Well, it passed...not sure I did, but the test is over now! :) I think I realized this morning why I always made my classroom be quiet as mice when we were taking tests, even when they were done...because I like it quiet when I am taking a test...but alas, we cannot always have what we want. :) Oh well...hopefully in a few days, I'll know how it turned out...but don't expect an update on that. ;)

So after a very intense chapel today I decided to just come home and have lunch...and guess what? It's raining. It started yesterday...the first real rain since moving here in August. I love walking in the rain...so I walked home in the absolute stillness of the afternoon with only the sound of the rain falling, the birds singing (I think they like it, too!), and my footsteps. I cannot tell you what moments like that do for my soul. Walking in the rain...alone or with someone...its always such a wonderful thing!! Although, I realized today that I might actually have to start wearing real shoes (not flip flops) for the first time in two years...my feet are in for shock!! :)
