Two days in a row

That's right, two days in a row I have been to Ross. The cool thing is, I got to go tonight with another one of my favorite friends...

It was just about a year ago that I started my second year of teaching and what a year it was! It was incredible; great kids, great parents, and a great sense of family in my classroom. It was a life-changing year for sure. God's fingerprints were all over it. Through a few of those kids God led me to a new church, new perspectives, and many new friends. One of those friends is Kristy, her son was in my class. She is a wife, a mother of 4 boys, a teacher, and so much more. In a way that only God can, he allowed us to become friends throughout the school year. She encouraged me constantly, took the time to get to know me, and helped me in countless ways. Kristy is one of the most intentional, thoughtful, honest, and caring peope I know. She's also very funny. I can't really remember what she was telling me, but, Diet Coke totally almost came out of my nose tonight because I was laughing so hard. We're both "thinkers" so we can have some pretty crazy conversations and I genuinely enjoy every one!!

She's not much older than me, but, when I grow up I hope I'm a lot like her. I'm so thankful that just because the school year ended our friendship didn't.

So, who wants to go to Ross with me tomorrow? :)
