I just want to go home! 4 days, please go by fast! I have lot's of stuff to do before I go, but I think I can get it all done in time.
I think God is really trying to teach me patience and is pointing things out in my life that need to change. I don't like it, and I'm stubborn, so this is something really hard for me. I don't like change, even if it's good. I have to warm up to the idea of change. There are things that I am doing that are causing me stress and my roommate stress that I'm thinking need to change. I'm not the only one to blame for the stress in my house right now, but I've realized that I'm not even trying to change that. Be in prayer for me in this! I think the time away will be good...
I can't wait to go home (in case you haven't gotten that memo...). I can't wait to see and hang out with my family, see my friends, get some hugs, and rest. I can't wait to relax for 12 days! Thursday, come quickly!
I don't really have a whole lot to post, other than I leave Thursday!!! YAY!!!!
Blessings!

Ninjas
I've told this story to quite a few people, and Linda said I should write about it in my blog. So here it is...
I had to work Halloween grave by myself. I was not happy. Luckily, it was a very quiet night - not one phone call, no one came walking in the door, none of the kids AWOL'd...it was a great night.
It was the night after that stuff went down.
Again, working by myself, at about 1:45 in the morning, I hear the front door open. I get ready for whoever it is to come to the office, but no one comes. About two minutes later, I hear the front door open and close again. Again, I don't see anyone. Then, about ten minutes later, I hear the door open and close again, and I look outside to see a kid looking at me through the window. Freaked me out. The kid turned around and started staggering down the ramp toward the parking lot. So I grab my huge MagLite flashlight (just in case...) and go to check it out. As I leave the office door, I practically run over another kid that is standing right by the office. Again, freaked me out. The kid is just looking at me! So I ask if there is anything I can do for him, and he says, "uh..." and walks into the conference room. I don't want to go in there because I don't know who or what else is in there. So I go to the next office over and get Ryan (he drives MCU and was doing paperwork). I ask for his help, he comes out and starts to go after the two kids that have now left Cornerstone. He comes back chuckling to himself. He says, "I've never seen that happen here before! They said that they wanted to be ninja's and sneak through Cornerstone, but staff caught them, so they left." Great...Now I have bears AND ninja's to worry about! So Ryan called the police to let them know. The rest of the night was great, and nothing has happened since KNOCK ON WOOD!!!
In other news, they hired another part-time grave person, so I won't have all the nights by myself...only a few. I'm thankful for that. Also, I get to come home in 13 days!!! I can't wait for that either.
Hope you are all doing well! Love you and miss you!
Blessings!
