Karlie, I don't have a doubt in my mind that you will achieve what you have set out to achieve. You have heard the call, have the will, faith and drive, have seen with your own eyes the desperate need for advocacy for children who have no control over their own lives and in faith answered that call. There are some children and families out there waiting just for YOU.

Personally, I like a dark, stout Guiness.

I prefer Killian's Irish Red when I can get it, or Sam Adams Summer Ale, or Blue Moon Pale Ale, or all of the above. There's a micro brewery/restaurant in Alexandria, VA, that I try to visit whenever I'm at my sister's that makes a really good "red" beer.

But of course, nothing beats a good 12 year old single malt.

Here's a funny story about Britt's very unusual cat. Last night, her dishwasher overflowed and she had to use about 4 bath towels to soak up all the water. Her cat stood there carefully watching her every move, looking at the water and patting at it with his paws, then checking out the towels and watching them absorb the water. Britt thought it was funny how much attention he was paying and how fascinated he was by it all. Well, this morning, she was sitting in the livingroom and heard water sloshing around and looked up to see him purposely dumping over his water bowl. Then he jumped up on the counter, grabbed the dishtowel and laid it over the water mess and stood back to watch it absorb the water. Isn't that hilarious??

LOL Bill!! I choked on my coffee reading that...too funny! I'm not a cat person AT all. I do like hearing Britt's cat stories because, well, she seems to attract psycho cats! I do like dogs though...as long as they are bigger breeds, and outside and not shedding all over my house.

My first week of school went well. I found out something last night that was interesting. My professor told us that National graduates of the counseling program(where I go now) are much more marketable than FSU graduates(where I tried to get in and couldn't). She says it's pretty well established among counseling agencies that National produces a much higher calibur of therapist than FSU, and all the places she consults and works with prefer National graduates. Maybe that's why God closed the door at my alma mater and led me here.

Either that or He knew where to send you to get the best care.

Hey Guys :)

Trish, I'm doing well. Back to having my nose in a book and studying most of the day, but things are going well. It feels so good to be back at it and doing something again. I have my first presentation in two weeks...yikes!

I'm now in the process of trying to decide which facility I'd like to do my practicum hours at. I have a ways before that begins, but need to set it up soon. One is at a well respected Christian counseling place, and I am leaning to there, even though it won't be as broad of an experience. I'm going to check on dividing my hours up between 2 or 3 different agencies and see if that will fly.

Time for chocolate ice cream and more reading...yay!
