Headed to Wyoming...

I can't believe it's already the third week of June!!!!

This group of lovely youth and I will be headed out this Saturday, June 20-27th to Wind River, Wyoming on a youth mission trip with YouthWorks to a Native American Reservation to be in service for a week. We know that we will be working to repair homes, do yard work, etc. and work with their kids program they have going there.

Keep us in your prayers!! Most of them have never been on a mission trip or even away from home that long, and this will be my first time leading a trip. I'm blessed because they are a GREAT group of girls with a lot of energy and respectful attitudes.

Anyway, it'll be a while before I update again! Trying to play catch up/keep up while I'm gone.

Thanks for the prayers in advance!

woah.

Last night, I ran (okay, more like a jogging pace), 4 miles!

I do not know how/why that happened, but I think I hit a runner's high and just kept going and going, and it was AMAZING!! I NEVER thought I'd ever say that nor will I probably say that again anytime soon... but it was freakin' SWEET!!

I'm just proud of myself and had to share. :)

Weekend of friends and food

I am SO thankful for friends who flew in to celebrate my birthday with me! Rebecca and I have known one another officially for 11 years now (oy) and Melanie and I have known one another for 15 years! It's amazing to have such close friends over several years that you know will always be with you. Thanks for flying in ladies!

Also, thankful for new friends in California who were able to celebrate with me as well. :)

Thanks to everyone for phone calls, cards, and birthday wishes celebrating with me in spirit!! I feel so blessed.

The weekend began with dinner at the Cliff House in San Francisco and expanded to movie watching, more food, and more food... :) Special shout out of thanks to my fabulous youth group who bought me an ipod nano for my birthday!!! They heard I had lost mine in an airplane, and they bought me a new one. SO NICE!!

Here's to another year of life!
