wound up!

(<- me and oscar)

one word to describe this night-maybe two: wound up. i think i'm gonna wet my pants or something. i feel like a kid in a candy shop. i am so excited for belize! just possibly you might want to hit me or something if you lived in my house hold because i can't stop singing father abraham. if i just knew it in spanish! i need to get on that. i'm really hoping to LOVE this trip. i have a huge feeling that i will. it took so much preparation, money, prayer, stress, and so on. its a weird thing because if you asked me 6 months ago what i was going to do with my life i'd say: move to africa and build an orphanage. which still sounds sweet. but my heart is moving towards south america. and i haven't even been there yet. haha. who knows. i'm so indecisive. but still i am so STOKED! ahhh. so me and meghan are going to be helping dr. chew. and hes a dentist. we are going to be showing little kids how to brush there teeth right and make balloon animals. and then rebecca, tim, and me are on friendship evangelism.. still thinking of some stuff for that. i can't really predict thats going to happy. and for that matter it makes this trip a hundred times more exciting because i have no idea what to expect! ahh so exciting. a whole new adventure. jenna got her passport today! she had to wait in the passport place in SF like all day. she made me laugh so hard by saying it was a billion times worst then the DMV... which is like hell. haha. so mcnerneys secretary called meghan and told her to go to SF to get hers... so she did. it all worked out! praise the LORD!

also i just finished writing an 18 page essay on dantes inferno. except it was based on my own life. i can't really explain it. pretty much i die, go through stages of hell, then reach hell, go through stages of heaven, then reach heaven. and the whole time i have a guide with me... which just so happens to be my sister. so i just had her read it and she was crying haha. i thought it was hilarious. she said it was so sad. oh man.

and i am breaking a sweat from packing. well i'm off to belize in less then 24 hours.
so that means
adios amigos.
i'm gonna come back fluent in spanish and with a farmers tan. haha jk about the spanish. def not about the farmers tan.

prep for belize.

So this is officially my first blog. i think this will help me sort my thoughts out a bit. writing them down for some reason, especially by typing because its so darn easy, makes it a lot easier to organize your mind. i don't know quite why that is. even if i write down a prayer it makes it easier. i don't know, this writing thing works for me and that all i need to know.

so tomorrow is the big Belize getaway. not to mention Guatemala too. i am pretty stoked. i can't really sit still while i am thinking about it. it comes in spurts. i've been packing for the last week and its going pretty smooth. i'm kind of stressing about what i'm going to sleep on and such. not to mention i have zero dollars in my bank account, but its all good... my pay check is tomorrow! thank goodness.

meghan and jenna's passports haven't come yet. i called meg yesterday and talked to dave and he said half the christian community is praying for that haha. i really hope it comes. we called congressmen mcnerney the other day and talked to his secretary and now him and meg are on first name bassis haha. its gonna come for both of them, i know that Lord will have it all work out.

be praying for all of us :)

oh and p.s. that picture above has nothing to do with anything besides the fact that i was playing with it on photoshop last night and liked it haha.
