TGIT

today has been awesome. i've worked on bulletin board stuff, i'm getting ready to go meet cindy and steph at los tequilos, and then i'm spending the afternoon working on postcards to remind the kids when youth group starts.

i'm excited for this new year of ministry, i'm excited for growth in my students, i'm excited for youth specialties in november and seeing old friends; it's going to be a good year.

i'm trying to think of more big events to do with the kids. i've also got some new fundraisers up my sleeves [one specifically for gas money, called "Eat here and Get gas!"]. i want this year to be a fun year. this job isn't as stressful after the first year.

i'm also painting my office soon. i think "blue wave" but "trout stream" is also an option, mainly because the name "trout stream" is ridiculous [they're both blue-green]. i got some sweet artwork when i was in minnesota, and i'll add that to the room as well. there's a lot of tiny things going on which really excite me, i guess, but it's definitely going to be a good year. this year feels different from last year. i don't have to prove myself as much as i did last year, which is stupid that i would have to in the first place, but it's a good feeling.

los tequilos is calling my name. adios!
