And that is a wrap......

Can't really complain when my days ends with all the lights shut off in my half packed apartment, windows open listening to the rain, thunder and lightening.   It is May 12th, which officially marks the end of the CCU 2011-2012 school year.  All my kids are packing up and moving home for the summer. My graduate are celebrating 4 years of hard work tonight.  This was my first 4 year class.  We came into CCU together...... they were freshman and a I was a new graduate assistant athletic trainer not quite knowing what to expect.  I had the extreme blessing and honor to watch those kids grow in the last four years. Watching them fall down, struggle and get beat up (metaphorically speaking of course) and picking themselves up and fighting back.  They are now confident, Godly men and women who have restored my hope in the future generation.  Now I can confidently call them my friends.

I have loved being a part of their journey these past four years...... how lucky am I to be able to live life with them for four short years.  The lessons I have learned from this group of kids!!!  I could write a novel.
Coffee and Chocolate really do solve almost everything!
You are never too old to jam out to a ridiculous song.
People are crazy, the world is crazy, BUT GOD IS STILL GOOD!
Laughter is the best medicine.
It is easy to walk away from things, but to stay and fight is the real challenge.
Some days you have to grin, nod and give a hand a good squeeze just to survive.

I have incredibly fond memories with these kids! And I can't help but reflect on how I have grown because of them.  To my senior class 2012, you hold a special place in my heart!


So it is officially summer. Not quite sure when that happened.  My calendar is already filling up. With work, moving, volunteering at Sonlight, some very important weddings that I am going to, traveling with PGC and a little bit of everything else.

So, I guess that is it. This school year is officially done.  What a ride it has been.
