ahhhh

we made it...somehow we made it through the most intense spiritual training i supposed we will undergo in our lives.

i am strengthened, blessed, grateful beyond words, tearful (happy tears of course), nervous, prayerful, encouraged, changed, and ready to pop with excitement.

if you would like an in depth look at more exactly what we have been doing for the past 2 weeks, look at jessica's blog because she gave better details than i did.

we will be headed back to memphis this evening, after ryan, peter, and eric play golf with howard and his friend. meanwhile, i will be recharging my batteries before next week's chore of packing and moving out everything we own. i'm really excited to be back at highland tomorrow and see our friends that we've been away from for a while now.

i feel like i'm wrapped up in a warm blanket of jesus, and i want to wrap up everyone else in it with me.

words will never be enough to express how thankful i am for these men and many others (and their wives) for the difference they made in my life in only 14 days and they ways they touched my heart.
