A few days late. . .

2. That deep breaths can calm me and remind me to trust in our Lord.
3. Summertime!!!
A few days late from me too…
1. Finally being in our own apartment with all of our stuff put away and in order. Yessss.
2. My class which starts tomorrow.
3. That the three air conditioning units behind our apartment did not break down after our girls repeatedly threw handfuls of rocks into each of them. (That thanks is two-fold – that we don’t have to financially replace the units, and also that we weren’t without our beloved air).
