Experience

Sometimes we have plans of productive nights of laundry, grading, making things for tomorrow's lessons...

and then those plans get interrupted by wonderful things --

Wild at Heart holding words I needed to hear, helping me understand some of life's recent happenings.

Tacos on the patio with the Texas fam...lingering there with good weather, good conversations, wonderful pups, and a margarita.

Singing silly songs with Donna, forgetting our adult persona we carry into the classroom every day.

An hour and a half conversation with a dear friend about life. God's work in our lives. Seeing how far we've come as friends and individuals. Sharing joy and excitement about things coming up in the next year of our lives. How beautiful life is.

With the exception of one of my 2nd graders throwing up EVERYwhere today, I'd say it was a good day. (That's a post in and of itself. Just you wait.)
