it was a great day. one of the few truly great from start to finish days i've had in a while. i observed an esl class this morning, and it just made me so excited to be around people from around the world. the funny thing is, i kept wondering, why did they come here? ha. but i don't know their stories. i'd like to! hopefully i will get to be a part of that course and build some relationships there. i also went and observed the class for adults studying to get their GED and things like that. that's neat too, i feel like it was an encouraging thing to see people being empowered in that way. so then i met courtney and we went for a run (we are such runner girls) and then went and had lunch. i love her! we have so much fun together, and we are gonna get our "team" together and move overseas and it'll be great. then i came home and hung out til small group, which was also fun and we had a mini celebration type thing our newly engaged couple and courtney who's moving next week (don't go! just kidding, it'll be good.) so all in all it was good.

the sunny weather has really impacted me, made me hopeful and excited. things are changing, i think for the good, and something's gonna happen! i'm just happy today, hopefully this is lasting...
