I am currently living out the dream I've been having for the past two months: sitting on the couch in my living room bundled in blankets while it's cold outside, watching a football game on TV (the Seahawks of course), with a fire crackling in the fireplace. It is AMAZING!!!!!

Well, after a lonnnnnnnng and tiring journey home, I'm finally here! I arrived in Seattle after four flights and I really could go a few years without ever stepping onto another plane. Wow.

Already I miss everyone from South Africa and the amazing people I became friends with while I was there. It's so weird not being around them!

Yesterday I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a great day and I got to spend the day with people I love and have missed very much. I enjoyed a great morning with my parents, a fun afternoon with my best friend, and an incredible night with my brother and some of my closest friends. I couldn't have asked for a better day to come home to.


Tomorrow is my brother's birthday so tonight we're having a joint birthday party with our aunts, uncles cousins, parents and grandparents. It should be a fun night!

God keeps showing me his love through all the amazing people he has put in my life. I feel so blessed and incredibly fortunate to have the family and friends that I do and I can't imagine my life without them!

Now I will enjoy a nice homemade chicken soft taco-YUM.
