This is our new home! It's a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath that's one street over from the apartment I've lived in for the past year. It's close to school and the grocery store, and we have wonderful neighbors who are already taking good care of us. Best part of all is it's totally in the budget!

Han Llegado Mis Hermanas!
My sisters have arrived!
Emilee and Heather got in on Tuesday evening, and we are beyond excited to live out this next year together here in Monte Cristi.
There is an awesome peace that washes over your heart, soul, and mind when the people surrounding you have similar desires of the heart.
BLESSED.

I miss blogging...
I really really do! "Then why don't you blog more, you silly girl?" If it were only that easy...
See, in my opinion, it's not enough just to give you all an update, bullet-points if you will, of what all is going on in my world right now (although bullets seem to be an appropriate analogy for how fast the days seem to be whizzing by me!). When I write, I want you all to feel what I'm feeling, to really grasp the emotion behind what's going on and how it's affecting me and others. I like for you to read as if you are hearing the words flow straight out my mouth.
Right now, I just don't have the time to be creative and write to my posting standards.
So, like it or not, here come the bullets....

So, like it or not, here come the bullets....
- My summer was kick-butt amazing and I enjoyed almost every moment!
- When I got back to the DR, they asked me to be the 1st grade teacher this year...yikes!!! I accepted and have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get my kids to march to the rhythm of my drum. They are almost there, just have a few that are still a little off beat.
- Heather and Emilee are about to move down and join me on the Dominican Rollercoaster Ride! They come on Wednesday, and we're moving into a house! Nothing is nailed down yet, but I'm just gonna say the Lord takes care of His daughters :o)
- I got a washing machine!!! I spent the last year washing my clothes by hand and I now know what a silly I was for doing so. It's been one of my best investments ever! I've washed at least one load a day, and on days when there's a sufficient supply of water, I may even squeeze in a few more!
- I've been able to reconnect with lots of people and have even made some new friends. I'm really starting to see how the desires God has given me for Monte Cristi are starting to blossom. The only word I know to call it is CRAZY!
