8.10.12 Evening

As I arrive back home after more school shopping, I am grateful to have such amazing friends... I am also still so excited, I passed my Civil Service test... YES... I am excited and will be patient to hear... (up to a year it's good for).....I am grateful for the kindness of those in our lives.  I appreciate the love and the support!!!! It really was a relaxing week, and a week of accomplishment.. I really did do it!!! I drove to NC and back (through a constant RAIN storm)... I am so happy that I can say I did it.  "I'm a grown up now!"..lol   Another thing off the bucket list... :-) Of course I forgot to get magnets on my way there and then Mackenzie actually slept past where to get them on the way home... HMMM time to plan the next trip??lol  Seriously, as I settle back in to reality I am going to try to remember the couple great nights of being able to do NOTHING and have another adult sitting next to me.  It's amazing how I took that for granted for years.  I wish you the grace and understanding that comes from our Lord and that when you have the opportunity to have a conversation with an adult, you realize what a gift it is.  Make the rest of this Friday, FABULOUS.....
