End of Year Wrap Up

(Week of June 13th)


Thankful today for my big bro and sis in law... Thankful that we connected for another yummy meal and had good, real chats.

Thankful for the 1st meeting starting off well in Okanogan. Good crowds. God gave help. Let the next 2 weeks be FULL of blessing and encouragement :)

Thankful for friend's invitations to hang out. Although my tired self wanted to retreat- I said YES and had such a good night... Hudson swam and swam until 10:30pm!! And yes he slept til 9am the next day :)

Thankful for answered prayers and the safe healthy arrival of our friends Princess T!

Thankful for reminders that the Lord could come... today... and to not let the stresses of the day to day life get us down...
Today's Wisdom Hunter quote: "The deeper your relationship with Jesus, the broader your influence for Jesus"

Thankful that we have 6 days left of school.

Thankful for already walking down the dark grief road, so I can be a better encourager & comforter to my dear sis during her grief road

Thankful to have survived another Father's Day... Not my fave holiday

Thankful to have heard news about Hudson receiving special Ed preschool in the fall for speech & OT. They qualified him as having a developmental delay & although I'm
Thrilled by the services & early intervention ... Hearing the deficits that they think he has was emotionally draining... But he's a tough kiddo & will work hard :)

Thankful for mark & Brenda bacherts visit in Sunday & encouragement during ministry... words from The Word that hit.home.hard. Yes. Thank you.

Thankful for continued blessing in WA - (week one done, week 2 begins. Week 1 Schedule: mornings free, afternoon Teen Time, Supper all together, Gospel Meeting. Week 2 Schedule: VBS in the mornings, lunch together, teen time, supper together, gospel meeting)

Thankful that my principal is a crazy go getter & made sure our non educational field trip was approved

Thankful for my friends on here, that knew about my crazy 1st year in this amazingly crazy and increasingly dangerous city and prayed me through and supplied my kiddos with amazing resources.... love you... very much. xo

Thankful that today I get to announce 24 kindergarten "graduates" and that they all will get some sort of award... even if it's the "Triers Award".... they will all get recognized... and I am alive and smiling to tell about it :) It was the longest year ever.... but thankful for being stretched totally outta my pintrest comfort zone :)

Thankful to be CHECKED IN!!! Sea Tac here we come tomorrow morning!!!!! Party of 5 time!!!!!
