2 months...

In 2 months I will be boarding a plane and say good-bye to the States! It sounds wonderful and scary all at the same time :) I am very grateful that God gave me so much time to prepare for this move.

The next 8 weeks at home are sure to be exciting! I will be wrapping up the 2010-2011 year at school, saying "see you later" to friends and family, going on a beach vacation for one last hurrah! with the fam, seeing some friends that will be coming in town, attending baby showers and weddings, and the list goes on (like eating as much mexican food as I can).

I absolutely cannot wait to see all the kids at the foster home again. Many of the children have been adopted, gotten life-saving surgeries, been moved to foster families, been matched with a family, and all of them have grown up immensely! It will be incredible to see how each one has changed and to meet all the new faces.

Sean can melt any girl's heart! 

The staff of the foster home--both foreign and local--I miss as well, and I will be excited to see each one them and to spend time growing and maturing with them. All of them really "get it" and have such a desire to help in any way possible without taking any credit for it. We could all learn something from their humility and servant-centered hearts (yours truly incldued). 
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the LORD CHRIST you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

I look forward to all the changes and hope to embrace them one by one. And, just being honest, I am really looking forward to having some NEW pictures!
