A couple of people have recently asked me about my blog, (and yes, I literally mean 2 people). So, I gotta keep my fans happy, right? :)

Let's play a little catch-up. 

Since I've Been Home: 
After the holiday season I got a job as a Mental Health Specialist at the Methodist Children's Home in Ruston, Louisiana. Even though it is a 1 1/2 hour commute, I love it! I love my girls, my co-workers. Don't get me wrong though, every shift is a wild ride and this job is NOT for the faint of heart. 

I also got a dog! Beau <3 (Country Strong, anyone?) and then he got stolen! :( But I got him back! Yayyy! I've never loved an animal more. 
Then I got into a really bad wreck and totaled my car! :/ But God had me in his hands that day without a doubt. I walked away with no injuries!! 
In my spare time, which seems like only 20 minutes a week, I LOVE spending time with the girls in my youth group. So maybe a majority of my friends are ages 13-16 but I'm okay with that!
The thing I've struggled most with since being back to the states is the busy way of life. If I'm not accomplishing 452 things in a day I feel unproductive. I ALWAYS feel like I am in a hurry, and I am ALWAYS running late for this or that. I cannot keep up!! Ugh, it's so stressful sometimes! I just wanna kayak and bake cookies from scratch all day, ya know?

Currently: 
I am in Florida at the beach!! With my Aunt Sue, Uncle Ed, cousins, lil sis and bro-in-law! Man, definitely needed this "time-out" from the normal grind. I've gotten to read, lay-out, go for a run, take a bubble bath, blog and sleep! Things I love to do but not so often get to do! 
Coming Up Next:
drumroll please.........I AM GOING BACK TO UGANDA!!! More details to come, but, I leave September 11, and will be going back to live with the Williams family! For a year or forever, I'm not quite sure yet. ;)
