phew...

it has been awhile. i do like to blog.

since:

i lived in bozeman. it was beautiful and snowy, even in may.

i learned to deliver BABIES.... fingers crossed i don't ever have to do it alone.

it was fascinating and awesome. watching little HUMANS take their first breath makes me so grateful God gives me mine. in his hand is the life of every creature and the BREATH of all mankind. job 12:10

matthew and i had an amazing VACATION: to visit my grandparents and my roommates. to san francisco and kings of leon. we saw wicked. we camped. we spent time with those we love and those who love us. i shopped, matt was a good sport. we celebrated THREE years. we ate. we relaxed. we drove ALOT and i stayed awake for most of it. glorious.

we camped at the beautiful CDA lake

long, eastern washington drives

china town, of course

haight/ashbury:: love yourself

kings of leon and matt is so excited

oh, how i love the beach, even in the wind and cold

mount shasta near stef and chels

cheka ;)

jodie and i threw one heck of a DANCE party. complete with mimosas, delicious cupcakes courtesy a-cup bakery and amanda k, and tons of booty shaking.

i am home now for three more weeks. learning the ART of surgery. so intricate yet brutal. i like it. i think i like it alot. i'm looking ahead to the END. next stop will be idaho. it will be so hard to be 560 miles from encounter 09, leadership summit, wedding season, scramble for ethiopia just to name a few. but then it will be DONE. wow, i can't believe it. god is so good.
