AWESOME NEWS!
I think we will be able to move next week. I know it has been stressful for the students, but I promise it will all be worth it! We will have a bright shiny new room. I can hardly wait. Thank you to everyone who worked on, supported, assisted, and prayed for the building. Words cannot express my gratitude and excitement.
Now on to funny things:
I saw this sign the other day and it kind of sums up about how I feel lately: I AM SO BUSY...... I DON'T KNOW IF I FOUND A ROPE OR LOST MY HORSE. I know you probably have felt that way some days too.
