I would love to find the life timeline we were assigned to make in Elementary School. I'm sure at age 24 there would've been a stick figure picture of me and my "husband" standing in front of a cute little house with a white picket fence. Well, today is my 24th birthday and my timeline was WAY off. I've just ended the 5th month on the race and while there is no husband, house or picket fence in sight, I couldn't be happier. I know that this is where God wants me to be, and I can't wait to travel to Vietnam tomorrow to begin month 6.
While I especially miss my family and friends at home today, my new B Squad family has done their best to give me a birthday I'll never forget! I also lucked out in the fact that the whole squad is staying together in a hotel tonight before we leave for Vietnam, which means a bed, air conditioning and a hot shower! SCORE!
they've only been with me for two months and they already know the ways to my heart
sweet notes and cards
reeses (well, any chocolate really)
Coke and Dr. Pepper
a comfy bed
our translator, pastor and new BFF, Thyvenn, with a postcard he painted and gave me for my birthday
The only thing that could make this birthday away from home better is if you all could help me reach the Fully Funded mark. One more month until the last deadline and only $2,050 to go! Click the "Support Me" link on the left side of the page if you'd like to bless me on this day!
Love you all!
