its been another crazy week for us, but thankfully, we're coming to the tail end. lots more baseball & soccer games this weekend, as well as the open house at ev's school (tonight is the right night... i double checked) and small group tonight too. then, on friday we'll get to see drew and taylor play with the school band at the high school football game "pre-show". that should be fun!
i'm reliving my junior high days as i listen to the boys share about their lives, especially drew. just yesterday, we talked about my first boyfriend (dudley: 6th-7th grade), who didn't acknowledge my existence after we broke-up in 7th grade. then, we were forced to sit next to each other in 8th grade and somehow became friends again. i think this is quite normal (and was explaining the "normalcy" of it to drew). i must say, it is far better to be where i am (many years separated from those events) and only experiencing (slanted or rose-colored?) memories than to be in the "anguish of the moment" in middle school... everything seems to be heightened at that age. somehow, like when i volunteered with middle school girls years ago, i always seem to relate really well to teens & pre-teens. wonder why that is??
anyway, i'm so thankful that the boys are comfortable and willing to share things with me. we talk very easily and can be open and honest. this is such a blessing to me and i hope it is for them as well. i also hope that we continue to be able to communicate like this! :)
