School

Well I think it just sunk in. It is September 15th and I have yet to study for a test, research to write a paper or devote an entire morning, afternoon, evening or night to reading. No more school. I did it for 17 straight years and it is done... for now. I am settled into my job but it is different now that the kids are back in school and I am not.

It's weird... I don't think I miss it really... maybe I do. It is weird to now be going back to my elementary/middle school and high school, now to volunteer and such. It was weird to sit in the office at KVMS for a different reason this time!!! No detention!

I miss MCC too. Mostly just the people. It was so nice to be around so many of my friends all the time and know everyone's schedule was close to yours. I miss my brother too. Maybe that's it. We have spent the last four summers apart but this time its for good.

This post doesn't seem to be coming to any kind of point... oh well at least you read it! Good luck in school this year if you go and um good luck just the same if you don't.

It just keeps getting weirder the older you get, because you see a group of University students walking by and you refer to them as kids, and you are like 'holy crap, Im old!!!'

Embrace the new normal. There's a lot of truth in "for everything there's a season...".

Dan it can be hard to leave what you have known for the past 4 years of your life. Thats why its so awesome to know that when your down you can turn to God's People to help you through. There is lots to be learned from the people God puts in our lives, and he has taught me lots through the many people he has put in my life, especially in the past 2 or 3 years of my life.
God's Rocks! and His blessing is with you, your in my prayers brother!
May God Bless You as He has Blessed me through you!
P.S. Happy birhtday Dan if I don't get a hold of you Thursday!
