I got to see my brother, Jeremy tonight. It may sound funny, but it was so refreshing. The last two weeks have been very busy and my nerves were really starting to fray. When I was praying, God kept saying that I knew it would be hard when I signed on, but that He would give me strength to make it through everything. So driving to Dallas and walking around the Hilton with my brother was just really relaxing. It got my mind off of long homework assignments and onto things like watching marines ski for the first time and keeping an armadillo for a pet. We talked at length about his business plans and it was great to talk with someone who knew exactly where he wanted to be in one year and was excited about it. Right now I am just feeling calm and resolved to get through tonight's work.
