Kenya 2016

Whoops, ended up in Kenya again :)

Spring Break 2016

So spring break was forever ago. I'm just awful at blogging this semester. This break was so much fun, though, that I'm going to blog about it anyways. 

Kenya!!

I'm going back to Kenya this summer!!

I've known about this decision for a while now, and I'm excited to finally be sharing it with you! As some of you may know, I have been involved in Free Methodist Bible quizzing for about seven years now, five years as a quizzer and two as an adult. In 2014, I was able to go with several other quizzers on a trip to Kenya. We worked to help expand and nurture the quiz program developing there. It was so great to help get others involved in a ministry that has blessed me so much, and I can't wait to do it again this summer! Another team of current quizzers from all over the nation has been assembled, and I am blessed to be one of the adults going along! I already know several of the kids going, and can say without a doubt that this trip will be amazing. I happen to know one of them really well; my little sister is going to be on this team! So obviously this year's trip will be fun.

Although we don't know a lot of the details yet, we do know that it will be for about two weeks this July. So we're starting fundraising and asking for prayers. If you would like to support us, leave a comment or find me on Facebook. We would love any and all support! And please pray for us. Pray for safe travels, for the team to be prepared the way they need to, and that everyone will be able to raise the funds they need.

A throwback picture to the 2014 trip 

This bracelet was a present from one of the vendors at a market we visited in 2014. It serves as a reminder to me to pray for Kenya, as well as reminding me of the lessons I learned that trip.  

Honestly, This Post Has No Real Point

One of the things I really love about nursing school is the feeling of comradeship among the students. You know how college students everywhere come together during finals week? It's like that 24/7 for nursing students. Especially after a test, when we all talk about what our back-up plans are. (Mine include being an author, criminal profiler, or early childhood education. Oh! And the usual option of marrying rich ;))

PseudoSnow Day 2016

It snowed again! I am so happy. Granted, it was only a scant three inches, but still. It's gorgeous.

Semester Four

I am now a full week into this semester! I am already sleep deprived and completely unorganized, so I'm ahead of schedule :)

MMXV

It's been quite a year. I did a similar post last year, so I thought I'd do one again. :)
