Hi friends! It's been a while. Since I last talked to you, I walked across the stage to get my Master's, went to a conference in North Carolina for a week (which was AWESOME), and am trying to do some final planning on my middle school mission trip which starts June 1. It's coming right up!

I have to tell you how great this day is so far. I actually went to bed at a decent time last night, so I woke up (on my own!) at 7:45 this morning. On Wednesdays, I don't usually go into the office until late morning or noon-ish, because we have youth on Wednesday nights and I'm there until 8, 8:30, or after. SO, I've already showered and gotten ready and now just get to chill until I need to go to work. This is exciting -- I'm going to try it more often.

I do need to go shopping for some grad. gifts this morning, though. I'm getting my kids toolboxes (filled). That was my favorite gift when I graduated from high school, because I took it with me to college and still use it today. I've just added to it along the way. They already had their Baccalaureate last Sunday. Graduation is THIS Saturday. Can you believe it??

Sorry for the uneventful post. Sometime I'll tell you about what the UPS man said about my apartment smell or about the yippy dog next door. Those stories will definitely make things more exciting....

Have a happy Wednesday!
