Thankful for all of my sweet friends at our YL senior club.  I can’t believe my time as an OHS Young Life leader has come to an end.  The cool thing about Young Life is that even though I will not be at club every Monday or have campaigners every Wednesday, I will still have relationships with all of these people.  

I am so thankful for Allison, Leland, Eden, (Mary Sybil, Lynley-Love, Emory, Sammi) and the nights we spend having CampAigners together.  I am thankful for every boy we gossiped about and every cookie we ate.  I am thankful that we got to work through tough situations together.  I am thankful that we got to learn from each other.  I am thankful for the hours we spent in Mary Sybil’s playroom on the floor.  I am thankful for the time we spent around the kitchen table at the Wildflour.  I am thankful for my senior girls who graduate high school in just a few days.

I am thankful for my Brittany Woods girls.  Thankful that they make me listen to Beyonce way too loud.  I’m thankful that they call me their friend no matter how white I am.  

I am thankful for my team.  They never gave up on me… even when I totally failed at being team leader.  I’m thankful that they didn’t ever get mad at me for being late.  I’m thankful for their love for high schoolers.  I know my kiddos are in good hands even though I will not be in Oxford anymore.  

And finally, I am thankful for John Bobo.  He has been my friend since YL leader training in 2009— ever since he made an awkward comment to me in the Martin Lobby.  I am thankful for his ability to read me like a book and thankful for his listening ear.  I am thankful that he is my friend.  

I love all of these people and I am so glad that we get to continue our friendships for all eternity.  

Congratulations to my sister and her new fiance! We are so excited for these two! They will be married on November 2!

The girls added a little extra decoration to my once boring sign.

Special thanks to the owner of Rebel Bookstore for letting us sell his 25 extremely valuable parking spots during Double Decker weekend this year.  Young Lifers spent all night Friday and all day Saturday selling parking spots.  We left with a grand total of $1533 on Saturday afternoon.  My girls and I get to go to camp with the money we raised!! Thank you Rebel Bookstore man and thank you Jesus for providing!

Well, my babies went to prom last night.  Ashley, Maria, and Lakayla got their hair done and put on their pretty dresses and were off to the Circus themed prom.  I was lucky enough to take them to take pictures before. Aren’t they just beautiful?  

(Shal is just a baby so she got to be my tagalong/photo helper)

I got to play photographer this weekend with Collins and Jesse.  They have built all of this awesome furniture and are about to launch their website.  I am honored to be their furniture photographer! We had a fun day taking all of these photos! 

Catch up— bc poor wannabegranola and all of my super followers have been missing me for the last 4 months.

Student teaching has put me in a technology hole for 40 hours each week since January.  OUCH. But I am almost finished and hopefully wherever I end up in August will have internet—maybe even wireless. OMG.  A lot has happened since my exit from the world of wifi, starbucks, and cell phone service.
