"That's not a friendship bracelet Miss Wright, that's a Sydney bracelet."

Highs of the Day:

-meeting these awesome girls at 6:30 this morning to talk about the next chapters of Love Does

-figuring out we're up to 87 CILTs signed up for the reunion in just over two weeks

-hearing my student's stories about summer memories and traditions

 

-having Gavin and Sam, two 7th grade boys, sit on stage with me during C lunch
-seeing so many girls wear their new Young Life spirit jerseys to school today
-playing Airport Waiting Game, Spot It and Sporkle with FBC because the games are "the best part of Julia's life"
-starting to make bracelets that we'll eventually sell and donate to the International Justice Mission to help with their fight against human slavery and sex trafficking

-laughing with my FBC girls and feeling so lucky to get to be a teacher here
-meeting Emily Glanders for dinner tonight and then showing her my school and watching the 8th grade basketball game
-skyping with Mags for way too long because once you start talking to her you just don't want to stop
