There are only a few forwards or tags that I actually take time to do usually due to a lack of time or I become technology impaired and can’t figure out how to copy and paste correctly. Mayah’s teacher, Stephanie, tagged me and I couldn’t help but follow through. You know there is something in a name… I have been so blessed with many great friends and people in my life and Stephanie is one of those names. In high school I had a best friend named Steph and she helped me through many tough, hormonal, boy crazy high school days and recently through facebook we have been able to reconnect. Another Steph in my life touched me and continues to touch me in so many ways. My Wasilla Steph is a forever friend, she is a sister through Christ, and she is one who can lift me up even on my darkest day. New Cheney Stephanie is a blessing to our family for our little sweet Mayah, who is struggling at adjusting to a new school, but thankfully Stephanie is invested in her as her Kindergarten teacher. Also, she has been a blessing to talk to when I volunteer each week (I am sure I am keeping her from the endless tasks a teacher has to do) and for an occasional run at the rec center. There is something in a name and this is actually a fun tag. Thanks Stephanie for thinking of me.
