life moves on.

     Well I have been home a month and 1/2, Christmas has come and gone and I started college. I am starting week three of eight this week. I have written and turned in my first paper to English, and I have a test in Math and Biology this week. Its been completely crazy since I got home. Between catching up with friends, christmas, and pulling of a surprise birthday party for Ashley. Christmas was good I got a 120 gb ipod and les mis 10th anniversary. But after that was when my fun began because I was surprising Ashley, and just so ya'll know that is hard to do. One because Ashley is my best friend and I tell her almost everything and I was excited about this so I wanted to tell her. Also because she is highly suspicious and while she knew I was up to something she had no clue what that something would end up being. I got about 20 people up at Jacobs house, which is a lot of work since he lives about an hour away from where we live. But what made it better is this meant she was in my car blindfolded for an hour, and Jay who is normally quiet was filling her head with all these sonorous of how everything was going to go down, and none of the ended well lol. But we got to his house and she was surprised and even admitted that I did in fact "get" her. It was a lot of fun and a a lot of our friends came even ones I didn't know where coming because they weren't sure till that day, and a lot of them were home from college so it worked out. It was just fun. But that day way my last day of freedom. Two days later I started at GMC, I really like this college. However I not a fan of tests which is what I am procrastinating from right now. I do not want to do homework right now just not in the mood. Plus my math teacher was sick this past week so we never had class yet have a test wednesday so its kind of crazy. I also hate biology and I have a test in that class too.

       I am really missing Africa. I miss the food, the people, and the environment. I miss seeing my cousins every day. I miss the craziness of all the sick people. lol Life in america is so different, if someone is sick we go to the doctors. Also we don't have all these crazy problems like them have there.  Now to save money and either get them home here or get me back there. But if I do get to go back I wont to bring a friend with me, someone to experience things with me.

plans change

Well looks like I will be staying in WR till april........ At which time I will hopefully be heading to Washington.

life goes on.

Well I have been home a whole week and a day now. I have been babysitting since Monday, pretty much everyday. I am babysitting right now. Last night is the one night I hadn't babysat but I got to go see a play with Kelly, Mom, and Peter. This 11 year old I babysit was in it and did an awesome job:). But the main new news is that I will most likely be gone by December 30th, 2012. I am taking a nanning job in Washington State. I am very excited about this because I get to live with one of my favorite families in the world. I will also be starting college online hopefully January 7th. I am VERY VERY excited about school, and life and everything. It will be 6 months till I come home when I leave though. That is two whole quarters of college, but I am very excited to see what God does with my life in the coming months.

Jerimiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you you," declares the Lord, "planes to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

jet lag

So I made it home yesterday night. It was a LONG flight, but I did get to take a shower after the LONG flight. Then my dad and I took the short flight to ATL and then Dad drove us home. Mom made us tacos and Kelly came over. She most have really missed me cause she even hugged me. Even though we are best friend neither of us really like hugs lol. Then today I spent the day at barebulb :) and got to see Ashley, Auburn, Mrs.Tara, and Mrs. Donna :) I also got yummy coffee and quiche (my favorite kind). Then tonight I got to talk to Amy :)

my trip

Well I head to Tana in a few hours. This is the beginning of a long trip. Uncle Colin and I take a bus then spend tomorrow in Tana, shopping for a few more gifts and such. Then thursday we have the morning then I go to the airport and get on plane #1, then fly for like an hour and half then RUN to make my next flight and stay on said flight for over 18+ hours. But when that flight is over I will be in AMERICA and after customs I will go meet up with my Dad :). Then at 12:30 we will both be on a plane home to GA :)

monday,

So yesterday was Sunday. We went to the Tarzan restaurant because I really like it and it has amazing fries and pizza (very american eh). Then the boys when swimming at the beach and I stayed with Uncle Colin and Aunt Kim in the car and we talked. Note we could see the boys at all time. It was an amazing way to spend my last Sunday here in Madagascar. It so weird to be leaving, I can't wait till I can come back here. I also can't wait to hear about where all these "kids" grow up to be, and where they get in life.

Today is Monday I went into town to the bank and to go to the bank and a few other places.

time flies when you're having fun.

Wow, I have Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday left here in Tamatave. Tuesday night I will get on a bus and go to Tana with uncle Colin and spend wednesday in Tana and then Thursday is the start of my long flight home. This as been a truly amazing trip and I am so glad I got to come. I have had so much fun getting to know my cousins, the staff, and the students. I have gotten to see so many lemurs and other animals I would never get to see otherwise. I have gotten to spend one on one time with all three boys. I can't wait for the day when I can come back here and the day we get all of them home. Thank you to everyone out there who supported me on this trip either with prayers or with your donations I couldn't have done it with out you. Now my next adventure will start, I take the placement test for GMC in 10 days, then I will start college. Best part about that is its the same college as my best friend :)

Three months I have been here does it feel like it? No it does not. Time has just flown by almost to fast. I miss my friends but I am going to miss this place.
