2013

I moved back into my room a couple days ago. The house has been turned upside down with us getting rid of clutter and mouse droppings. This couldn’t have happened at a better time. The house is getting a fresh start just as the New Year rolls in. 2013 has been a good year.

This year we moved into our cute, old and drafty house. We’re still making it our own but it’s coming along. The way the sun shines through my window is welcoming and familiar now. I love the french doors leading into our unfinished, less than glamorous dining room and I’m not even scared to go down into the basement anymore… mostly.

I took Fundraising 101 this past spring when preparing to go to Ghana. Asking for money is definitely a most humbling experience. I can now tell you a thing or two about bake sales and this was the first time I put on a yard sale, nothing shy of hard work. I’ll never forget the feeling of touching down in Accra, a dream and vision realized. I told myself then, that it wouldn’t be the last time I felt that tingle in my bones.

I went back to school this fall and can’t be happier about that decision. I checked my grades on Christmas day: A,A,B- and C+. Not too bad. The C was in math and I’m happy with it.

I get ready for another chapter and semester proud of what I’ve done and happy to be getting the opportunity to continue doing what makes me happy. 

Peace and happiness for the next year… xoxo.
