Three things you didn't know

***Blog Hopping!

First.

My sister is one of my favorite people in the world. (She is one of MANY, no favorite playing here, no sir!). She is not on my top list just because of her beauty, she doesn't realize she's beautiful! She's not on my list just because she's smart and super driven and hard-working. Or because she can out-procrastinate me. Or can communicate entire volumes to me with just one word and a raised eyebrow. Well, actually it IS JUST BECAUSE of all those things, with the following added bonus:

Nobody cracks us up as much as we do!

Second: Baptists CAN dance. Just not me. Though, that's no secret.

Man, I love that kid! She cracks me up and makes me want to take my job as her Aunt SO SERIOUSLY. I consider it one of my greatest honors to talk to her about Jesus all the live-long day. Plus, girl can DANCE.

And Third:

Finally. . . after a 8-year long "semester off," I will be graduating college!!! In 42 weeks!!! Sure, you may say "But 42 weeks is longer than it takes to grow a baby!
Why are you telling us NOW?"
I tell you NOW because I am excited NOW. I can see the tunnel. And I'm working hard to get to the tunnel so that I can see the light at the END of the tunnel, you know? And it's been HARD. And INCONVENIENT. And of course, if I could go back in time, I'd have napped less, studied more and maybe even, you know, GONE TO CLASS the first time around. But I didn't. So this is the opportunity God has allowed me to complete that task. And I am SO grateful. And who knew being AWAKE could make such a difference??

That's it. Three things. All of them are a huge part of my life and heart.
Glad I could share them with YOU.

P.S. I think this last picture will go on my graduation announcements.
How proud will our Mama be??
