I'm baaaack!

Ok so i tend to blog-stalk my friends on a pretty regular basis. I have a certain patience level for the amount of time in which I expect them to update their blog. That patience level runs out at about a month. That being said- it has been almost 2 months since i have updated my blog. So those who are stalking me-and I'm sure there are many:)- I apologize but i am still alive-no worries

What to say?

There's been a LOT of traveling-I know it sounds exciting and I am still blown away by the places i get to go but REALLY after I had not slept in my own place for 5 1/2 weeks I was ready to be home! And if you know me you know how much I love MY bed and MY pillow(which I take with me most everywhere I go-the pillow not the bed).

So where have I been? Macedonia(for our annual YoungLife Service project), then Tenerife(to recoup from said project) then Madrid-which was just supposed to be a stop over on my way back to Brussels but which turned into quite the adventure when a certain Icelandic volcano decided to erupt!

There's been fun times with friends in Brussels and Spain:

Sarah, Fiona and I at the flea market at Jue de Belle! Who doesn't love a trip down the glass elevator, a walk through the antique shops, haggling for "priceless" objects in french and then a delicious lunch at a flemish restaurant?

And here are Kate and I in Tenerife-who doesn't love sun and the beach with a friend who understands when you fall asleep at 4pm(it was the first night after service project and I had been averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night)?

And here we are just outside of Madrid-Who doesn't love a hiking adventure with a birthday girl who doesn't speak any English and some crazy people from Tennessee?

Here's a video I made of the Service Project to Macedonia. It was an amazing week-and this will give you a glimpse of what we did.
