Engagements


My sister is engaged. Of course she is 2 1/2 years younger than me...
But I am so happy that she found a Godly man who adores her. I love Kevin, and I'm very excited to have him officially be part of our family.
I don't know when they are getting married yet.
But I do know that her ring is GORGEOUS!

Also my cousin April is engaged too!! Congrats to Ape and Jake. April is one of my bestest buds in the whole entire world!

To My Mother


Dear Mommy,
I was never called to live a life of safety.
C.S. Lewis put it best:

"Aslan a man!" said Mr. Beaver sternly. "Certainly not. I tell he is the King of the wood and the son of the great Emperor-beyond-the-Sea. Don't you know who is the King of the Beasts? Aslan is a lion - the Lion, the Great Lion."
"Ooh!" said Susan, "I'd thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."
"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver; "if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly."
"Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.
"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver; "don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."

HOME!


I'm going home in 8 days!
This is such a big deal. It has been 1 year since I've been in America. I can't believe I've lasted this long. About 8 months ago, I was ready to flee Cambodia.
I'm going Home!
