The devotional my dad sent me a couple of days ago arrived in my inbox on the perfect day (as usual). As I was returning to my innocence case that I took a brief respite from for about 2 weeks, the following quote reminded me how important the work is that I'm doing.
"Those who have eyes that see what God sees find ways to help the helpless."
- Julie Ackerman Link
I know I can't be all-consumed by the case, but it's hard not to think about him being in prison as I celebrate my graduation from college and spend a few days at the pool.
Other updates - I'm seeing someone new. Still trying to wrap my mind around that because it's been so long. But I am happy. Very, very happy.

1. Meeting my team for the summer program with the Innocence Project and learning we now have our own attorney for our case specifically! Such good news.
2. I bought my bridesmaid dress for Stacey's wedding :) And I'm excited to get planning!
3. A conversation I had yesterday with a nurse. I don't know how she knew exactly what to say to me to calm me down, but it was much appreciated. An understanding stranger is often the best kind of comfort.
4. Meeting the team I will be working with in the Infant Room at The Crossing this summer. I'm anxious to have some baby time!
5. Having someone to hold me while I cried and actually being able to cry for once. I hardly ever do and when I do, it's rarely in front of anyone. But it was nice to let go, and I feel much more capable of moving forward now.
6. Getting to go to a Card's game... finally! Even though they lost I had so much fun.
Hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day Weekend - the pools are all open :)
Now if Columbia would just clear itself of the clouds!
