a quick summary of sorts

ok. i have been an awful blogger. i find that it is often truly hard to keep up with a blog if your life is crazy.

my life is crazy.

but i love it and am definitely not complaining--i just wish i could capture it all so i won't ever forget it

a few of the hightlights from my recent past...

election night in D.C.:

understandably unforgettable.

north carolina trip:

6.5 hrs in the passenger seat with margie.

jack's 'trucker' mix

elliott's country hits

hotel beds=incredible.

jacks first football game



=pure nostalgia

side note:
i love football and probably could not put into words how much high school football holds a little place deep in my heart. the smell of nachos and sweat and hot chocoloate. the sounds of boys running into each other. the sudden shouting outbursts of dads. the quick gasp from moms. the cheerleaders jumping and climbing on top of each other. stadium seating. tailgating. little boys running around in football jerseys. ahhh i just love it.
Davidson football, you touched that spot....thank you MB

tailgating with mark and trailmix--possibly the most memorable tailgating experience :)

gourmet mexican food. ahhmazing.

meeting the hometown football and basketball heros.

brunch on main street at 'toast'

6.5 hrs in the passenger seat on the way back with Margie

sweet tea at quiznos

IJM Board Meeting Dinner

i cried way too much. i wish that i could have bottled it up and given that night as a gift to everyone i love and want to know and deeply understand the work of IJM.

i have never been more proud to be a part of something

Sunday Lunch

ahhhhhhhhh. extremely movie-esk (word?)

true refreshment.

Thanksgiving spread, British style.

4 hours hearing the story of God's faithfulness and love

i am too blessed.

died my hair.

dark.


Future planning...


"By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going."
hebrews 11:8



if it was good enough for Abraham, it is good enough for me.

love this. I throughly enjoy your blogs and agree that yes, yes you should document more often.

I also really like the word "nostalgia."

a bottle of that IJM meeting would be nice.

i miss you much.

Sounds cool... I have started reading Terrify No More again lately... I was thinking about you last night as I was reading it and thinking how amazing it must be to be able to work with this mission. I want to hear ALL about it when you are around us again!
