Life...Ain't It Great

Do you ever feel like you are sitting still
while life is rushing all around you?
... I am there ...
There are SO many things I feel like I need to be dealing with
and it's either too soon to deal with them
or I'm just too tired to try.

Brandon and Brooke's wedding is coming up soon
... less than 3 months ...

Emily leaves for Australia
... less than a month ...
I feel completely unprepared for this!

Ethan's camp papers are due in now, but I'm having to wait
on papers from his school.

So, with all this coming, here I sit on the computer.
I'm a typical orange personality!
Wish I had a gold or green personality to fix all this for me!!!

Wow, it's been a while since I posted anything, but it's been a whirlwind of activity!

First, Relay for Life

What an amazing even this is.

The people that put this together ROCK!

I was originally given the job of team captain for Jones,

and now I will gladly take it again for next year.

What fun we had doing this..pictures on my Facebook.

Second, Boston...Where Everybody Knows Your Name.

Heck, I can't understand anybody up there, so if they know my name I wouldn't know! lol

We took five girls, and I hope they got as much out of the trip as I did.

Orchard House -- I LOVE YOU!!

Fenway Park -- One more major league ballpark down -- oh yeah!

Harvard -- I felt incredibly inadequate

Author's Ridge at Sleepy Hollow Cemetary -- Absolutely beautiful

Food -- Oh my goodness

Third, graduation...sad, sad, sad

I always dread this day.

I didn't cry this time (not at school anyway) because I was gone the last week.

It's so hard to become friends with these kids and watch them leave.

I hope I have helped them grow in some ways, because I know they have me.

I learn something from every group that comes through.

And now it's the summer semester...

the cleaning out and up of my office...

the catching up on all the things I can't do with students coming in and out...

the packets that Brigade usually does for me (not my favorite!)...

tours for kids in transistion that have made last minute decisions...

...I love my job...
