Well, I have been a Blog stalker for long enough, I guess. I thought that I would give this a try. I am really not sure what to write, and I really not sure if anyone will even read this. I guess I will tell you a little about myself first. I am a Speech Pathologist (or speech therapist, speech teacher, speech lady - I have been called it all.) for Columbus City Schools. For the most part, I love my job. As with any job, some days are better than others. I have the privilege of working with preschool students, mostly at Headstart, and doing the preschool testing. Most people would not like working at Headstart, but I absolutely love it. I get to help children who, for the most part, come from underprivilege households. It never ceases to amaze me what some of these children have gone through already in their short lives. Another great aspect of my job is that I am off in the summer!!!! 7 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!

This is summer is going to go by so fast. They always do. It always seems like we go back earlier and earlier each year. My summer is already packed full of stuff. I will be teaching Bible school the first week of June and keeping John James while his parent are out of town. I am sure that this blog will be full of stories from John James. He is my little Boo-Boo. I have kept him since he was 8 months old and he is now 5. I will have to fill you in later about how his family and I became so close. They are truly my second family. I will also be going to Peru on a mission trip in July. I am definitely going to need all the prayers I can get for that. I am very nervous about going, but I know that God is leading me there this summer. It will be a wonderful adventure for sure.
