Back in the EEUU

Well most of you know that I returned home safely from Peru about 2 weeks ago. I have been sick (bronchitis or something….but don’t worry, my TB test came back negative!) but am doing well otherwise. I am back living on Ivanhoe and started summer school at LSU. Also I have been getting ready to go to Birmingham for school this fall and filling out loan applications, medical clearance forms and all of the other necessities. It has been an interesting and busy 2 weeks….things have changed here a bit and on top of that even the things that are the same I just have a different outlook on them now.

I think one of the most important lessons I learned this year, or rather something that I have a renewed appreciation for are the innumerable blessings that I have been given. Everything from friends and family to water that I can drink out of the faucet and the hair on my head. Life here is so much easier and we are so lucky despite the things that life weighs us down with!
