This is from a while back, but here is where we found out that Uncle Kurt and Aunt Mandy were having a baby boy. Hooray for Carson Allen Brinker!!!!!!!!!!
Last week, some of my very dear friends from college came in town, and we all met up for dinner at Cracker Barrel. These girls and I had SO much fun at LC. We had a ball remembering old times and marveling at where life has brought us thus far. It was a little funny when we went to reserve our table at CB. We had to get seats for four adults and SIX kids. When did that happen???? Ashley, Amber, and Kimberleigh....I love you all, and I'm so thankful for the season we had together. You all will always be a part of some of my greatest memories. We must do this again soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

The four girls!! I love these ladies!!!!!!!!!!!
I have some REALLY exciting news about life....I am going to be teaching two classes this year!! I couldn't bear to leave the girls for a fulltime position, but CCA gave me the opportunity to teach junior and senior English. I will only teach from 10:00-12:00 everyday, and the girls get to come with me!!! That way, I get to still be a stay-at-home mom, but I also get the opportunity to minister to my students. I can't imagine a more perfect job, and I was speechless when it presented itself. I have been praying about a way to reach these kids for Christ, and God just totally orchestrated this whole thing. The girls will get to take their morning nap at school while I'm teaching, and I still get every moment of quality time with them. God gets all the glory for this...I'm still in amazement! This will be my only year to do this. I hope to have another baby next summer, so I'll be back at home next year, but I hope to make the most of the time God has given me with these students. Thanks to everybody who has been praying for us!! Love you guys!!!

I hate that I missed the first floor Cottingham reunion!! We were on vacation, but I definitely want to come next time :) It's so amazing to see how much God has blessed all of our lives! Oh, and I got the book. Thank you so much for sending it to me. You're a great friend!
