It has been a crazy week. There's been a lot of work to do, i've been trying to work in advance since i'll be gone next week...and we had 2 going away parties this week.
I've been in such a weird mood and so looking forward to my vacation that i haven't really thought about what it will be like when i come back...and emily is gone. What will it be like sitting in aftercare by myself? (on those days when everyone is in the field except for us?) Who will i talk to when i need just a little break on frustrating days?
it will all just be really different here when i get back from my trip. i feel like time is flying...and change just keeps happening. Just when our community here starts to feel normal, then something changes - someone comes or goes ect.
i'm going to go to an aftercare home tomorrow with stephanie and help her make things for I-sanctuary with the girls. It will make for a full day (along with saying goodbye to emily, filling out my visa form and packing)...but a good day too.

wow. that does sound like pretty constant change. much more than i experience in my life in colorado springs. good thing you can cling to the One who never changes, amidst all the change...
...praying for you...
Hey Melissa,
Have a good week away. I hope all goes smoothly.
We had an awesome day with your mom and dad, and all the Bock sibs, and G-Pa. Biking down the Trail, Pontooning on the lake. You know how we can laugh.
Praying for you as always.
Love Aunt Ruth
