Aidan. Straightup this kid teaches me more about myself than I would have ever been able to do without him. Just a couple days ago I had to have a pep talk with him when he was losing his football video game about how everybody loses. Nobody wins 100% of the time...hmmm. Good reminder mom.
Learning how to be a family first and foremost. In a year where I actually have less time with my family I have found I have loved and appreciated them more.
Summer coming. How could I not be? And seriously it is so stinking close I can taste it.
The excitement that Crick and Mindy have for the vision of going to Estonia. I also know it will be a blessing to be so close to them in the next year as they get closer to going on the field.
Still running. Running just because it is good for my heart, soul, mind, and body. Learning how to take care of myself without strict training.
The continual reminder of God's character that the Psalms brings. Even when I'm sucking it up investing in my time with God he continually brings me back in and hasn't changed.
The ocean. I loved it. I am now dreaming of a time where I will live on it. :)
Sod coming. Seriously I couldn't be more excited for grass.
Jeremy. His wisdom, his talents, his humility, and his encouragement. Going back to work has grown us together in ways that have humbled me and I am so so grateful.
God's continual provision. I want for nothing. I am blessed in so many ways and so many times I get ahead of myself and get like a greedy kid who just wants more. I want to live with a giving spirit where it is natural to give not take.
Students who just make me laugh. Are honest with me, are frustrating, and teach me as I teach them.
A job for next year.
The kids school that is phenomenal beyond words. I literally couldn't put into words how great this year has been for them...especially Aidan.
And a reminder that once I start lists like these I could go on forever. That rocks.
