Save the Drama.

Sooo...I tried to update my blog background and FAILED. I'm not a fan of computers sometimes. Anyways...

I am heading to Guatemala in just a few short weeks and I'm so excited about it! I'm nervous as well...but mainly excited. We will be building houses for two families there (aka: getting nasty dirty and not showering properly for a week). :) Honestly, I think it will be a lot of fun. I've always wanted to travel to other countries and this is my first opportunity! I'm so excited to see land besides the US...to have foreign dirt on my shoes...to sing worship with my brothers and sisters in another country. Please pray for me if you think about it. I am nervous/apprehensive. I'm working on trying to get all the supplies I need, while brushing up on my espanol and checking the mailbox for my passport.

Over-committed (aka: me) has been super busy lately of course. We just finished a big fundraiser for the private school where I am a board member. This weekend the youth committee at church is hosting a big youth rally and next week is Senior Adult Camp at Zephyr...which is basically my thing. Needless to say, I'm not sleeping much. :) I'm ready to be done with those things and on my way out of the country...but I know God will provide like He always does. It will all work out fine. I'll just be happy to be looking back at it wondering at how great it all was; rather than looking towards it and wondering how it will ever get done.

The lack of sleep and addition of major amounts of stress in my life always serves to frustrate me and make me dramatic. I've been a drama queen lately. We're not talking "The Bachelor" type drama....but a drama queen in comparison to my usual lack of drama. I'm just mopey and annoyed. I'm emo about lost friendship and ridiculous boys and my face and lack of money. I think it's the winter. I CANNOT WAIT FOR SPRING. Today the sunshine is out and there are flowers in the fields. Spring is right around the corner...but it's not quite here yet. I will be so so happy to have longer days and more sunshine. I think I'm in some kind of winter rut. Hate it. Hate. Hate. More hate. Abundance of Hate.

Hate.

Hahaha...bet you thought I wasn't going to say it again huh? I did.

But let's talk about some positive things! I'm in love with this sweet etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/vol25

They have OVERWHELMINGLY ADORABLE canvas prints like these:

Can't you see a whole bunch of them all clustered together as a wall collage in quirky frames? Ooh. Thank heavens for some cuteness to bring a smile to my face this busy week.

Hope you are having a lovely February!
