getting ready
I left my spring orientation meeting on Monday night with a ton of home cooked , freezer-ready meals. Homemade pastas, breakfast casserole, crockpot meals…. Yum! I am constantly reminded that the people who enter the field of teaching do so because they have hearts of gold and want to make a difference in others’ lives. Other friends have offered meals, help with kids, time to talk, or whatever else we may need – it has been heartwarming. We are surrounded by authentic, generous people and I am so grateful.
As I mentally prepare for surgery I know my family will be well fed, well taken care of, and in the thoughts of countless family and friends. Rustin will post an update on here and on FB on Thursday afternoon. Hubby has been fantastic and is all ready to take on the extra responsibilities. Devin and Delia seem to be a little more anxious lately. They don’t like the thought that we’ll be out of town for two nights, but I think they are just starting to get a bit more curious about the whole surgery thing too. I just want it to be done.
Can’t wait to post my first post-surgery blog and see what kind of incoherent rant I can compose! I know I will reflect on all of this a year or ten years from now and appreciate my own willingness to document my musings. Thanks for following along.
Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts. If you pray, meditate or whatever else, I ask that you pray for healthy, well-rested doctors, steady hands, and focused minds. Also asking for clear margins, negative lymph nodes, and a quick recovery.
Much love to all!!
