Back to typing up old diary entries from previous travels! Current 2017 thoughts on my super sassy, over exaggerated self from 2012 will be in bold and purple. July 3, 2012 I have gotten into a bad habit of getting distracted and leaving my journals unfinished. Also, I have finally gotten tape to put everything [...]
June 20, 2012 5:00 pm Stirling, Scotland I think everyone in my flat has gone to sleep. It's rather comical that we all were able to go about three days without completely passing out. I slept from about 1:30 pm - 4. Great nap. The past three days have actually been [...]

People are always asking me, “Which place has been your favorite?” But I have no way to answer that!! Every place is my favorite for different reasons. Of course, I do have places that I want to go to again (and again and again)! That’s usually the list I try to give people. Mrs Ayla's [...]
My LL Bean book bag was one of the greatest investments ever. I remember when Mama bought me that book bag the summer before my senior year of high school presently six years ago. I didn't even want the thing! At the time, I had used the same pink backpack for about five years. The [...]
So I found this great article by USA Today on the 10 Best Bucket List for Sporting Events. I was just talking with a friend the other day about the different sporting events I want to go to in my life. Some of the events on that list I'm not crazy about doing while others mean [...]
1. Jerusalem, Israel from the Mt. of Olives I have never been so moved by a view as I was from this one. Looking out over the rolling hills and square buildings of this ancient city took my heart. To think of all of the amazing things that have happened here. As a Christian woman, [...]
