What's been happening as of late






Well, it's been a crazy few months. I am now a certified high school graduate :) I turned 17. My parents and I took a 2 week vacation to Jackson and LOVED it! Those boys are just too precious! I absolutely adore them! They get so big every time I see them.

Anyways,in case you haven't heard, my parents and I are planning on moving to TN in just a few short weeks. We have a contract on this house and the moving date is July 15th. I cannot believe how quickly everything has been happening!

As most of you know, I will be departing in just 16 days to go to Sierra Leone, Africa. I have wanted to go to Africa since I was a little girl. God has finally opened the door and I literally CANNOT wait! I will be staying in the Wellington Orphanage with kids who lost their parents during the brutal civil war. Anyways, if you want to read about the trip while I am there, there will be a few of us blogging our experiences on this blog (pushingbackdarkness.com). So, be sure and check that out! The team leaves July 9th and we return home the 22nd. We would love your prayers and support during this time. It will be such a life changing experience for me and I am so thankful that I get to experience it.
