Hey.
Now that school's officially over, I feel like I have all the time in the world and I almost don't know what to do with all this time. Not sure where I left off, but just wanted to update you guys with things going on in my life!
+ First things first, I'm so thankful for my job and even more thankful for a little summer break. Even though I just started two months ago, I feel like I've grown closer to my co-workers. This place has been a true blessing in disguise. Growing up, I just wanted to help children, but then I truly questioned that when I decided that I didn't want to teach anymore. However, the other day, I realized that this is totally the right place for me to be in a position to help children. It's nothing fancy and some days are definitely harder than others, but this is it and for the first time in a long while, my hear isn't desiring more. All by the grace of God.
+ Budgeting has become a huge thing for me. Learning to manage and steward our finances is important and I've finally realized that! I'll be the first to admit that I'm really not good with money or math, but I want to be able to use our finances wisely; more so that it doesn't become a hindrance in our own lives. Jeffrey is pretty good with money and I'm definitely on the other end of the spectrum. With that said, I want to be intentional even in this area to protect .... the future of our finances, I guess (for better lack of words).
+ Summer plans. Tomorrow, Jeffrey and I are on our way to Minnesota for Annual Conference (so stoked) and then when we get back, I'll go right into summer school orientation. Summer school will last for about a month and then we'll head on over to Wheaton for Hlub camp! Other summer plans include lots of sleeping in when I'm able to, fundraising for future events with our Peru team, tournaments and lots of volleyball, getting darker, and a crazy amount of outings with the youth, nam tsev, and church!
And I guess that's it for now. Update more on life later, of course.

It's been a long time since I've updated y'all here, but an update post to come soon! Just wanted to share some songs that I've been loving and/or have recently found. They've made it to my starred playlist on Spotify, so it's definitely worth a listen! Without further ado ... let's get to 'em!
Butterflies - Kacey Musgraves
Just a fun, cute song! It's giving me good vibes!
Beautiful by Bazzi
Again, just another one of those good beat songs! Definitely something new for me, but so catchy!
Still Fallin' by Hunter Hayes
I haven't listened to Hunter Hayes in a long time, y'all! This song is such a sweet one, though! Sweet country music has a way of making me feel at total peace with all in the world. Ha! Mainly because it just reminds me of good days.
Who You Say I Am by Hillsong
A beautiful song with powerful truth about who we are in Christ. I feel like it's been a recurring theme lately ... our identities in Christ - at least in my life. Because of who He is, we have life in abundance, we can hope in Him and live in freedom because He's paid the ultimate price! Such good truth for us everyday.
Ib Xyoo by David Yang
Definitely a song on the other end of the spectrum, but y'all .... it's good! Haha! Jeffrey also really enjoys it. I'd be lying if I told y'all that I've never listened to this song ... really loud in my car ... with the windows down ... on the way to work. Such a summer-ish song for me. Haha!
* If it doesn't work here, definitely listen to it through youtube.

Heartbreak by Lady Antebellum
Okay .... I have always loved Lady Antebellum and I think they're so talented. Not only that, but I love their chemistry! I will say, however, that I prefer to studio version of this song, but this acoustic sound check is also super nice.

In My Blood by Shawn Mendes
