1st day of training

As many of you know, I am doing an Autism Certification program in Texas for the next two weeks.  I arrived safely in Houston last night and was AMAZED at the city.  After living in Chicago, I thought I knew what to expect about coming to a new city, but I was completely wrong.  Houston is so different than any other city I have ever been to in the sense that there are cars EVERYWHERE!!!  I have never seen freeways and traffic like I have seen here (not even in California).

I have driven quite a bit in the past couple of days, and feel so much gratitude for the safety and protection that I have felt.  I truly feel watched over when I am alone out in the "real world."  I felt it many times when living in London, Chicago, and now as I am in this huge city of Houston, TX.  Over the past couple of days, I have felt particularly blessed and watched over.

Today was my first day of classes, and I absolutely loved every minute of it.  I loved studying and having discussions about Autism, meeting a lot of great people, and overall, I really enjoyed my day.  I can't wait for the remainder of my training!
