Hey Y'all! I'm Back!

The last half of December and ALL of January has been completely crazy and it's only going to get crazier, but I don't want to keep people in the dark. 

I went home for Christmas and it was so great to spend 2 weeks with my family and close friends in Raton. I had been missing everyone terribly. One huge blessing that I received while back at home was that half of my upcoming trip to Africa was funded. It was such a huge blessing and so awesome. I currently need to raise about $1700 more for the trip and for my shots, but I know that God will provide a way. I am in the process of sending out donation letters so if you are able to support me finacially that would be awesome, but I welcome prayer support as well. It will be a very awesome, yet draining experience: physically and emotionally. Our team has met twice already and we are well underway with learning about what we will be doing with our time there. Want more details? Just ask!! 

On top of this trip, we are winding down the school days. Only 76ish more left. But who's counting?! Haha. My first year has been awesome and I have been so blessed in that aspect of my life as well. My coworkers are awesome and my students are making gains.

Lastly, I am honored to participate in three weddings in a matter of 4 months. I will be a bridesmaid for a sweet friend of mine in Missouri in March, the maid of honor for my baby sister in June, and then a bridemaid again for a friend who I consider a sister in July. As you can see the next few moths will be insanse, but insanely awesome!!
