In honor of the Oscars last night, I decided to make this blog more of an acceptance speech. So here it goes. 

I was so pleased to see that I had finally reached fifty percent funded. So much joy filled me, so much anticipation rushed in. Not only did fifty percent mean that I am halfway to my dream, but it also confirms my first deadline amount 3 MONTHS EARLY. I sit here, drinking my Whataburger strawberry shake, in complete awe to see God’s generosity and love shown through my supporters. Never in a million years could I say thank you enough. If I can get here with your help, I can get to fully funded quite soon as well. 

Along with this, my countdown calendar brought to my attention that training camp is exactly 100 days away! Some days it may seem so far away, but just thinking on the spam of everything, 100 days can come so, so soon. 100 days until I meet my team, possibly get a tattoo, and experience a sneak peak of my next adventure! God is absolutely fantastic and I am love seeing everything fall into place. 

This could never happen without God’s merciful grace, or your support, and so to both, I thank you, I love you, and have a good night.
