What an amazing day today! It's about 65-70 degrees out I love it! Although June 1st was the first day of winter this is just so heavenly! It's a quiet day today because the snowboarder staff left for the weekend to have some bonding time. I feel so energized today I could just go run 10 miles! It's days like today that remind me of being home and going off for a drive with the windows down, radio turned up, not having a care in the world! You need days like that to keep you sane. Or at least I do! I am taking this weekend to recharge and process myself. I have to pinch myself sometimes or just burn myself with the stupid oven in the kitchen to make sure I'm really here. It hit me last night that I'm really here for 2 years. It seems so long but then again so short. I am happy to be doing it and I'm psyched to see what God is going to teach me! Ultimately that's why I'm here, just to be stretched by him. Being this far from home really doesn't feel like I'm in a different country or across the ocean because everyone is family here and I feel right at home. It's such great life experience to get out and experience the world and different cultures! I was telling my mother yesterday that once in my life I would really like to go to India. Asia has such beautiful people with beautiful hearts. Who knows though my future is up to God. Which you know thank goodness because I really don't want to think about it! hehe...
Living in a house with 6 girls is so great! The stories that come out of it are what will last a lifetime. I just love how we are six individual girls but we are a tight knit bunch. Granted I am the youngest but my maturity level is higher than most my age but I can also act like a 12 year old at times don't get me wrong. Have you ever heard the line:
"I'm just really immature"
It's from a movie, my friend and I say that to each other whenever we do something stupid or embarrassing. It makes us laugh and brings us back to reality. Here in this house I do that a lot just with how funny we all are. What I also love though is how we build each other up in prayer and encouragement. When one of us is down or having an off day there is always someone there to be a "pick me up" to the other.
One big happy family! So that's all for now I'm gonna enjoy the weather while it's here and hopefully lasts until tomorrow. (or the rest of winter would be nice too!)
