And yes, all the students did arrive. The hill is just brimming with bright unfamiliar faces. I chuckle to myself as we stand around in awkward groups, asking eachother polite questions. I love to see friendships forming and personalities coming out. Last night Suzanne and I walked around the girl's rooms. We poked our heads into the different doors to say goodnight. Libby joined us. Then Emily and Sterling, and soon we were a troop knocking on doors and laughing with eachother. Getting glimpses into their bedrooms - and their lives. Stopping to check out Rebbekah's hat collection - who knew you could enter hat collections into the county fair? Or oooh and awe over Rosey's hot chocolate maker.
A semi-normal schedule starts tomorrow. I think everyone's looking forward to getting into a routine.
Oh fun! I am quite glad you are keeping a blog. So neat that you are back there in Pagosa. Enjoy the hot springs for me! (have you ever gone straight from the Lobster Pot to the River and back? That'll wake you up!) Rachel Baltensperger
ReplyDeleteOh, this makes me miss you all (sigh).... so glad you are back and that you and Suzanne are mentoring the ladies - they are blessed to have you both in their lives. Lots of love to you!
ReplyDeleteSomeone brought their hat collection to Summit? *cocked head of curiosity*
ReplyDeletewell, part of the hat collection. enough that she and i decided we needed to have a 'wear a hat or scarf to class' night. we succeeded pretty well in convincing everyone else. dr. bauman even lectured from underneath a black conductor-like hat....
