This last week has been especially wonderful for several reasons.
1. I was able to reunite with 25 of my previous students from K-3rd grade. They are now 16, and some are even driving!!! D and I hosted a Third Grade Reunion Party at our house, and we (along with Kim and Amber) had THEE BEST time. My favorite part of the night was just watching the children interact with one another as most had not had continual contact after sixth grade.
2. Amber was here from Oregon! I can't tell you how excited I get to spend time with the Korenthals and what a treat it is for me to share such a meaningful relationship with Amber. We ran together (she kept a FASTER pace!!!), we drank coffee in the mornings, we drove to Santa Barbara and spent the day there (with E and A), we went to pool, and we were even able to fit in a good-bye lunch at Wolf Creek (ice tea, salad, and my fav: taquitos). Your friendship is a continual gift to me, Amber! And I can't wait see you, C-Koren, I and A next summer (if not before).
3. Lastly, I am just grateful for the life God has given me. The savior of the world has redeemed me, freed me, and renewed me. He has given me a new hope and a new life in Him. He has also given me an opportunity to run with a great group of women. He has given me two boys that I adore and have the awesome opportunity to shephard. He has given me a desire for my husband that's incomparable! He has given me a small business that continues to grow and thrive. There are just too many things to mention.
And for that, I am simply "humbled with gratitude."

I am so happy for you! Sounds like a really great week! Wow Amber- faster than T? You are both in great shape!
I can't believe how big the kids are!
Love you.
It's true! Amber was ahead of me and making me sweat! The time with the children was SO fun! The next time you're here, we'll schedule another reunion. I want to do one every year. Love you.
Tiff,you are so funny! I love being with you. You were "tired"--that's the only reason. ;) I wish our time could have been more. Thanks for the great lunch at Wolf Creek! I love that we can talk about anything and everything.
