After the all clear from the doctor last week to return to "normal" life, I'm gradually working myself back into just that. Getting back to "normal" life has been SO good! Being able to drive myself again has been amazing. My mother has been a wonderful chauffeur, but I love to drive. I started back to work on Monday and that's been even better than I expected. The Media Center has been a revolving door of co-workers and friends stopping by to welcome me back, check in with me to make sure I'm ok, and making sure that I take my time getting back to my normal workload so I don't overdo it. I've gotten LOTS of hugs from kids (and teachers) who are so very excited to see me back. I've started baking and decorating cookies again! And I'm determined to be back at church Sunday afternoon to be with our teenagers and the other youth leaders. I've missed seeing "my people" regularly. So, if I haven't seen you yet, expect a big hug the next time I see you. 
We have added meals for a few weeks to help make the transition back to work and the normal routine a little bit easier. I'm working full time and also trying to get into cardiac rehab that the cardiologist wants me to do, so not having to worry about meals would be so helpful. 
As always, thank you all so much for your love, support, and prayers.
