Race for the Cure
Yesterday was my first 5K since December.
There were 15,000 people (in pink!) at Atlantic Station!
Anna and I both ran "in celebration" of women we admire.
Other news... just one more week of school, then a week of exams/ graduation. So, in less than 2 weeks, I'll be completely done! yipee!

Update...
We have some big news... when we got back from Haiti we had 2 e-mails congratulating us for being accepted into the Assistantship Program. We went to NC that next weekend for Bryan's wedding and while we were there we were very encouraged and started really thinking about accepting our posts. So Monday, April 20th, we notified GACS that we would not be coming back next year. We will be moving to France for the '09-'10 school year. We were accepted in the academy of Lyon, so we really hope that we are placed in the city. I have not yet told my students... I was waiting until the new French teacher was determined. But word is getting around quickly, so I probably need to tell them soon! Please keep us in your prayers!

Smores 'n' more
It was cold one day last week and Doug decided to make smores... using a coat hanger and the broiler. Does anyone else think this sounds a little dangerous?
We leave in 3 days for Haiti! I am excited, but haven't slept well in days. I wake up so many times during the night thinking of something I need to remember to do, etc. We have 35 kids and 11 adults... that is a BIG group with lots of things to do!

Praying for Jonah
Patrice has been on my mind so much this last month.
This is Patrice and me at the West Forsyth prom in 2000.
Hopefully baby Jonah will get to go home on Monday.
