You have had a crazy year, girl! I was thinking back over this past year too, and January feels like forever ago! It is hard to believe that all of the things that were a part of 2008 were less than a year ago! Happy New Year to you! I hope 2009 is as blessed and memorable for you as 2008!
Praise the Lord for a fantastic and FULL year. I am sure this one will be filled with incredible challenges and blessings as well. Praying for your new semester with the students you will impact. Keep running the race marked out for you!!!! Love you friend!
I enjoyed reading all the way through your blog. (I admit to being a skimmer sometimes!) I'm glad that you are still enjoying your time there.
