oh my word sweet family and friends! 
i have so much to tell you!! but i have yet to sit still long enough to express my very thoughts!

i just finished my last english paper so i could write to you all! i am so excited!

as of almost officially of today and after the check goes through…..drum roll please!!! oooonnnnllllyyyyyy $212.19 is left to be raised! 
can i get an "AMEN! GOD YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!"
AMEN GOD!! YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!
my heart is jumping for joy at how awesome God is! and how wonderful all of my supporters have been! 
thank You, thank you all! oh my word! i am so excited at how blessed i am!

well, let me let you in on some information that may of some importance to you….

what happens to all the extra money that you receive, if you were to go over the $15,500??
that money goes to AIM (adventures in missions).
i do not get reimbursed for all that i have paid for and i do not get the money refunded.
BUT what would be so great of you, if you feel called to continue supporting me, i would love it if you would either write out the checks to me OR write it out to AIM BUT support another racer! 
there are a lot of people on our team that are struggling financially on reaching the deadlines.  you all would be a HUGE blessing not only to me, but to them as well! i would love for all of my teammates to reach this humongous amount of $15,500 so that we can all go out and spread the gospel TOGETHER!

if you would like to know which racers to support, let me know and i will give you their names and information! 
please help my world race family, i want to bless them all the way that you have blessed me, you are all truly so wonderful!
if you have not supported me yet financially, but were planning on it….give it to another racer!

what else are you so excited about, kaitlyn dearest (because honestly, that is all what you call me)??
well….let me tell you! 
i already mentioned that i finished my LAST english paper (i do not enjoy writing papers.  so to know that i am DONE is exciting!).
i also finished my LAST day of classes at salt lake community college today! 
my friend just had her 2nd beautiful baby on tuesday!
it is so cloudy outside and spring is most definitely here!
this weekend is going to be extremely crazy busy but i am so excited because life is only exciting when lots is going on! 
kisses for katie (great book!) only makes me more and more excited about going to all these countries and to love on people while spreading God's love! 
i am on day 6 of NO COFFEE! hollllaaaaa!
i get to see my world race family so soon! 
a lot of exciting changes are happening, and some days i do not do well with them but today is definitely NOT one of those days! 
reading world racer blogs makes me so excited!
knowing that when i am with my Daddy, that my innocence is restored!!
i don't know why today is so good, but today is just fantastic!
why all this excitement and joy? because God is ALIVE in ME! and i am just filled with so much joy today that i can hardly stand it!

verse: 
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and all that is within me,
    bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
    who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
psalm 103:1-5
