We're finally home after a quick turnaround in Denver with Amy. So much good came from this trip, and Amy said we took care of about 75% of what she needed to get done for the weekend. So many things to be thankful for...how awesome that we had a wheelchair to take to her...that Brian was in town and had the time to go with me...that RA training didn't go as long yesterday. Amy met us at the door of her dorm on crutches and was barely able to hobble along. We loaded her up, fed her, bought groceries, got the office supplies she needed, kept her with us overnight, fed her again, helped her with door decorations for her floor, loaded the laundry card, did laundry, headed across campus to help cut out more decorations, got her a microwave, got her internet working, and fed her again. Whew! We accomplished so much in a short amount of time which would have taken her SO much longer if she'd done it by herself! She was able to stay off her feet, and by the time we left today she seemed to be doing much better. One more day of taking it easy and she should be in good shape for training on Monday morning. Although we could tell she was a bit homesick, she's holding up well and still has a smile on her face. We met several of the other RA's who all seemed pretty great. She already is enjoying new friendships on campus. One more week of RA training and then things can settle into a more "normal" routine again. BA was awesome...helped SO much without complaining one bit...drove us all over Denver...just enjoyed being with us. Now it'll be a quick turnaround for him as he heads off to California in the morning.
One really cool thing is that my older brother, Tom, was at mom & dad's when we got home. I didn't expect to see him until tomorrow evening, so that was an awesome surprise. Anytime I get to see any of my brothers is just fine with me...they're all really terrific guys and I'm quite blessed to know and love them.
Time to pack up BA and prepare for another week of unknowns. Seriously, I just never know what's going to happen next around here! One thing I DO know...God gives us the strength to make it thru each day even when we don't think we can keep going. HE is my rock!!
"It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect."
