The newest family member
It's been about a month or so since my dog Mac passed away. My other dog Maggie was so lonely; she needed a new friend.

Our flight is cancelled?
I'm officially back in the United States! It feels so good being at home. I love Malawi with all my heart and plan on visiting again. There is so much to tell, and I'm not sure words can even describe it! I will try my best, but for what it's worth, traveling abroad was one of the best decisions of my life.
Here's Day 1:

It's Time for Africa!
In less than 12 hours, I will be going on a plane and hopping across the pond for the first time! I'm nervous, but excited. I don't know if I'll be able to update my Facebook/Twitter/blog while I'm in Africa, but honestly, if I don't, it'll be a nice break. I'm truly blessed to be one of the first students from AQ to go on this trip, and I can't wait to see what is out there.
Peace. Love. AQMalawi ♥

The rest is still unwritten
It's so close to summer! Only one final left :)
What does my summer entail? Well, summer classes, working at Roman Wheel, and of course, Africa! However, the rest is still unwritten. I've been playing my Itunes on constant repeat until my finals are done. My recent addiction, Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield.
There are some particular lyrics that have been stuck in my head.
"Can't read my mind, i'm undefined"
"Today is when your book begins, the rest is still unwritten"
"We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way"
This really describes my life right now. I feel like I always have to be perfect, but no one is perfect. And God wouldn't want it any other way. Everyone is planning their lives, whether it's grad school, marriage, or who knows what. I have ideas, but I know better that life doesn't always turn out the way it should.
I feel like after going to Africa, it will be the major turning point in my life.Yeah, high school graduation was kind of a mildstone too, but honestly I didn't care, I was happy to get the heck out of there!
I can't believe I only have three days until I go to Africa. Many have been asking if I'll update my Facebook or my blog while I'm there. Unfortunately my Internet connection will be quite spotty, but when I get back, I plan to blog about each day as if it just happened. I can't wait to share my adventures in Africa and actually experience them for myself! Who knows what will happen, I mean the ending is unplanned :)

Don't worry 'bout a thing
It's only Tuesday and I already want to chuck my books into the nearest fireplace. Why can't it be summer? It doesn't help I've been listening to country music while studying, which makes me want summer even more!
One song in particular is "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing" by SheDaisy. It's an older song, but I use to love this band when I was growing up.
The lyrics really spoke to me, because my life recently has felt like a big rollercoaster, with many ups and downs. My favorite part is the chorus:
"Life is funny, life's a mess
Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it
Life gets sticky, life can bruise
Sometimes you win sometimes your losing
No matter what it brings
Don't worry 'bout a thing"
This just makes me want summer even more! Just drive around in my car, windows down, not a care in the world. I know life can be tough, but sometimes you just need a break from it all, and for me that's what summer means.
