// 1. donkeys & golden fields, the things morning walks are made of // 2. all doubt of missionaries being cool is removed when they have tortoises for pets  "oh, you have a watch dog?  i have a 40 year old watch tortoise"  // 3.  looking forward to when this girl gets back from furlough // 4. skies right out of pixar movies // 5. neighborhood picture time // 6. the "grocery" store next door //

+feeling nostalgic and wishing for rain like we got 2 weeks ago so i can dance in it, much to my                   neighbors surprise
+settling back in from being at camp in the capitol (hopefully pics are soon to come)
+going through long ago forgotten posts and pics
+worrying about the baby in the yard behind us that cries all the time
+making lists of people to write(back)
+writing papers on greek mythology
+listening to my ipod on shuffle
+cooking dinner, it involves being in the kitchen for hours (2 tonight) and sweating.  a lot.
+reading through the old testament
+brainstorming for new post ideas
+longing for good, consistent internet
+needing a schedule for school, blogging, writing, and pretty much everything else, but in africa schedules are a little harder to stick to than elsewhere
+marking the days off the calendar
+searching for new books to read (suggestions?)
+loving the new blog design (thanks rose)
+looking forward to not traveling anywhere for a little bit
+planning on posting more
+checking mail tomorrow
+thinking a lot
+journaling even more
+running out of things to say….

December Photo-a-Day Challenge!

3.12.13

Hey Everybody!

 Hope you guys are having a fantastic December so far, I am thoroughly enjoying mine. 


I wanted to do something that would encourage me to post consistently and to kinda give people snapshots of life here.  So I'm doing a photo a day challenge!! 
So basically I'll post pics every couple days according to the days subject.  I would love to have you join me in chronicling December in photos, let me know if/where you are gonna do it (blog, pinterest, etc) if you join, so I can follow along!!
