I am HOME! I arrived safely here in NC just this afternoon. Our flight from Guatemala City to Florida was a breeze and quick (esp for a international flight). Most of the squad stayed the night in Fort Lauderdale and ate our first meal in America at TGIF together. We couldn’t get over the free refills with lots of ice and large portions!
Last night and this morning was spent saying goodbyes to each other because we all had flights at different times. It was heartbreaking and felt like losing an extra part of myself. I plan on writing some blogs to finish out the world race and share with all of you what happens on my return home.
I had a sweet reunion with my parents at the airport mixed with tears and laughter! I told them they can’t leave me for a while (a little ironic) for sure!
Me and my mom reuniting!
Me and my dad at the airport! 
When I arrived in my parents house I just walked from room to room staring at this world that I haven’t seen but just imagined for the last year it was very surreal. I would love to share with everyone what the Lord has done in my life and what He continues to do all over the world. Please just drop me an email at [email protected]or just “write me a note” on the left side of the page. I will be traveling some in the next month or so and I would love to visit people who have kept in touch with me through my blogs if it is possible. Thank you for your prayers and support and I can’t wait to see everyone and share with you, all that our Great God has done!

I am home and already unpacked (sort of – everything is spread all over my room) and opening up long overdue Christmas presents!
