IT'S JUNE!!

ok, i'm really excited that it's june...so much is going on in the next 30 days that i've been anticipating for weeks/months & finally the month has arrived! i know you're on the edge of your seat wondering what june has going for it besides flag day & the first day of summer so let me just share:

*several days of separate weekends spent with lauren walker...she lives in fort worth w/ the husband right now so time with her is rare
*KATE COOPER! will be passing through bham the 3rd weekend...one of my all-time best friends from college whom i haven't seen since maybe 2007. she's been in hawaii/japan for the past several years & is starting grad school in england soon so i'll be soaking up as much kate time as i can get. we used to skype when she was in hawaii but the japan-cst time difference made skype dates nearly impossible.
*HEATHER LACROIX! will be returning from nigeria the same weekend as kate to spend the next 4 weeks in the states before she returns for another year in nigeria. heather moved to nigeria from bham about the same time i moved to bham last year so skype can only do so much good before you're just ready to see someone's face!
*vbs with the middle schoolers at church...some of my fondest moments of life come from middle school and just the unique stage of life these youth are in makes me excited about getting a week to engage/get to know them. plus, i've been itching for some service time with the youth group and 2 days during the week we're going to serve alongside a church on a "different side" of town which of course is right up my alley :)
*moving...we're moving to a condo that's basically right up the street. but the positive is that it's not much different location wise or price.
*lake day! with my sunday school class the last saturday of the month in the midst of packing/moving to the condo so i'm sure it's going to be rather refreshing.

i'm sure some other fun activities will be added to the list but until then i'm ready to tackle this incredible list. bring it on june! i can't wait
