just checking in

i am in vermont! 

sometimes i have these weird moments where i just sit back and think about it. i am in the little "v-shaped" state in the northeast and have been for 2 months. i'm leaving in 2 weeks, and i am not sure it has really ever sunk in. 

today freaked me out a little bit. i got up this morning and went with a few of my friends to do some yard work at our church. we then packed lunches and headed out to go swimming at one of our favorite spots. unfortunately our little swimming outing was rained out. even so, we ran by work to pick up our schedules for next week and to say hey to friends. then we went down town for the farmer's market and found ourselves reading newspapers at a local coffee house. the day ended with a nap in my bed with the sun shining through the window on my face. it's amazing how comfortable i have become with this strange life that i am living. 

all that said, i still can't wait to be back in alabama... where i belong! 

wishing miss kate sparks a purple happy birthday,
b

one if by land, two if by sea

the past few weeks have been a whirlwind. my to do list seems to grow longer every day. the moment i check one thing off i feel like 3 new things are added. this week, thankfully, i have a rather laid back week, so top of the to do list is to regain control of my life! 

all though hectic, these past few weeks have been great... the highlight being that my parents came to visit! i wish i had the time to walk you step by step through our adventures in canada, burlington, and boston... but for now i hope these pictures will suffice.










for now,
