T.E.E.O.

- Haven't posted in a while so here goes:
- I still find myself very excited about the election results.
- Was on the High School retreat this weekend. We had a really great retreat, despite the rain we made it work and I think the students had a blast. It was very weird that this was my last High School retreat with this youth group. This being my third year working with them it is going to be really hard to leave the program. I'm trying not to think about it
- I've gotten to talk on video Skype with my nieces Grace and Hannah and nephew Sam a couple times these past few days while Miriam has been visiting Mark and Rachel in Michigan and that has been really good. I spent nearly an hour this afternoon talking with Sam and Grace. We played a couple games of guess the number between 1 and 10 and Grace read some poems and Sam explained something he was building it really was quite great. It was a bummer not being able to go but being able to see them and talk with them anyway helped to make up for it.
- I am getting pumped for Thanksgiving. Really hoping to run a good race at the Cardiac Classic in the a.m. and get some major eating in during the p.m. followed up with some football watching (I only watch the NFL on Thanksgiving anymore. I don't really care about it, but some traditions just don't die!)
