(This is what I get for getting behind on posts: things run together and I’m unable to distinguish what happened when! This is a shorter post than usual, due to my inability to remember more than what was already written within the midst of the week) An inconvenience turned into a sweet memory Thursday. When…

I combined three weeks into one post, as two of those weeks were spent mostly in bed, recovering from COVID (don’t worry, I’m quite recovered and feeling like myself once again). Before being down with COVID, I got to meet up with one of the girls who has come out to our fellowship dinner on…

…here! I was offered an extension at my current department and accepted! This means I will be remaining in North Carolina until the end of October! Then, I’ll be off to Israel immediately afterwards! I’m so excited to be able to stay here longer! These peeps have come to have a very special place in…

Monday was the 4th of July, so my office was closed and I was able to partake in the day’s festivities! One of the chapels hosted a rally for all the other chapels, so it was quite the gathering of folks! It was overstimulating, yet exhilarating to see so many familiar faces all in one…

After one month and one day (but who was counting? Certainly not me…), the Jeep is roadworthy once again! Hooray! Natalee’s cousin, Anna, visited us for the first half of the week, which was so great! Monday night, once the Jeep had its plates on, us housemates and Anna all hopped into the Jeep and…

This week wasn’t as packed with unusual or remarkable things (though there is still a lot on the schedule!), but there were one or two worth sharing! Monday was a day off for me, filled with so much fun. I took no photo evidence though, so you’ll just have to take my word for it….

So many small, wonderful things happened this week! For starters, my friend Kate (remember her from DC last summer?) came to Fort Bragg for the week and stayed at the Allen’s! It was so wonderful to see her again, catch up, and savor one another’s company! Whether getting coffee together or walking and talking within…

As I reflect on the past week, I see a common thread: people. And I love that! People are the biggest part of why I chose to take a contract in Raleigh, why I choose to live in Fayetteville, what I fill my schedule with, etc. As an extrovert, it’s easy to enjoy time around…

This week wasn’t quite as packed as previous weeks, but a lot of good things still occurred within it! Wednesday evening, I went over to Julie’s, who lives on the same street as the Allen’s, house for dinner (unfortunately, I forgot to grab a pic with her). It’s so energizing to get to meet new…

Does anyone else portion out time? I was never a math aficionado, but I find myself tracking time by fractioning it. For example, I am now a third of the way through this assignment! Wowzers! I befriended a girl named Hilary at the women’s retreat last weekend who lives in Raleigh, so I met up…
