Cuddly Kittens

Although I'm not a Cat Lady by any stretch of the imagination, I got to pretend to be one on Sunday. A rocking chair, a Real Simple magazine, and three cats? You really can't read....

So, I snapped a few.

Precious, eh?

Laws

I wish there wasn't a thing such as a copyright law for this post. I wish I could post pictures of my beautiful children, but I can't. :(

Instead, I will write about them.

I love them. Someone asked me recently if they had stolen my heart yet... um yes. Each one is so different, and I love that.

Recently, we have done quite a few very fun things:

The next month or two we're going to do quite a bit more. I'm very excited--- community service projects, science experiements, movie and popcorn night, jeopardy games, and most of all.... hopefully see large improvements in skills and grades.

Less than 50 days until the big test. This week, I was overwhelmed but now I'm refocused. I'm thankful for that- God did that in a split second. I realized why I am there, and that no roadblock is gonna keep us from getting to the finish line. EVEN if it's been a bad week! Fewf.

Thanks, God... for the pep talk :)

Here's to kids that I love. Kids that have huge problems of their own that I can't fix.. Kids that need truth in their lives to set them free, and motivate them past where they are today.

Sometimes

You get overwhelmed with thankfulness for people who are important in your life. They walk with you, laugh with you, and you have the joy of encouraging them. I'm blessed to have people like this. I really am.

Today, I'm thankful for my best friend.

It was her birthday ten days ago, and last night we celebrated by buying pillows for our couches and little fun things. Adult life is much more relaxed and less of an extravaganza than it used to be. I love that, though... It doesn't make a birthday any less important- just more savored. It was great. And to top it off, the snow started falling!

Here's to companionship. People who understand you. People who are honest and love you through life. Thank you for that, best friend.

And, Happy Belated Birthday :)
