a tropical mission.

hearts were stirred.
passports were stamped.
suitcases were stuffed with toys & treats.
weight limits may or may not have been met.
planes navigated over ocean bodies.
new friends were made.
hammers came in handy.
words received plurals.
schools were visited.
coconuts were drilled.
beaches and cliffs were enjoyed.
dance parties included Owl City "This is my jam"- Bahamian children.
walls were painted.
ceilings were ripped out and put back up.
caves and waves thrilled.
hearts smiled.

pure joy.

I was blessed to spend my last Spring Break with 11 sweet girls serving our Savior on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. We worked with other groups from North Carolina on construction with the Bahamas Methodist Habitat. Hard work and oh so much fun. We played and danced with Bahamian children, jumped off cliffs (into the Caribbean), were in two places at once, and got attacked by waves! All for the Glory :) [More pictures and stories to come]

Vail

My brother and I jumped on a flight to Eagle, the airport in Vail, for a short Spring Break trip! A good friend provided transportation, a place to stay, and ski/snowboard deals! Colorado was on my list of states to see before I graduate and what better way to see it then with a good friend! :) It was absolutely beautiful, with 8 inches of fresh powder falling on our first night!

A Week of Spring :)

I spent part of my Spring Break at home with family and friends this year! Relaxing and refreshing, but quite different from last year! A sailboat is where my last Spring Break was spent... thanks to a great friend! :)
