Around 11 years ago I taught the 12-13 year old girls at church. It was awesome and I loved it. I loved those girls as if they were my own. Which freaked some of them out, I think, and others were okay with it. :) I've kept in touch with these sweethearts (some were actually in the class just older than what I taught, but I still consider them mine) and have watched them grow. Some are married and have little ones of their own now which is just crazy. Honestly, these are the first kids in my life I've been able to watch grow up. Moving around all my childhood had its awesome things but also an occasional drawback.
Anyway, one of these cute girls just returned home from a mission for our church. I was late getting to see her at the airport but luckily made it in time to catch her before she LEFT the airport. LOL I just wasn't with it enough to think to get a picture of just her and me. Ah well. Welcome home, Rachel!!!!
