1st day of 5th grade

July 15, 2009

Wow. I think this day may have been harder on me emotionally than Kindergarten. The other years in between were ok, but this one was a little rough on me. It’s hard for me to believe Doodle is in 5th grade now. This break was unusually short for me — most of the time I [...]

I am a typical, spoiled, selfish American.
Ever since I’ve been saved and heard it preached that we need to go out into the mission field, I’ve said [...]
