Okay so I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted. Life has been busy. Here are some quick updates:
- I leave for Ethiopia in exactly one month! My dream of volunteering in Africa is finally coming true! I still have a lot of support money to raise, but I’m trying to keep up the faith.
- I battled cockroaches in my apartment for weeks. After killing “Cuddles” and about 100 of his friends, I think we’re finally cockroach free. So gross.
- Someone tried to steal my car in the middle of the night…probably one of the gang members down the street. A damaged handle and lock later (hey buddy, you’re going to need more than a screwdriver!) my car is safe and I went out to buy a Club. Yes, they still make them.
- I just got back from visiting my family in Kansas. I guess I look a lot different than I did in high school, because at a barn party many people didn’t recognize me. There were only 200 people in our entire school…I didn’t think I’d be that hard to recognize.
- The job is going well, but my mom says I work too much. She called me the other night and told me to stop working so much because she wants to be a grandma, so I should instead be finding ‘Mr. Right’ and settling down. Thanks Mom.
- A good friend reminded me that despite some circumstances, I’m still a fighter. I’m back to kicking butt.
- Wow, I’m realizing some of these stories are actually pretty funny. When I have time to sit down and write some more, I’ll have to fill in all the details. Life is crazy, but wonderful at the same time.
