Hello there. Happy Sunday evening. I hope you had a fantastic weekend.

I dont have anything profound to say, or really anything at all for that matter.

But... I turned in my Casa app, after rewriting my essay three times and being an overanalyzing freak and having small mishaps with recomendations, it all came together, its in and we are that much closer to a semester in El Salvador!

School is insane, exhausting and week 10 "dead week" starts tomorrow. Thing is its more like death week. But we make it through always. The weekend was so productive but not in a not fun weekend kind of way. Friday night I hermitted, started some work, read and went to bed early. Sat we went to the farmers market that I love soo dearly. You can not find a farmers market in early March anywhere near Leadville and the fruit and veggies here are just soo good and fresh. Its fantastic.  I did a whole bunch of homework and hung out with some good people. And now... Im ready for bed. But I still have some more homework ahead of me. Its all good though, I like the feeling of being productive and on top of things, a whole lot.

Im going home next weekend. And I couldnt be more excited for a weekend of relaxing, meeting the 2011 Young RYLA team (SOOO EXCITING) seeing my best friends and spending time with my mama. Perfect cure for the exhaustion and stress of the last couple weeks of school and just good for the soul.

Then I come back, take a final and am off to Arizona for a week in the Navajo Nation with a group of really great people. Super excited for that too. Ive been waiting to do an immersion trip forever and thing that this is gonna be such a cool experience.

Thats all.. I told ya, nothing exciting.

But... check out http://www.addingtothemaddness.blogspot.com and the awesomeness that is going on in my super cool cousins' lives. Tonight and tomorrow morning all you have to do is press "like" twice on a facebook picture contest to help them bring their sweet little boy home. I dreamt about him the other night and he's the perfect fit to add to the love and excitement and joy that they have created with their fun family. They also have a ipad giveaway happening right now! Keep up to date with their blog for lots of ways to help and to follow their exciting and scary adoption journey.

Have a great week, take sometime to breath and look at the pictures on your wall and appreciate all that this life is. Cause even in the midst of writing papers, working on projects and feeling like life is non stop there is so dang much to be so happy about. It makes every word worth writing and every minute of work totally worth it.

See you in a week Colorado, cant wait!
