Life Before Nepal


My Fellowship has ended, I currently have no job, and I still find myself as busy as ever. Most of this time consists of organizing my room in bits and pieces (getting ready to move out soon), going down my extensive to-do list pre-Nepal, taking noon spin classes and playing with the most beautiful kids I know. This picture is of me and Naomi. She is 3 years old and belongs to Katie and Adam- two of the nicest people ever and two of my greatest friends. Naomi (Dee-Dee) is one of 4 children ranging in age 4 months to 4.5 years. They make me happy and always help remind me of what is important in life: the simple things! They take me to a place that grounds me- a place that caters to playing dress-up, doing 'cannonballs' in the pool, kissing baby brother, and pretending to be astronauts under a tent in the living room. Can't you tell why I am thankful for these children??
These next few weeks will fly by, I know. I am currently in the process of developing and implementing some fundraising ideas for the trip and going down my list for packing. I also have little trips here and there that I am sure will be posted. :)
