So...I know I've been MIA for a while... Sorry!! 2009 has gotten off to a crazy, incredible start.
On Dec 28 of last year, I flew out of Austin with my friend and roommate, Liz, to head out on a 7-week journey around the world. We had just started planning the trip less than 6 months prior, but after several emails, many late nights and lots of prayer, we were off to meet people throughout Africa, Turkey, Iraq and Asia to learn about the work they are doing to help the poor, the suffering and the oppressed.
To say it was an incredible experience is an extreme understatement... Going on a trip like this has been a dream of mine for YEARS! And I am so incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity. This trip has changed my life in ways that I'm not even sure I've figure out yet... Liz and I kept a blog during our trip to document our experiences, and I encourage you to take a look if you're interested. (Warning - there's A LOT to read...and you'll have to go back several pages to find the beginning... don't get too overwhelmed!)
It's been about a month since we've been back, and I can't believe it! Time flies... Well, now that I'm back to work, I promise to update my blog more often!
Special thanks to Vanessa for allowing me to take so much time off work to go on my crazy journey...I am forever grateful! I felt TRULY blessed to know that I could go on this great trip, and still come back to my awesome job. :) And thanks to Liz for helping me fulfill my dream!!! I still kind of can't believe we did it... Thanks for everything, Liz!!
