You’ve heard me name-drop the big boss in a few posts, so I think it’s about time you meet her for yourself!
I’ve been extraordinarily blessed to grow under such a genuine, compassionate, and FUN director. Adrienne’s passion lies in the hearts of people who haven’t yet realized their God-given value in this world. And because of her passion, she has dedicated her life to brining those under appreciated hearts to the realization of self-worth and hope. Such an inspiration, and come to think of it, I’ve never seen her in a bad mood. I think being around someone who exudes such positivity in all they do has refocused a lot of my supposed needs and wants.
I remember the day she picked me up from orientation, and her first words, “Oh, dear.” I was a complete disaster, red-faced and whimpering, doubting my decision to come. Today, I firmly believe she could not have helped make my experience more amazing, on every level. Really. We’ve laughed uncontrollably and shared moments that no one but the two of us will truly understand.
Adrienne’s a package, so with her I got her awesome kiddies, Jessica and Daniel. Jess is the 4.0 athletic model that is incapable of being mean, even when trying her hardest. Daniel is the creative musician, and one of those just-stay-there-and-keep-being-yourself-because-you’re-flipping-hilarious-for-no-reason kind of people. AND, adding to their level of coolness is the ability to switch between three languages during a single conversation. Standing amidst the three of them and their interactions makes it impossible to overlook how in love they are with one another.
Thank you, Adrienne, for taking such good care of me and being the Godly mentor and friend you are.
Love, Your Favorite Volunteer ; )
I so love this image. Very them : )
For you.
They ain’t hearin’, seein’, or speakin’ no evil!
Getting their Taekwondo on.
