Mini-Reunion at Adam & Alicia's

So, last weekend some of the old gang got together at Adam & Alicia's house for a mini-reunion! We had a lot of fun and made some new memories. I can't believe how much my girls (Ivy, Autumn, and Cora) have grown up. The day Cora was born, God called me to be a midwife. We're coming up on four years since that happened. The reunion also gave me a chance to say goodbye to those I won't see again before I leave!

Blake tryin' his hardest to keep his balance.

Initiation! Brace yourself, David!

Looks like Whitaker is laughing, as Bryan delivers a moving speech.

Jamie's trying to do a pushup with Cora & Autumn sitting on her back!

That's my Ivy-girl smilin' big for her Auntie Briana.

Hehe! Blake, Whit & Melissa! I don't even know what to say about the look on Blake's face!

Blake, Melissa & Whitaker. Looks like a serious conversation.

David and Cameron (hiding behind the guitar)!

Blake, that is not your heartbeat you hear!

Melissa!!! Yea!

Cameron! Looking very smug!

T-minus 4 weeks...

Well, today marks 4 weeks until I leave, exactly. I'm having mixed emotions for sure. I'm exhausted from staying up too late, stressed because I'm trying to get all of my homeowork finished and turned in by next Tuesday (even though most of it isn't due until the following Tuesday), and overwhelmed with realizing how much I'm going to miss everyone at home.

More later...
