This week has gone very quickly because of being busy but it has also veen very enjoyable. My work at Hudsonville schools with social work has picked up and I have already connected with a student who has had much need this week. On Monday we talked about a situation that happened over the weekend with her mom being abused by her boyfriend and how she was scared to go home that day. Tuesday I went and picked up a bunch of hygiene products from Love Inc. for her because her mom doesn't have money to buy her deodrant, lotions, shampoo, soap, etc. On Wed. we sat her down to talk to her about the Child Protective Order that we were going to report against her mom because she and this girl got drunk the night before. Each day has brought new situations for me to experience and learn. It at the same time, breaks my heart.

On a lighter note, Justin and I had dinner with Mark on Tuesday and it was wonderful seeing him again and laughing a lot.

We watched the Tigers lose to the Yankees but enjoyed great conversation together.

We also had our last Wedding Reception last Saturday in Eaton Rapids and our parties are officially over. It was nice seeing people again and meeting them for the first time. I heard lots of stories about Justin and his family that I never knew before. Always a joy!!

This weekend is the big game and you know where Justin and I will be. Right next to the students in our Maize shirts cheering on Michigan. Go Blue!!!
