DONE!

I did it!  I finished grad school. I'm officially a Master! I can't believe it! This year has flown by so quickly. It's really true --you can do anything for a year (even move in with your parents, liquidate your savings, change careers, and plan a wedding all while obtaining a Masters degree).  I mean at this rate, I should go and see if I can make it in the Big Apple Circus for a year. I think I could do it.
Well, I'm so thankful to everyone who encouraged and supported me along the way. (I'm not sure why that sounded like a valedictorian speech, are there even valedictorians in grad school? whatever, it came from the heart!) I'm so blessed, and SO happy not to be juggling work and school any longer. If God could get me through the craziness of this past year, I know my first year of teaching won't be too bad. Hopefully...
Truth is, I've been having dreams that my first day of school is like a preview for Dangerous Minds. Except I'm not nearly as tough as Michelle Pfeiffer. Maybe I should pack some Butterfingers and Snickers just to be safe.

    Hooray you! Way to go, smarty pants!

    You will be a great teacher, I've just got that feeling. Can't wait to read about your adventures in the classroom!

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Adoption

Levi's First package. A kit for us to use in case his G-tube comes out.... hmmm I think he'd rather have some new socks, and I'm pretty sure we'll just take him to the doctor for that procedure. Sweet boy sleeping soundly at CHOA. Got it put up in his new changing station/closet. The sign was hung, the house was cleaned, and I started packing his clothes at Scottish Rite to bring him home! Then his nurse walked in and said, "So..... he didn't have a very good night. The doctor wanted to talk to you because I don't think he's going to let him go home today." I doubt the sweet nurse new that she had just taken my insides and jarred them to pieces. We've been praying for God to bring Levi home in His perfect timing, so I had to assume that it just wasn't perfect yet. Although, the longer we wait to bring our baby home, the harder it feels like it will be when he gets here. Matthew and I haven't seriously talked about adopti...
