And, I'm Back...

So, I realize it has been an absolute dog's age since I have written on this thing....officially the worst blogger ever.  I have no excuses, just the usual "life is so busy", etc.  And there hasn't been too much happening apart from every day life happenings, which I don't know if people are actually interested in...so here are some random things that have been happening:

Firstly, we had our women's conference a month ago and it was AMAZING.  All students have to volunteer, so I worked but butt off for a week straight and I'm not sure how I got through it!  But I did and it was well worth it to see so many women have value placed on them and to meet with God on such a large scale.  I met so many amazing people and got to know myself a lot more through the experience as well.

Secondly, I got a car!!!  Whoopee!  I can't express how amazing it feels to have a vehicle.  To go for three months of driving was so foreign to me.  Then to have to start driving again on the other side of the road was definitely interesting.  And, yes, this is a commitment...I was not planning on getting a car because I was only going to be here for one year, but plans have changed as I would now like to stay for longer, so thought it was time to bite the bullet and get a car.  It's a pretty hot car...'88 Toyota Camry (white)....almost as nice as my '05 Honda Civic, almost.

Other than that, I've just been learning tons in my classes and having a great time building relationships and getting closer with God.  Overall, I'm extremely happy and content just living life one day at a time!  I'm going to work on getting some more pics up in the next couple of days so you can see a bit of my life (house, car, church, etc.)...I just have to make them smaller so that they will fit!

That's it for now.  Keep your prayers coming my way!
