catch up

Lets just get right to the point... I'm a HORRIBLE blogger. I have the best of intentions, but it just never gets done. I would say I'm going to try and do better, but.. well, I always say that. I do WANT to do better, but life (and my lack of patience and discipline) doesn't always allow for it. But anyways, here we go..


Life has been crazy. I just moved out of my college apartment and I'm still puzzled at how I got all that crap in that tiny little space. I swear I have never seen so much junk.


I've also been running around like a chicken with my head cut off getting ready to leave for Africa.. only 2 days :). With all that has had to be done, I don't feel like I've had much time to get excited.. but I am SO ready to be back there. I can't wait to see what the Lord does... AHHH!


I'll be blogging tomorrow with updates on how you guys can pray and with some more specific stories of things that have been going on. The Lord has been really gracious and I can't wait to share.

here are some pictures from my week/weekend.

(did I mention today was my birfffday? It is. I'm 23. OLD HAG.)

the GINORMOUS cookie cake (you want a slice or 2.. or 8.. we have PLENTY left)

did I mention that my big bro rolled into town for the weekend? He did.. popped collar, sunglasses, and all. I love him!

my aunt cathee (she's crazy and deserves an entire other blog post.. one day i'll do it) gave me these "goodies" for my birthday. she's terribly frightened of all the cooties in Africa.

i'll be a better blogger tomorrow. im tired. being the birthday girl is a hard job.
