Recap and Prep

Whew, It has been a while since I wrote anything down on here! Fall 2012 was full and good:

- Began working as a Sub. Abuse therapist at Catholic Charities WM with MDOC clients

- Completed 12 more credits of my Master's program (received all A's ;)

- Began mentoring a fun 5th grader at Burton Elementary School through Mars Hill Kids Hope

- Continued serving with the 2-yr-olds on Sunday mornings at Mars

- Played in Lauren's engagement video and watched with Bittersweet feelings as she moved back to Chicagoland!

- Chelsea moved back in, and we've begun the interesting adventure of two 20-something sisters living together again.

The fall semester ended in early December, and I have so ENJOYED the past weeks off from classes so much:
- Being able to come right home after work (and change into sweatpants)
- Time to cook
- More time for friends
- More time for crafts
- More time for reading
- More time for SLEEPING

Tomorrow it is back to the craziness again...My schedule will look something like:

Tonight I will enjoy ordering 100s dollars worth of textbook and getting out my backpack (joking!)

But really, I am grateful for this season and for all the learning and opportunities that I encounter.
