long days...

today i worked a twelve hour shift--7am to 7pm. it's the begining of about a week or two of twelve hour days for me. ...it was a long day. i am pretty exhausted... what amazes me is that sandi still leaves the house before i do...and she still gets home after i do. (and it's not because she drives further. i work further away from home than she does. she actually works longer!)WOW...what a woman! and she still has the energy to talk to and smile at me over dinner.

she is so strong and enduring. i don't know how she is able to do it apart from God's kind grace in her life. i am humbled by her steady persistence, and her commitment to her task. well...it's time for bed. ...actually, bed time was about an hour ago. if you're reading this, consider yourself blessed. i'm not sure how may more of these i'll get out in the next two weeks. funny...it's not like i've done many at all in the last two...

love you,
andrew=)
