reality has not sunk in...

exhausted from traveling, combating emotions and just an overall lack of sleep. it still really hasn't hit me that this island is home. the air is thick with humidity but i found myself acclimating pretty quickly and even got a little cold tonight sitting at the end of a dock enjoying my company. i really can see how God is knitting us together and preparing our hearts for amazing things. we are heading to the YWAM base tomorrow. i am beyond excited to meet all the others and settle in to my new home!

and i'm off!

i'm currently sitting in the airport getting ready to board my plane. my blueberry muffin eating skills are lacking apparently...definitely have crumbs all over my lap. :o) the reality of this situation is hitting me in waves and i have yet to cry this morning. it is inevitable though. three hours of sleep + saying goodbye to my amazing family and friends is hard. i am so blessed. i am so ready for this adventure God has called me to but it's hard to say goodbye. can't believe this day has come. my stomach has butterflies and i am beyond excited to bury my feet in the warm caribbean sand. people who are strangers now will become like family soon. God has great plans that are yet to unfold. goodbye oregon!

a new hair style...

i saw this on a different blog and thought i would give it a try.  :o)  truthfully i don't know if i'll let you know how it goes... i'm sure if i like it you may see pictures of it at some point.  after tonight, there is ONE DAY UNTIL I LEAVE.  AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
