This year we spent Thanksgiving with our good friends Graham and Olivia. Olivia was a yearlong intern at Windy Gap last year but we met Graham first. We were placed in the same training group last fall when we were going through wrangler training to be able to run the ropes course on the weekends at WG. The Lord definitely knew what he was doing when he placed us in the same group! It's been so fun to walk with these two this past year while they were engaged and now we get to be married friends!
Yesterday morning, Casey and spent some time going back and forth talking about things we were thankful. It was amazing to look back on the last year and see all of the things the Lord has brought to us in just one year. At this same Thanksgiving last year, we were both part time in our jobs, we had a few friends and fewer deep relationships and Asheville still felt like a weird vacation that kept on going. Since then, Casey's been made full time at the Y, we moved into our house, and developed deep relationships with people who feel like family. We lost Gatsby, gained Marcel and I started my dream job at Windy Gap in the same week. We figured out this great juggling act of full time jobs, full time loving on high school kids, and full time being in charge of a teenager. Then, we had added another teenager/man to live with us. I've grown so much as a person and wife and watched Casey evolve into a man greater than one I could have cooked up in my dreams. The Lord has blessed us so much. I can't believe my life has turned into what it has.
Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!
