    Oh Hey, Friday!

    Oh hey, Friday! Weren’t you just here??? The countdown is on for our trip to Rwanda…17 days! {holy cow!} If really you know me or have followed along the past year, you probably know that I’m an extremely last minute packer. As many Type A tendencies as I have, organizing and packing for a trip just aren’t ones I posses. But I can’t handle that stress on top of taking not only myself, but a team, out of the country.

    Thursday Thoughts & Five on Friday

      It’s been a crazy week of me playing catch up, at work and at home, and unfortunately I just haven’t had the time or desire to work on this little dot com space of mine. But I want to write {which is so weird for me!}. I need to get all these little thoughts that have been floating around in my head down on paper blogged and thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a completely random Thursday thoughts/Five on Friday post. Please excuse the fact that my title says five because I’m breaking the rules a little today. linked with darci, christina, natasha and april 1| My mama is normally…
