If Your Friends Are There, Then Everything's Alright.

I just got off the phone with Annie Grace.  She is one of the most incredible people I've ever known.  I love when there's someone who you laugh with, even when things are rough or challenging or even shitty.  That's the kind of friend Annie Grace is.  We crack each other up, even when we ourselves are mired in crap!

I got a lot done today, including scrubbing floors and doing laundry.  I also started working on a big project that will keep me busy through September.  More on this later.

School starts tomorrow-- the first official day with students.  I'm so excited to get back into the swing of things with them.  I loved my summer and enjoyed the time off, but I was a little on the lazy side and even bored at times.  I'm thankful to have a job I love, and I look forward to going back to work!

Hey, Look! It's AnnieGrace!

This is lovely picture I blatantly stole from Stephen over at Are You There Blog, It's Me Stephen.

It's AnnieGrace, the one and only, and me at the Hydrate Disco Ball on Friday night.

Note the lovely smiles we put on one another's faces? Well, the open bar helped, too! The perspective of the picture makes her hands look large and scary, but they aren't. They're delicate and pretty.

Loving her! Loving Stephen for posting this! Loving Season of Concern for all they do!
