leaving me. My kids have grown so much since I have been here. They are turning into little pre-teens, but not too much, they still gossip about their older siblings doing the unthinkable, making out! They informed me that they are definitely going to wait until they are old enough (16) to ever do anything that brash. And people wonder why I want to be a teacher. I don't, not today at least.

As my semester is coming to a close I am thinking about all the people here I would like to thank, and there are so many! I really have been blessed in my 4 1/2 months here. They say going overseas changes you, I guess I didn't believe them before, now I do. I feel like I have gone through several life changing experiences in college. It makes me wonder who I would be had I not gone to college. Yikes!

If you were in anyway a help or encouragement for me to go to Europe thank you. Thank you a million times. Once again I have found myself, found me and who I think I am growing up to be.

Weather Update: Still 40 degrees and rainy. Going on three weeks now.

Countdown: 10 more days of student teaching, 11 days until Mediterranean Cruise,21 more days until my Momma's 50th birthday, 27 more days before I go home and get some REAL hugs

Lesson learned this week: Never stop praying for someone. There is no such thing as a lost cause.
